Propose Eliminating Girls’ and Women’s Sports
Is this idea too nuts because some wacko place might actually adopt it?
I am seeing more frequent stories about males (boys and men) – many of whom competed as males in male sports – choosing to compete in female sports. Their defenders tell us that not allowing that is “unfair” (to the male who wants to compete as a female; no discussion of fairness to the displaced females allowed). How about we test their seriousness by proposing to eliminate the separate categories for girls’ and women’s sports? Rather than having males compete somewhat subtly against females, let’s bring it out into the open.
