Opposition to males in female sports
 

As a teacher, mother, and grandmother I am in total opposition to trans athletes. Due to biological differences inherent from inception, males are physically stronger than females. Therefore, males playing a sport with females are capable of seriously injuring them and also preventing the females from winning. Not winning may mean not getting the athlete scholarship that the female player worked so hard to obtain or even staying in the sport they love due to tge very real and ever present threat of physical injury. In addition, females should not be exposed to male body parts in the locker room nor should the females have to undress in front of males. There is no place for a male athlete in a woman’s sport. All males are free to try out for and obtain a place on a team for their own gender. Women should be respected and not replaced in the world of sports. Thank you for protecting our female athletes.
