Girls sue to block participation of transgender athletes

The lawsuit centers on two transgender sprinters, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, who have frequently outperformed their cisgender competitors.

The two seniors have combined to win 15 girls state indoor or outdoor championship races since 2017, according to the lawsuit. The three plaintiffs have competed directly against them, almost always losing to Miller and usually behind Yearwood. Mitchell finished third in the 2019 state championship in the girls 55-meter indoor track competition behind Miller and Yearwood.

The other issue I wonder about is the insistence that transgender women be allowed to use the girls' locker rooms. It's all about them and how uncomfortable they feel being forced to use a boys' locker room. What about the girls feeling forced to share with a trans girl? If I had a daughter and she was uncomfortable being forced to share with a trans girl, I'd be furious. Why is it always about how the trans kids feel? What about the other kids?

There's a reason sports are segregated by gender. My sister and I were both track & field athletes in high school and college. My sister is the one who encouraged me to run, and when I started we ran together. When we started competing we stopped training together because I have physical advantages being male (plus, I have disproportionately long legs) and she couldn't keep up.

Has anyone considered the fact that the trans athletes might just be exceptional athletes and it has nothing to do with the fact that they were born biologically male? The way they are looking at this is that any male put into compete against them has an advantage, when in reality a large percentage of them wouldn’t necessarily be better than the females who train at the sport.

Isn’t title IX about being able to participate in sports, it’s not about who gets to win at sports? Just have girls and boys compete against each other problem solved. They are given the opportunity, if they never work hard enough to actually win that’s on them. After all the first female who finishes the NYC marathon may not be the first person to cross the finish line, but she is still beating out tens of thousands of men to finish before them so it obviously can be done.

Except that back when these trans were competing against other males, they were average at best, getting their asses kicked regularly. They were NOT champs. They only became 'exceptional' and started winning when they started competing against bio girls, who cannot compete against the advantages of a male body, even an average one. Even years of hormones cannot significantly erase those advantages. They're permanent. That's why the trans who are forcing themselves into women's competitions are so hellbent on this course - when competing against their own sex, they're nothing. Only on an unfair playing field can they triumph.

These girls, in particular, are not being denied the opportunity to participate and by all accounts they sound like they are strong contenders, it is just that they aren’t winners and seem bitter about coming in second or third or no place. If this was a lawsuit filed by biological girls who did not get a place on the team because it was taken by a trans athlete than I might actually be sympathetic. But I have not seen anything stating that at all. And a sport like this everyone who wants to should be able to participate it’s not like they can only have so many people on a team like baseball. The problem here is that the trans athletes are winning, if they were not I don’t think there would be any lawsuit at all. These are bitter, vindictive, mean girls who are not getting their way and using lawyers and wealthy parents to fight their battles.

They're making common cause with them because the left has completely abandoned bio women - including lesbians - to their fate, which is to be totally subjugated by trans ideology. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'. It's as old as the hills. If the left were willing to engage with this issue in any sort of nuanced way, they wouldn't be driven to this. Look at what the Labour Party is trying to do to its female members - force them to say that 2+2=5 or they will be PURGED. How Orwellian. Women have to use whatever means at their disposal to fight back. If it means associating with rabid right-wingers because they're the only ones who'll listen, then that's what it's come to. Think about that.

GLB folk have always argued that affirming GLB rights takes nothing a way from straight people. But the transwomen really ARE seeking to take things away from bio women, and are doing so in the most bullying, male ways possible. Not asking, telling. Forcing. Not listening to concerns. They want, therefore they must have, and fuck women's feelings and their sex-based rights.

R90 hit the nail on the head.

This seems to be the status quo as far as the left's take on social issues is concerned anymore—you are either with them, or you are a hateful trans/homo/fat/phobic racist Nazi. There is absolutely no account for nuance anymore (nor any pause to clarify or engage in a discussion), and it really does a lot of damage to the social consciousness because people (and the world) are extremely complicated.

There’s a reason why countries cheat by giving women testosterone or even cis-gendered women with naturally occurring high levels of testosterone perform better.

There's no such thing as a "cis" gay male or "cis" gay female" - it's a gibberish word like out of Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky". And it's not necessary / superfluous to put "biological" in front of "gay male" - "male" already implies "male biology of our species". A straight female with a surgically inverted vagina is a not a "trans gay male".

Here in the UK, we are now pretty much at Peak Trans. Labour leadership hopeful Keir Starmer was asked "How you define a woman?" on the BBC last night, and as far as I can tell, a lot of viewers are completely baffled that that was even considered a question. The GRA is now being discussed outside of far-left circles, and the general public seem to agree that it puts girls and women at risk.

With any luck, the US will not be far behind us and these girls will be vindicated. So, when you see people smearing them as "mini Karens" or whatever the fuck they call them on social media, just remember that these people are going to feel very, very stupid when the backlash starts.

They're not radfems or lesbians, they're just straight ladies. They've said so multiple times, though in recent months have been trying to hide it. Sometimes they pretend to be gay men and are laughably bad at it; they sound like a community production of Boys in the Band.

That's why we're getting comments on a gay board about how gays -- the very people who this board is for -- should shut up. They're straight people trying to fracture our community.

