"Women’s opportunities for competitive physical activity were limited in America until Federal Legislation, commonly referred to as Title IX, became law. It required American society to recognize a woman’s right to participate in sports on a plane equal to that of men. Prior to 1870, activities for women were recreational rather than sport-specific in nature. They were noncompetitive, informal, rule-less; they emphasized physical activity rather than competition. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, women began to form clubs that were athletic in nature. Efforts to limit women’s sport activity continued as they became more involved in competitive sports. This paper will present a history of women’s involvement in sport prior to the federal legislation enacted to eliminate sexual discrimination in education and sport."Slimshandy wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 3:38 pmWhy do they separate men’s sports from women’s sports?

Mitchel fails to mention that she ended up defeating the two transgender runners and received a NCAA scholarship to William & Mary while the two other runners were not offered a scholarship.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 3:22 pmhttps://www.newsweek.com/women-sport-tr ... es-1810782WellPreserved wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 3:07 pmCan you cite an example of this happening?Slimshandy wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 2:53 pm
This isn’t fear mongering…it’s fairness in sports.
Women who have spent their entire lives training in a specific sport and become the best out of those women shouldn’t have to lose scholarships because a person that used to be a man is physically bigger, stronger and faster.
Twenty-seven times during my high school career, all four years, I had to return to the line and settle into blocks next to first one, then two biologically male athletes to run a race that everyone knew wasn't fair.
I lost podium spots, awards, recognition, and four state championship titles during my junior year—the time when it was most crucial for college recruitment.

This has resulted in their school records being eclipsed as well as the loss of scholarships and state championships.

Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, and Ashley Nicoletti — all likewise have been denied medals, placements or advancement opportunities because of the male athletes competing in our events.
To date, a NCAA scholarship has not been offered to a transgender athlete so they are not taking away scholarships from cis-gender women.

The NCAA athlete's concerns come as a Division 1 school – The University of Washington – reportedly awarded a women's volleyball scholarship to 17-year-old transgender athlete Tate Drageset.
Riley Gaines, who has been outspoken on the issue of allowing biological males to participate in women's sports, accused Drageset of "stealing the already few opportunities for women at the collegiate level" in a fiery X post last Wednesday.
The university reportedly rescinded the scholarship after backlash, according to LGBTQ+ news outlet LGBTQ+ Nation.

Seeing the title of this thread I actually thought Arkansas might have enacted restricted gun access to prevent DV victims being killed by their abusers. Especially since Arkansas is among the states where a woman is most likely to be murdered by her partner.
But no, the protection is to halt the less than .05% of trans students playing sports.

https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-la ... -arkansas/Arkansas law does not:
Prohibit individuals convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors from possessing firearms or ammunition (unlike federal law);
Prohibit individuals subject to domestic violence protective orders from possessing firearms or ammunition (unlike federal law);
Require the surrender of firearms or ammunition by people who have become prohibited from possessing them due to domestic violence under state or federal law ; or
Explicitly authorize or require the removal of firearms or ammunition at the scene of a domestic violence incident.

This does nothing to actually protect women from anything.

Because men have historically been elitist pricks that want to keep women out of sports in general to protect their own fragile egos and even tried to frame sports as being harmful to women's "fertility" to keep women from competing.Slimshandy wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 3:38 pmWhy do they separate men’s sports from women’s sports?
