If something is a social construct, it doesn’t exist unless society agrees that it does. Which, in reality is just a fancy way of saying something doesn’t exist.
In this new world of “fake news” on one side and people choosing their own adventure and ignoring discernible facts as to their sex and what that means on the other, objective truth must win out in the end, as it always has, even if it’s not always immediate.
Sex, male, female, or sometimes intersex, is all that is relevant. Gender doesn’t even matter when it comes to sport. But too many get caught up in their “feelings” and their personal biases as to how they want the world to be, instead of accepting the world as it is and responding and living accordingly.
High school coach here, just a reminder that this is not the kid's fault. It's the people who make the rules that have completely dropped the ball here. We all know this is unfair, but the adults in charge don't want to face a difficult decision. The kid competed within the rules.
I think it would be great if the people tweeting about this, and everyone on this website did their best not to post the name of the kid. We know how the internet works, and kids don't deserve to get the online hate that comes their way just by competing within the current rules. Instead, replace the kids name with the names of the adults who determine the state sports participation rules. They're the ones who deserve heat for this, not some young athlete who's been put in an awful situation while the administrators hid in the background.
Hey look, there's a board of adults who get paid to "lead"

You sound unfamiliar with how society works. It exists for those who believe it. All that matters is what government and law and powerful corporations and sporting regulatory bodies say and they are recognize transgender females. It doesn’t matter what some anonymouse on an incelforum believes or doesn’t believe.
Sex is hardly relevant to sport. I’ve never seen anyone have sex or give birth or otherwise use their chromosomes or gametes on the track or field. You seem to be confusing sex with athletic performance, which a lot of stupids do.

Biological gender directly correlates to athletic performance. Every single world record on the male side is significantly superior to the female world record. Go spend an hour at literally any high school track meet, and then try to argue the point with a straight face.

It’s not belief at all. It’s about facts. You’re one of the people that keeps trying to take this whole discussion into make-believe land.

Sounds like you are not disagreeing with anything I actually said, just aggressively rambling peripheral thoughts that no one actually disputes.

The kid could have run in the boy’s race. Pretending to be a girl was their decision. An honest trans girl would admit they are actually a boy. That’s what “trans” means.

You are the one pretending and wrong about what trans means. She ran following all the rules. You are just creepily getting upset about some kids that don’t even know you.
Yet the fastest women to ever live, even when they are doped-to-the-gills world record holders, could almost never, in any year, win the State Meet in Texas or California for boys.

Are you just so stupid so as to believe that I believe something I never said and explicitly even said things to the contrary right on this page?
Do you need to go to reading school?🏫
Autism it is.
Don't engage with this person (quickle, wickle, pickle; he uses all sorts of names). He's either a troll, has a personality disorder, etc. All he does is call people names and deflect criticism. There's really no point.

Wonder why that is?
Yeah, I wonder why that is.
1. Is it because the boy has Y chromosome and the girl does not?
2. Is it because the boy has testes and the girl has ovary?
3. Is it because the boy was p**** and the girl has v*****?
4. Is it because the boy has had higher level of testosterone than the girl since puberty?
5. Is it because the boy and the girl have different phenotypes?

Oh no, I’m devastated by your unceasing attempts to ostracize me. How do you like the name Gaseous Dyspepsia btw? Or Gaseous Diploma?

Interesting to see that the poster who goes by quickle/ prickle/fickle and other names has moved on from the standard ad hominem attacks, appeals to authority and peurile, petulant cries of "nyah, nyah, nyah" that he’s known for and has now graduated to balling up his fists, thumping his chest and simply asserting that “might makes right.” Yikes.
Everyone who's followed this debate on LRC in recent years is used to seeing posters like quickle defend their male-supremacist position about blokes in female sports and spaces by frequently harrumphing that an array of powerful institutions, corporations, bigwigs and everybody else they think is anybody all agree with them that males who say they have special gender identities are entitled to new forms of male privilege that no one else of the male sex class gets.
These posters repeatedly assert that the tenets of gender identity ideology are "settled science" and the matter of males being able to use gender identity claims to muscle in on female sports is all done and dusted. They tell us that all good, right-thinking, "progressive" minded people today are in agreement that blokes who say they have special gender identities must be given free rein to intrude upon, lord it over and stick it to females in sports, locker rooms and other spheres of life - and anyone who thinks this is unfair is a bigot, hater, phobe, imbecile and/or right-wing reactionary with backwards ideas.
These posters also repeatedly remind us that the bright lights and big brains in charge (most of them men) in institutions like the IOC, WA, NCAA, state scholastic sports commissions, the Biden Departments of Education and Justice, local school districts etc have seen fit to put sports policies, regulations and laws in place that say girls' and women's hard-won rights to fairness, safety and equal opportunity must now take a back seat to the demands of boys and men who say they have special gender identities - and they tell us, this for the "greater good."
They further assure us that these policies are now set in stone, so realistically speaking, there's nothing to be done about them - boys and men being given free rein to use gender identity claims to compete in female sports is the new normal, and girls and women and those who care about us - or about fairness as a principle - just better get used to it.
But the new position asserted by quickle that "society only exists for the believers" - skeptics, agnostics, heretics, infidels and all other unbelievers be damned - really takes the cake for audacity. And frightening lunacy.
The claim that “society exists for those who believe” in the same ideology as the elites in power - and nobody else matters- is straight out of the script followed by tyrants and totalitarians since time immemorial.
Given that most governments, legal institutions, powerful corporations and sports governing bodies in the world today are still run predominantly by men - and even in Western democracies and republics, men still play a disproportionately outsized role in making the rules in sports and all other spheres of life - the declaration that “society exists for those who believe” in the same ideology as the big guns, big swinging dcks and other head honchos in charge also sounds an awful lot like the sort of stuff said by the Taliban in Afghanistan, the mullahs in Iran, fundamentalist Christian religious authoritarians like the FLDS patriarch Warren Jeffs, and a whole host of other incredibly misogynistic men like Andrew Tate.

Sorry guys, I realised that I've been wasting everybody's time and energy. In truth, I've not got a lot going on in my life so I like to mess with the boards as it felt like it had some sort of purpose for me. Truth is, I've been struggling with my own identity and thought if I could convince all of you guys, I might be able to convince myself. I'm kinda lonely in real life. I'm sincerely sorry for the abuse and the names, and the constant seeking of attention and approval. I will do better.
Mods, the above post is impersonation. Maybe by one of the mods or the Jo’s.
