That is very weird. Surely the question is: has anywhere that has used this as its bible for coaching had a better retention of girls in sport? If not, junk it. That would be science, right?

Also the level of grift visible in these things is amazing. People with no understanding of science who make up the lyrics as they go along. But who then attack you when you question it: that “you sound as though you’re hurt by this” comment is a perfect passive-aggressive ad hominem which doesn’t actually deal with the question.

No amount of illogical reasoning and excuses will EVER justify a male competing in female athletic competions.

Any male who 'identifies' HIS way into such a mismatched gender competition is simply cheating HIS way to rob a true female athlete from HER justly earned athletic talents and efforts.

A cheat is a thief... plain and simple. Sadly, such gender controversies are fueled by those who falsely claim to seek an equality that is an impossible equality.
