Historically women have been banned from nearly all sporting events. Only men could compete. Men were also paid vastly more than women in events women were allowed in, even if women drew as many or more spectators. Title IX in 1972 changed this. "Subsequent to Title IX, women and girls have become much more involved in sports. College women’s athletic participation has increased from 15% in 1972 to 43% in 2001. High school girl’s athletic participation increased from 295,000 in 1971 to 2.8 million in 2002-2003, an increase of over 840%. In 2004, the average number of teams offered for females per college/university was 8.32, up from 2.50 per school in 1972 (Carpenter & Acosta, 2005). In 1981-82, women’s championships became a part of the NCAA program. Today, the NCAA sponsors forty women’s championships, thirty-eight men’s championships, and three combined championships in all three of its divisions (NCAA, 2005)." http://thesportjournal.org/article/a-history-of-women-in-sport-prior-to-title-ix/ It was not until 2012 that women were allowed to compete in all Olympic events. The Olympics does not fall under Title IX. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_at_the_Olympics However, the Olympics committee consists of 110 men and 24 women, with their medical/psychological advisor being a male transwoman. The committee voted that men can compete in all women's events if he is using hormones - authorizing such men to do so. It also voted that women may compete in men's events, but strictly prohibits women from using hormones to do so. This year, the US Department of Justice ruled that all schools must allow boys to compete on any girls team and event.It is NOT required that the boy establish he is transgender. He merely has to sign a statement that he wants to complete in girls events and play on the girls' teams. He also can demand being allowed to sleep with girls on overnight field trips - the girls have no say nor the girl's parents - and can demand to shower with the girls and use the girls locker room and bathroom merely by signing that he wants to. There are many events where regardless of hormone levels males have inherent advantage over females. In short, the ultimate winners will always be males no matter how much effort any female puts into it. Should any female send years and thousands of hours of effort for events she knows that she literally cannot win because she was born a female? Hasn't Title IX effectively been erased for biological female on behalf of biological males by regulations and laws made by biological males? To become a world class #1 professional athlete takes years of intense effort - setting aside then other pursuits and career goals - thousands to tens of thousands of hours of effort. Now a female can spend a decade in pursuit of a professional athletic career only to find it all laid to waste and nothingness because a male merely says he wants to compete as a girl. In addition, the public no longer will be able to watch competitions solely between females as that is also being fully outlawed by male Democrats in the USA and male and male sports directors and male sports corporation CEOs internationally. Should females accept they have been effectively banned from having any real future in sports and athletict has as a career because it has been declared in the USA and at the Olympic level that there no longer really are women's events and women's teams per decisions, regulations and laws made by males for males against females?
Sorry there is no poll, the software loaded the OP while I was literally writing out the poll answers.
http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-201605-title-ix-transgender.pdf There is no obligation for a student to present a specific medical diagnosis or identification documents that reflect his or her gender identity. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...nder-students-use-bathrooms-their-choice.html Secret from parents: See first one above and http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oese/oshs/emergingpractices.pdf
The sources you site appear to say that it is based on gender self identification. Therefore, if one identifies him/herself as female she has a right to that type of accommodation. The reverse is true for males. It does not give a blanket open door policy for anyone to just use the other gender's bathrooms.
You didn't read it carefully. There is no guideline or standard whatsoever as to what "identifies him/herself as female." Instead, setting any standard made by anyone, nrequirement he be on testosterone inhibitors, no requirement that he act, look or want to be identified as female by others, nor may parents be informed. Any boy may write one sentence of "I identify as female" and automatically he must be allowed in all female athletics, the female shower, female locker room. the girl's bathroom and in motel rooms overnight with female, nor can other students be informed he gave this. He can in all ways still continue to be "Steve" and act and be "male" in all regards to others, snickering about it - and school can not even inform any students or the girls even any of his allowed with girls is because he claimed to identify as female. Nor may any student, adult in the school or staff ask him or anyone else why he's on the girl's track team or without-notice put into a bed with a female cheerleader on an overnight trip - nor may that female cheerleader be given any advance notice. This is new and the word is just now starting to get out in schools how this works.
