Title IX is an Obsolete Relic
June, the "Female" athlete, is competing at a lower tier D1 school. I've said it before, how long before some irrelevant lower tier school decides to become a national player in women's sports by fielding an all male-to-female transgendered basketball or softball team? Hormone suppression might lower the competitive advantage slightly, but you can't eliminate height and weight advantages.
Quote:A biologically male runner in the NCAA’s top division is competing in women’s cross country this fall.
June Eastwood, who identifies as a transgender woman, will represent the University of Montana at a cross country meet Saturday.
“Our goal is to be supportive of all student-athletes. I understand there will be varying opinions,” university athletic director Kent Haslam told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email. “We have followed the NCAA bylaws and policies in place when it comes to inclusion of transgender student-athletes and participation in intercollegiate athletic competition.”
“I am not in a position to know if June will gain an unfair advantage. It is not my area of expertise and therefore we rely on the policies as set by the NCAA,” Haslam added.
NCAA policy requires male runners who identify as transgender women to suppress testosterone levels for a full calendar year before competing in women’s athletics. The NCAA published an explainer in 2011 calling it “not well founded” to assume “that being born with a male body automatically gives a transgender woman an unfair advantage when competing against non-transgender women.”

I'm just waiting for that swift condemnation from God on our sinfulness. Because brother that's exactly what it is.

It would be hard to do in volleyball. With those tight short shorts the bulge would be very noticeable and who knows there might be an accident or two.
Tulane, Redwing and Tommie would be avid spectators to that. Ha, ha.
