Of course, you are 100% correct. Girls and women need fair competition. As many of us have been arguing for some time, this has nothing to do with "inclusion". Everyone can be included in the competition but to be fair, the competition has to be between fairly matched athletes. There's actually no reason that trophies cannot be awarded in two separate divisions of the same competition. Inclusiveness and fair play are two separate issues. Why is this so difficult for people to understand? For instance, https://everythingisbiology.substack.com/p/steroids-gender-and-fair-play
This is one of the best pieces I have read in this hell hole world that my daughter is in. Thank you for your clarity. You NAILED it. This is truly useful to me as I think the only way to alert my fellow mom friends and acquaintances to this sinister ideology is through the sports and Title IX angle.
Hello there! I had not read your comment here when I wrote the next post starring Alison Wade, but a friend noted I had taken over your turf (terf?) in doing so. Notwithstanding crimes like Wade's self-debasement, I still find plenty to enjoy about women's running and women's sports in general. I hope that someday soon I'll actually be able to write nice profiles on amazing female athletes. Ahh well crap, even as I wrote that I realized that ship has sailed. I can't un-know the utter misogyny that underpins this ideology.

Yes, thank you.
