Excellent move on behalf of young girls trying to compete as athletes
I don't have kids nor am involved in any youth sports, but is this an issue? I hear it talked about, but do not know any real numbers to it.

Inventing an issue where there isn't one.

Not in numbers, but when a meaty oaker male athlete transitions and beats your more skilled daughter based on superior size/strength, you would care. Might not matter in most cases, but when you're talking about champion-level stuff, you would. And should.
I've seen several instances of trans girls smoking the competition at various HS track and field state championships. It's definitely happening. It definitely shouldn't be.

Is this an issue? You automatically are the worst poster of all time for that comment.
Regarding the transgender issue, here's one comment that I read on another forum:
(Paraphrasing) "Yet there are State Athletic Associations that sanction girls wrestling against boys on the High School mat, and parents who encourage their daughters to do so."
It was a while back so I don't recall the specific intent of that comment, but I think it was along the lines of "Mom and Dad will let her wrestle a boy, but get upset if she gets beat by a "boy" in the 200 meter dash.
Anyone care to comment on that point of view?

Not the same. The girls choose to wrestle against the boys in the OHSAA state tourney. OTOH, there has been a state tournament for girls in Ohio the last couple of years. Now if boys or boys who became girls were allowed to compete, it's apples to apples.

Disagree. Title IX will be diminished due to this, sad really

OHSAA will sanction it next year.
As for the wrestling, I feel like if a girl chooses to wrestle against the boys, she should be made to compete the entire season in those competitions.
Funny how track and field and running events are used literally 100% of the time to try and push this agenda. A nice non contact sport.
Just wait till 6'5" Johnny plays girls basketball and dunks all over the place. The boys playing girls sports will end quickly

I think that here are a "handful", I'm aware of Texas and California for sure.
There are a lot of colleges that have female wrestling. Most are at the JC, NAIA, and D3 level. I don't know any at D1, but there could be.
Ohio's girl wrestling is not sanctioned by the OHSAA (yet).
I personally have no issue with females playing male sports, biologically I can't think of any physical advantage, anyone? Maybe floor routine in gymnastics?
I really don't have an issue if no female sport exist and a female want to play on the high school hockey team for example, that is why I asked about wrestling

Over half the country now. It's the fastest growing HS sport in the US.

Just ignore it.

I guess it's more of a real topic than I thought. I know it exists, but I just thought it was very rare, and it seemed like a grandstanding issue for pols.

No idea where to put this, but LMFAO. Public servant RBG was made to be a goddess celebrity in nearly all liberal circles, but NOW we should be concerned about a justice signing a book deal?
How about stop glorifying all public servants?
In other terrible “journalism”, this guy from the WAPO wrote an article telling Tim Scott (who’s grandfather did pick cotton) that his black family wasn’t poor enough.
