    The organizations responsible for governing sports. Depending on the sport and the level of competition some examples include the NCAA, the International Olympic Committee, the state boards responsible for governing high school athletics, the LPGA and WTA.

    I have mixed feelings on the subject. This is the transgender player on the San Jose State Women's Volleyball team. She roomed with a genetic female who had no idea that she was transgender (she obviously had surgery to remove her male junk). Do you think that she should be using the men's locker room?

    You’re right, my bad. I think I’ve said that a couple of times to you lately. :cool:
    It is much more limited in scope than i first thought.

    Yes, we definitely needed government intervention for this. Really getting down to the nitty gritty and solving our most urgent issues.

    You think your daughter/grand daughter should compete against males for scholarships?

    Wow some of you have some screwed up thoughts. And to justify it with youth sports. Wow!

    Did you hear his testimony as to how many athletes in all NCAA sports identify as transgender? Less than 10. Worry about something importan.

    Would you be okay with your daughter being forced to change in the same locker room as a biological male?

    Go listen to the NCAA president's testimony and come back when you have some idea what you are posting about.

    I fear that just opens it up for female athletes to get shafted by an activist in power. This is a simple thing that we should all agree on, but sadly we do not

    So what you are saying is that you would be ok with your daughter being forced to change in the same locker room as a biological male. That is crazy! What is wrong with you! SICK!

    69% actually agree. In today’s politics that’s a substantial majority.

    we don’t hear enough from those who make the sacrifice - the women/girl competitors. Older folks in position of leadership and usually outside of sports make the decision.

    The reality is…the vast majority do agree on this. But a vocal minority is pushing one of the oddest agendas I think we will see in our lifetimes.

    The irony is the vocal minority many times are the ones that attempt to “claim” "science".
