While you are imagining, how about a group of girls playing tackle football with the big boys and getting hurt? Or yelling, "HE touched me inappropriately when he tackled me! He's a pervert!"
Oh, the scenarios are nearly endless!
But then, I went to school with a milk-and-beef-fed farm girl that definitely COULD have played football, and would have scared the pants off most high school boys, but she wasn't interested.

This isn't much of an issue for girls who identify as guys. Few will be good enough to make a boy's team; those who do, let them. I know there are girls on boys wrestling teams.

The issue is boys who identify as girls and could, for example, dominate a basketball team.

And it's not fair to the boys. No matter how many times you tell them that you can grab her around the chest they aren't going to do it.

Lets just abolish gender-specific athletics. Each high school has a football team, a basketball team, a volleyball team, etc. Whoever is best, regardless of gender, makes the team. That's equality, right?

This pandering to gender-identity has gotten completely out of hand. It doesn't matter what organs you have or what gender you feel you are, its your genetics that determine what you are and who you should be competing against.

No it isn't. Then the females don't get the experience of playing team sports that the boys would get. Sure, you may get the rare girl that makes the team but it is still a good way for an athletic young woman to get a scholarship to further her education.

Meh. We had a girl on our wrestling team and she was by no means flat chested and it wasn't an issue.

She was wrapped up pretty tightly and it was less notable than some of the chubby heavyweights etc.

If you are squeemish about touching a girls breast area then ooooooh boy wait until you wrestle guys and wind up accidentally mashing him in the junk with your forehead on a takedown lol. Best to just play other sports if that stuff bothers you.
