    I am absolutely not in favor of eliminating women's sports. Just denying that high school boys could beat best women. I referenced Selena because it's easier to compare individual than team sports. Fewer variables. Do high school boys swim better than Katie Ladecky? Run faster than Sha'Carrie Richardson?

    Sha'Carrie Richardsons 100 meter time of 10.65 wouldn't rank her in the top 3000 all time of US HS boys. Outside the top 10,000 HS boys times world wide. She would be outside the top 300 boys times in the US this year.

    And Katie Ledeckys best time of 26.64 is slower than the HS boys record of 19.11 in the 50m freestyle by 7 seconds.

    It's just different. Men and women are built different.

    My daughter 25 years ago was a Pole Vaulter at Western Oregon, she was ranked nationally and won several high profile invitationals. She also played women's softball. She favors women's leagues and doesn't think trans participants are that big a deal if they are following State policy.
    My 5th grade granddaughter plays on traveling softball team and they are made top of skilled players from different districts, they could beat one of my grandsons 5th grade rec teams as they are much like the bad new bears.
    Me personally I agree with designated sex at birth as a way to protect girls and women's sport in the long haul.

    I went through boy&explorer scouts, and would have loved campouts with girls. I just dont think most girls would want to couple with boys. I dont care if there are separate organization for boys girls , women or men.

    They do want to couple, but you may have to buy them dinner first.

    Just curious - what settles your "sex at birth"?

    Not feeling super jazzed about this… but at least I know what the stakes are now.

    I’m sure this is completely contextual and not wildly exaggerated in any way.
