But then again, there is a store down the street from me that lawfully sells marijuana for recreational use, and that's also something that I thought I'd never live to see.
It's a strange new world out there...no doubt about that.

I would venture the only female college sports that are profitable are the top 10 ones in basketball, if that.

Certainly it is insane - and would result in fiscal destruction for any school - but it would solve the problem.

I'm thinking the next logical phase to Gender Identity is Age Identity. One day, 13-y.o. Johnny, who is mediocre at best in his age group in sports, will come home and tell his mommy and daddy that he now identifies as 9-y.o. His pesky, persistent problem of mediocrity is instantly solved.

What's never addressed and a definite no-no, is the disorder that makes such people take this avenue. I'm sure there is discussion in various medical journals (if they haven't all been torched), but who's got the balls to pursue the condition further and publicly announce any findings?
Like discussions on race issues...you just don't go there I suppose.

This problem will self-correct in time. Hopefully sooner rather than later. And it will be women who correct it. JMHO.

So they have people changing law specifically for everyone but, and it matters not what the but is. They are putting a marijuana shop at the other end of my street so I am not as optimistic as the next guy.

I think it is a fear of discrimination lawsuits. That is really all I can think of. This is a situation where it may take a while for legislation to catch up, if it ever does catch up.

OK I can see what you are saying, so because of it how confidant are you that our response will be properly measured or we will even see it coming?
