"About two years ago, the transgender movement started becoming more and more popular," she continued. "I was never affected by it until last year. I started to think, 'this can't be right.' All my teammates are working so hard to get beat by this boy… This made me feel like I had to do something not just for myself, but for girls everywhere."

"What I would love for the ACLU to have seen is what I saw after our last track meet," Salerno said. "[One of my teammates] was walking up the hill, and we can tell something is wrong. My dad went and hugged her, and she said, in tears, ‘He beat me. It's just not fair.' "It wasn't the losing that upset her, because the girl that won first place is also one of our friends. What upset her was the fact that she lost second place to a boy. That's what the ACLU needs to see."

Okay, I'll give the girl credit for exhibiting a principle instead of self interest.

Unfortunately Riley Gaines manages to point out the truth

The argument we hear all the time is that the stance that we are taking is ‘anti-trans,’" Gaines said. "How in the world could you hear Emmy … and call her ‘anti-trans’? This is not a matter of being hateful. "This is a matter of being pro-fairness. This is a matter of being pro-reality, pro-common sense, pro-safety, and pro-transparency. It is a matter of being pro-woman. And Emmy embodies that. All of these girls embody that perfectly."

Yeah, Gaines is certainly in the Rowling feminism camp. Hopefully that doesn't spread to the kids.
And I won't discredit your assumption too much. It's an age thing. Middle and some high school kids can be quite bold at times before social pressures ultimately set their personal limitations.

I'm happily glad to be wrong about it. I've seen this play out before and assumed it would here. I hope the girl is able to stand by her principles.

About two years ago, the intellectualism movement started becoming more and more popular," she continued. "I was never affected by it until last year. I started to think, 'this can't be right.' All my teammates are working so hard to get beat by this smarter person… This made me feel like I had to do something not just for myself, but for retards everywhere."

There is no argument, title IX is oppressive by its very nature. “Separate but lesser” is not a good argument.

Until the west can accept that men and women really are different and cope with it, we will still default to the faulty status quo.
