Grace, a soccer and softball player, spoke out in front of the Supreme Court on Tuesday as the justices heard arguments about whether federal anti-discrimination laws should apply to “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”
...
“I believed that when they told me if I worked hard enough, I could do anything,” she said to the crowds, “that being a girl isn’t a limitation, that if she believes she can, she will.”
Soccer, Grace said, “taught me discipline, the rewards that come with a hard work ethic, and, most importantly, it’s taught me what leadership looks like.”
But, Grace added that, after spending hours of training and practice and giving up social activities in order to compete with other top-level athletes, “You make it to the field and you see a high school boy across from you. Not as a coach, not as an assistant, but as a player.”
“It’s confusing,” she asserted. “Your entire team’s focus and motivation is lost and defeated before you even start.”
Grace said that her team’s spirit of “Yes, we can!” was quickly replaced by “Why try?”
Some nutcase also called her a homophobe.
This is 21st Century America. No boundaries... no borders... no limits... unless you are conservative. Grace just needs to understand that it's over for her and sports.
I hope these girls remember this when they reach voting age.
We can hope so, but the indoctrination they go through, from School to peer pressure is quite thorough. If they don't think that any man can become a woman and play in women's sports by she 12 she will be ostracized and declared a Conservative.
Why on Earth are they hearing cases about high school sports? Surely there are more pressing issues for them to deal with than HS softball.
This is an issue for the individual sanctioning bodies/leagues/conferences/whatever. I think that transwomen should absolutely NOT be allowed to participate in female sports. At the same time, I also don't think transmen should be forced to compete in female sports, like that state champion wrestler in TX. He wanted to wrestle on the boys team, he was forced to wrestle on the girls team where his hormone therapy obviously gave him an advantage the other wrestlers didn't have.

Surely the ramifications go beyond high school sports.
She will not be able to take the firestorm of blowback from the trans activists. I do not blame her. I would not be shocked if she has a hard time getting into any college worth a darn.
