No brainer- keep males out of women’s sports
 

The modern invention of feelings driving culture is one that has to stop. This is about decency and common sense. I am the mom of two elementary school girls. There is absolutely no way I would ever want my girls in a situation where they could see a penis or be seen simply because someone can’t distinguish between feelings and physical anatomy. Keep boys out of my girls’ locker rooms. Keep them in their own dorms and shared overnight accommodations (school sponsored trips and other activities).  It is absolutely insane that we would put our girls in vulnerable positions in efforts to validate feelings of a few. 

It’s also taking away opportunities from women to win since males have physical advantages. When was the last time you hear that a men’s competition was won by a woman who thought she was a man?  Has this even happened? So this is a one-sided game changer for men to dominate in women’s sports. 

and again the hypocrisy of this feelings-driven culture. I can’t feel Black or Asian or Hispanic, but I can feel and dress or have body parts altered and therefore be the opposite gender or make something up to call myself and demand others to acknowledge it?  This MAKES NO SENSE!
