[QUOTE="DirtyMike, post: 289103, member: 229"] I often view the girls in boys sports differently than boys in girls sports. I guess you could label it "sexist" but I lean more towards common sense. You're always able to try your hand at a level higher than what you're at. Girls have a physical disadvantage when competing against boys, especially after puberty hits and the activity is anything that requires strength. We had girls wrestle and play football in high school. A couple of boys wanted to play volleyball and they were denied. Even at that point in time, I got it. The only foreseeable action is to create another division for all transgender. Otherwise there will be individuals with zero personal pride that will exploit this "loop hole." Imagine having no shame but successful at a certain sport. You identify as a female because you'll probably be better than most, if not all, of the other competitors. You start to rack up state championship trophies and get a few college scholarship offers. Liberal State University sees this as an opportunity for some good PR. You compete for four years at the university, no college debt, maybe a national title(s) and get propped up with some sort of sponsorship after your NCAA days are done. Life is pretty good at that point so you decided that you no longer identify as the opposite gender and you fade into the afterthought. dammit, I should have thought of this back in high school. I'd have had to change my name to Hilda because I'd be one ugly girl. [/QUOTE]
