"Grow out your hair," they said.
"You could make a phenomenal female athlete," they said.
And they were right. Well, at least by modern leftist standards.
Cuz look at this:
Oh, sorry, libs, "big girl." That's what you're supposed to say when a boy grows his hair out, changes his name to Rose, and dominates a girls' sport, right?
Just checking.
Yes, "Rose" won second place in the conference championships for shot put, so now, somewhere in the state of Connecticut, there is a real girl who has missed out on the state championship. Might not seem like a huge deal to the sympathetic libs, but hey, they don't really do that whole feminism thing anymore, do they?
"Rose" is now 3rd for girls' shot put in the state, but I'm sure he'll be #1 in no time with those muscles!
I did a little digging, and it looks like Old Saybrook's girls' track team made the local news back in April.
The Old Saybrook High School Track and Field team has been in the spotlight ever since an article published last month in a local newspaper started circulating on the internet.
The article featured a picture of the girls track and field team, which revealed the presence of a transgender student on the team.
Here's that photo:
Word quickly spread about the issues that had existed inside the girls locker room as a result.
Girls who identify as "biological girls" and who were born female felt unsafe with the presence of an athlete who was born a male inside the same locker room, especially considering the size differential.
The biological girls were forced to huddle in a corner of the locker room so they could change clothes with at least a modicum of privacy, hoping to remain out of view of the student who was born a biological boy.
Biological girls in this situation often experience psychological issues, feelings of embarrassment, and even feel fearful about joining a team in the first place, especially knowing that a biological boy may be watching them change in the locker room.
Bottom line, the biological girls no longer felt safe in their own space.
Wow, how progressive is that?!?!
And it's baked into the cake in the school district, too.
However, the Board Policy that addresses this particular issue - the 500 Series Non-Discrimination - specifically includes "gender identity or expression" as a protected class, along with other protected classes based on attributes like race, color, age, sex, religion, and so forth.
The policy prohibits discrimination or harassment in educational programs or activities, including athletics, against any protected class. That includes transgender students. It should also, in theory, include biological female students as a protected class, too.
Same thing at the state level:
Connecticut law requires Connecticut public schools to provide all students with an equal opportunity to participate in courses of studies as well as in school activities and programs, both curricular and extracurricular, without discrimination on account of ‘race . . . color, sex, gender identity or expression, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or disability'
