The NCAA is boycotting any state that doesn't allow trans-women to compete in women's sports.

This graphic shows opportunities girls lost out on because those opportunities went to trans athletes.

Have a look, then let's talk about making sports fair for girls

You can see the biological difference between men and women illustrated perfectly in this clip.

In this 4 person mixed relay the polish woman got the baton with a 5 second lead on the last leg of the relay...and the men speed past her like she's standing still.

This is a picture of how much of an advantage that biological male athletes have when they train.

This does not just go away when someone declares a new identity.

-In 2017 Craid Telfor ranked 390th in the mens 400m hurdles.
-In 2018 Craig Telfor transitioned to being a woman and became CeCe Telfor.
-In 2019 CeCe Telfor won the women's 400m hurdles at the Womens Division II National Championship

How is this fair to women?

Renee Richards was a man who became a trans-woman, and at age *45* became the 20th ranked women's player in the world. Richards now says if the transition had at happened age 22 rather then at 40 then "no genetic woman in the world would have been able to get close to me"

In 1998 Karsten Braasch, the 203rd ranked male tennis player in the world, beat Venus and Serena Williams in back to back games pf tennis in the same day.

It wasn't even close.

Braash got up, played 18 holes of golf, had a couple of drinks, then beat Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2

This dude played golf, had a couple beers, then proceeded to beat the greatest womens tennis player in history 6-1, and her sister 6-2.
Serena could beat me (I've never played tennis), but she couldn't beat the 203rd ranked man fresh of a round of golf and a couple of beers...

I'm not saying Serena Williams isn't a great athlete. She is.
I'm not saying Venus Williams is not a great athlete. She is.
I'm not saying the U.S. womems soccer team aren't great athletes. They are.

All these women could beat me at their sport, but that misses the point...

The point is that girls deserve a level playing field and they won't get it if they have to compete against genetic males. The size, strength, and mechanical advantages men have due to their biology don't disappear because someone identifies as female or takes female hormones.

Look at this...

The U.S. women's soccer team that won the last world cup was beat 5-2 by a group of *14 YEAR OLD BOYS*

Look at the size difference in these pictures. The 14 year old boy dwarfs the women.

That doesn't disappear if he comes out as trans.

There are high school boys that beat womens world records in track and field.

Look at the 100 meted record as an example:

This is clearly not fair.

It's clear that Trans Activists think male and female are just arbitrary social roles. To them it makes as much to talk about biological women as it does to talk about a "biological president" or "biological nerd"
....
13/
That is not reality.

We do not need to accept the language games and absurd philosophy of fringe trans activists.

We are allowed to tell them no, and we should
14/
Lastly,

It's an absolute shame the way we treat female athletes. The biological advantages of men do not diminish the skill, expertise, work ethic, and athleticism of female athletes. If we really value sports and competition then we should value and FUND women's sports...
15/
Men who mock women's sports do no favor to the cause of fairness.

After all, if women's sports are a joke who cares if men transition to women and then compete and win all the medals?

Well I care.

And I think it isn't fair and we ought to fight for women's sports...
16/

So keep the mocking of women's sports of my TL (thats a block or mute) and let's defend a fair playing field for women. This is a winning issue and it is also clearly the fair and moral thing to do.

One last thing...
17/

People like Asa Hutchinson or Kristy Noem who cave to the economic pressure from the radical activists should be tossed out of office immediately and without delay.

Time to have a spine.
