Males and Females

At 76 years of age, I am sure that many people younger than me would consider my thoughts OLD FASHIONED, even if I told you that I used to be a Hippie with hair below my shoulders and attended the music festival at Woodstock...

One of my strongest beliefs is that our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT should not tell us what to do with our bodies, how we should think, or when we should act based upon our beliefs.  An example of this is that I believe a female has the right to have an abortion and if she does it is the business of no one else.

Consequently, I am not opposed to males wanting to be females nor am I opposed to females wanting to be males.

With that said, just because you make the transition from male to female does not make you a female and just because you make the transition from female to male does not make you a male.

THEREFORE...  and obviously this is my opinion, males who have become females should not be allowed to participate in female sports because their biological body is still a male and has a stronger muscle and bone structure than REAL females have.

A solution would be to a third category of competition in sports perhaps called TRANSGENDERED where those who have made the transformation would compete against only those who also had made the transformation.

Is this fair or equitable?

It seems like to me it is but I am only one person.

However, we all know that equity in athletics is damn near impossible to achieve since there will always be people like MICHAEL JORDAN who were born with special talents that very few, if any, will be able to match.
