Imagine the lawsuits involved when a Transgender player turns on one or drives one back into the pitcher.

Most states have a law against this, interesting what they allow and do not allow.

I think it was here last year, I think in NY, that they allowed a boy to play on the girls VB Team. They put him through a physical and basically decided he sucked so he could do what he wanted.

Wasn't sure what to make out of the whole thing.

I fear that this is an unfortunate and sad sign of what is to come:

Transgender Boy Competes in Girls High School Championship

There are really some unintended consequences of this transgender stuff. Women have fought for years to have the same opportunities as men in athletics and now the potential risk that the progress is thrown away so that males who feel like women can participate in female sports. It's absurd.

Old news. Renee Richards broke that barrier 40 years ago.

This is a bit different. Renee Richards was a never was as a mens player who did not do much more in the womens game. Claim to fame was a novelty, not an athlete. What is happening today is much broader in scope, with the potential to wreak havoc on womens sports.
