The idea of inclusion for everyone, despite the consequences, has wreaked havoc across girls and women's sports leagues all through America.
It has no longer become just an opinion that boys pretending to be girls should not be playing sports against girls, but there is now mounting evidence of the damage such decisions can have. In the face of those who applaud men playing against women, the athletes' literal faces have become the rallying cry to end this absurdity.
There are a number of times where girls are being injured and not reported, but the times we have tangible evidence is tough to watch. The mismatch and uneven playing field is something of a bad movie, yet you don't hear feminists calling for its end.
One of the more famous cases came in Massachusetts where there was a game between the Collegiate Charter School of Lowell and KIPP Academy in Lynn. A six foot tall male player, who was allowed to be on the girls team because he called himself trans, injured multiple players in the game with the aggressive style and overwhelming size advantage he had. The player, donned with facial hair, injured so many of the girls that the Collegiate Charter School was forced to forfeit the game. While that story is enough to make you cringe there is video of the incident. The player ripping the ball away, and the eventual injuries to the girls around him.
There was no media crying out to help the girls, no feminist movement protesting to protect the young women and no one seemed up in arms enough to stop the lunacy that allowed this.
That is not an isolated incident though. Again in Massachusetts a male playing a female sport knocked out a young lady's teeth when he threw a ball at her in a field hockey game. We watched a woman literally get her face punched in by a man during a boxing match last year, and there were crickets.
Payton McNabb became famous when she was knocked unconscious by a man who spiked a ball at her head and face during a volleyball game in North Carolina. McNabb now has permanent damage to her face and brain damage because they allowed a man to play against her.
What's worse is even with these tangible injuries the problem has fallen on deaf ears. When McNabb wrote to Democrat lawmakers on X for denying the harm that trans women cause in sports. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington, responded during a House Judiciary Committee saying "it is a tiny portion of people across the country that identify as trans, and not a single one of them is doing anything to harm you or your family." "Stop it, we have better things to do in Congress," she said.
Women being injured by men in sports is not just an American problem either; a high school ruby league in Guam watched three women be injured when a trans athlete was allowed to play against them. Head coach Conrad Kerber said “Body size, body strength and the ability to apply force with that size and strength completely dominate any girl that I have on my team,” “The aggressive nature that was witnessed clearly showed that it’s a definite issue that we have to deal with.” But, who will be the one to deal with this?
Injuries like these are now becoming the norm. Ever since Education Secretary Miguel Cordona’s illegal interpretation of “sex” in Title IX to also include “gender identity or expression" we have watched more men pretending to be female take to the courts, fields, ice and arenas to compete against women.
Intrinsically sports will always have the threat of being hurt while competing, it's part of the game, but for the same reasons sports governing bodies are very careful not to allow upper age kids play against younger opponents, or regulators are strict for weight classes being adhered to, this must be controlled to protect the athletes.
Incident after incident has been countered with the notion that it's only a small number of situations so basically 'deal with it'. The question is how many more girls need to be hurt, or how seriously injured does someone need to be, before lawmakers come to their senses and do the obvious? Instead, many states are opening up the ability to allow this to happen even more, leaving many to wonder who will protect the young women of America?
