OPINION:
News article after news article discusses the problem of males with gender confusion participating in sporting events against women athletes (“’Dispiriting’: Track star’s dream dashed by transgender rules,” Web, March 14). It seems we live in an upside-down world.
While I tend to believe there are two genders and we are born one or the other, if we must cave to the “woke” stupidity that people can “change genders” because they identify differently, then let’s create an entirely new category of sporting event. We can have men’s sports, women’s sports and trans sports. That way people who believe they are not the gender they were born will have a place to compete in sporting events without harming or disadvantaging people who are real men or women. Trans “females” and trans “males” can compete against each other in trans races or other trans competitions. That would be fair to all. Problems solved.