If all they wanted to do was discuss trans issues, they would go to a board specifically for that conversation, they wouldn't hijack a gay board for it. Remember, they didn't even show up until Milo Y. brought his alt-right trolling over here, and this was one of the wedge issues he posted about all the time.

I'm not the trans troll and I like to think that I'm an ally to the trans community, but at the same time, I do think it's ridiculous for trans women who are (let's be honest) still biologically male, to be able to compete against biological females in sports.

I know the argument is that the hormone blockers and everything puts trans women and biological women on the same playing field, but I don't buy that. Hormone blockers or not, you can't escape biology as it relates male strength and speed versus female strength and speed.

I support trans rights, but this is a bridge too far. I don't know what the answer is, but they should not be allowed to compete.

Only a fool would see this as a double standard.

The fundamental basis for separating physical sports competition by men and women reflects biological differences in the sexes. You either believe they should be segregated or you don't. If you do, then trans athletes should not be allowed to compete. If you don't, then physical sports should have one open competition that would be dominated by men with few, if any, women competing in the elite echelons. It has nothing to do with how you identify.

It has nothing to do with: "Maybe, but it seems a little too "separate but equal." And this country has a bad history with "separate but equal." - What a laughable dog whistle to compare the two.

Lol, R5/R45 is not a “gay man”. It’s the loony Trans-activist Troll (R5=r45=R52=r55=r67=r69=r74=r75=r79=r103). The Trans-activist Troll keeps pretending to be a “gay man” (and often capitalises “Gay Man” - trademark over-compensation for a lie), but then spews loony BS like “women have PENISES and vags!” (in R5’s posting history).

The hilarious Trans-activist Troll was already exposed on a recent thread. The Troll boasted: “I ONLY care about Gay Men!” - but as soon as it was revealed that the legislation in question was for gays instead of Trannies, the Troll immediately went into hysterical meltdown-mode and no longer gave a heck about gays (a.k.a. ’the legislation needs to be for Trans!’). The Trans-activist Troll only cares about exploiting the LGB platform to get self-serving benefits only for the Trans.

The Trans-activist Troll then migrated to this thread and now keeps obsessively screeching “CIS” this and “CIS” that. The Troll is Trans. No normal “gay guy” goes about screeching about “cis-males” and “cis-females” (notice: not even “cis-gendered” - but “cis-male” (!) i.e. the Troll's extremely wacky delusion that e.g. straight females can biologically 'transition' into gay males, and vice versa). And it’s funny that the Troll calls everyone “cis” except ‘xir-self’. So if you so wackily believe in “cis” BS but don’t even call yourself “cis”, Trans-activist Troll @ R45 - ergo, you’re a secret Tranny.

Human gender = human sex. The only reason why silly English-speakers started using “gender” instead of “sex” is because in the past people were very prim and nobody wanted to say or write the word “sex” out-loud in polite society. (Because the word “sex” also meant “the act of fucking” and could make people blush in the past.) So instead of the word “sex” English-speakers started using “gender” as a [italic]euphemism[/italic] for “sex”.

And now English-speakers have become even sillier and more confused and suddenly think these are words with totally different connotations, but they’re not. For humans, gender = sex. They’re synonyms. And that’s the rule for most languages similar to English.

But English-speakers now got these simple synonymous words all mixed up (thinking "gender" is some kind of bizarre 'metaphysical transient state') - and are trying to spread & promote this confusion to the rest of the world.

"Whatever, babe. Cocks and balls in the battered women's shelters or the high school locker rooms or the waxing salons isn't affording biological women much freedom or happiness."

You missed my whole point. I totally agree with this statement, because sex-- not "gender"-- is what matters in these situations.

Most of the girls these two have run against are black, including one of the girls suing but ok.

I agree with the above posts that we've separated the terms sex and gender needlessly. It is just that when you say 'sex role' it means something vastly different.

But in the end - it's the same shit.

Sex is science.

Gender is who wore it best?

I've stopped using the word "gender" unless I'm discussing languages like French or Spanish. I even cross the word out on medical forms and write in "sex."

These cis girls are doing right thing. Trans women should never be allowed to compete with Cis women as trans-women has lot of Physical advantage.

Trans women have a very high bone density than cis women . It is medically proven fact. Cis women should not be bullied or silenced

I have no hatred against trans women but they should their own category of sports. Competing with Cis women is really unfair

R189 or make them compete against men, or it that considered unfair because trannjes take hormones and develop side effects?? The hypocrisy lol since trannies do Not have to deal with menstruation during competition and have a huge body size advantage.

That's not "white privilege," r191/Kit, which is a bullshit theory anyway. It's not even a first-world problem. It's just plain old narcissism.

The utterly ridiculous and singularly unattractive entity in R191's video can walk into any salon in the world and get whatever haircut he/she/they want if he/she/they have the money to pay for it. He/she/they could also go to a stylist-in-training and get whatever coiffure they want for a reduced fee or even free of charge and I guarantee you NOBODY WILL FUCKING CARE about their terribly unique set of personal delusions aka 'gender identity'. Nonsense like this makes me hope for a giant asteroid that will remove our species from the face of the earth.
