Follow the science!  Biological men (XY's) have more muscle mass than women (XX's): they also have more fast-twitch muscles, broader shoulders, more lung capacity, and their red blood cells carry more oxygen.  I could go on and on. Biological men can not be allowed to compete against biological women.  I am a 79 year old athlete who was unable to experience playing sport in either high school or university back in the 60's.  No sport was offered to girls/women at that time.  Fortunately, in 1972 Title IX passed and gave girls and women an opportunity to compete.  Now, these opportunities are in danger of being taken away.

I have competed for over 25 years in the National Senior Games and the World Senior Games, both in basketball and track.  Even at my age I have had to compete against biological men on the basketball court; this is both unfair and dangerous!!!  Many of us older women have waited 50 years to have these opportunities.  Please consider extending this petition to cover senior women who compete annually at the VA  Senior Games.
