[quote=Anonymous]Someone born male has a tremendous advantage over those born female in some sports. Track and field is a good example. Lung capacity matters a lot. Those born male usually have a lung capacity exceeding that for born females.

In some states, all a high school student has to do to compete is say (s)he identifies with a certain gender. There's a lawsuit in Connecticut brought by born females  who lost out to born males and thus were blocked from going forward. For example, for one event, the top 2 finishers in each section go on to the state final. In one section, both of the top 2 finishers were born male. This meant that no born female from that section advanced to the state final. In reality, this means that those young women aren't going to get the benefit of competing in the state finals in  college admissions and/or athletic scholarships. So, they are suing.

I agree with them. This is unfair competition. You don't have to hate trans people to think it's unfair. [/quote]
