Of all the nuance and complexity related to this notion of transgenderism, one issue — in my humble view — doesn’t deserve a moment of debate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Should girls who once were boys be allowed to compete against girls in athletic events? No! A thousand times no. Aww, hell, make it a million times no.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I do not object to people suffering from “non-binary” gender identity. I cannot relate to it personally. I have no particular interest in the matter, except for those who want to legislate against those who cannot come to grips with their gender identity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But when it comes to children who were born male competing against those who’ve been female all their lives, that’s another matter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Allow me to state a fact or two. Check every record logged in every athletic endeavor and one thing becomes obvious. Males jump higher and longer, run faster and lift greater weights than females. A male’s DNA is embedded in him. That’s why I find this discussion in some political races so maddening. Gina Hinajosa, the Democratic nominee for Texas governor, said she sees “no problem” with boys competing against girls. Well, I do have a problem with it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I see no need to relegate female athletes to automatic runner-up finishers to those who possess ability granted to them at birth by virtue of their gender.<\/p>\r\n\n
