Even though I oppose transgenderism in sports, so long as the current system is stacked against boys, I don't object to boys gaming the system. We need to be consistent about acknowledging the physical and psychological differences between male and female. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-78972936121267143242017-03-02T17:50:53.393-05:002017-03-02T17:50:53.393-05:00Procedurally, a recent Texas transsexual teen (fem...Procedurally, a recent Texas transsexual teen (female wanting to be male), competed in the state wrestling tournament and won.<br /><br />She was taking testosterone and bulking up for "the change". She wants to be a man.<br /><br />But so does that teen boy in wrestling. Can he start using testosterone and other hormone therapies to speed that process along?

If she were a track athlete, could she take steroids and compete in those events, especially ones like the shot-put?<br /><br />I fear for girls in sports now. We have already had high school girls miss out on state competition because of either girls on steroids or boys who think they are girls.<br /><br />But for some reason, we are considered the ones who want to take women's rights back to the 20s...Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230576503431727315noreply@blogger.com
