Pretty sad people actual have to ask this. You can not change your gender. Ever. DNA never changes. You are born a boy or a girl. That is who you are. You can never change that. People who think they are able to change their gender need mental help.

The Inmates have been running the asylum. Let’s change that and protect the rights of Woman athletes. If Transgenders want to compete then open up a new lane or venue for Trans Athletes. As for private areas for changing, showering and the like… we need to hold the line in favor of common sense and tradition. Women deserve our respect and privacy.

DEI in sports or anything is not good. Sports must be “gender specific” – males (birth) compete with males, etc. I do not support, in sports, a group for male and female. You see, I am “old fashioned “, I know that God made male and female only. No in-betweens. DEI in business destroys individual merit. I could go into a discussion on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion- but there is not enough space here for that. I do not believe in business practices based on DEI and many companies are now doing away with DEI and going on promotions and awards based on merit. Remember affirmative action? That was the seed that sprouted like a weed into DEI. I am a retired SGM(E-9) Army CID. I have seen the poison effects of DEI in a military that had been honed to sharpen individual skills based on performance, not delegated by DEI. God made males and females DIFFERENT, each has a different purpose in life. Mix them up and you get emotional and physical issues, some of which cannot be reversed, then you get a person who is not longer mentally or physically stable as God intended.

Will there be girls’ bathrooms, showers, and changing areas also? Since assaults against girls by biological men have occured in what should be private settings, would make sense to have girls facilities for the girl’s division restored as well. Not really asking too much, used to be standard that biological men not be allowed in girls bathrooms, showers, and changing locker rooms.

Maybe there’s still hope that sane adults will make the right decision, by barring biological males from competing in women’s sports !!!
