   Next week the Supreme Court faces a once-in-a-generation decision point   
   for women.   
      
   On Tuesday, the justices will hear oral arguments in two pivotal cases on   
   the future of women’s sports, the most visible current battleground for   
   sex-based rights.   
      
   The question before the court is simple: Can states protect women’s rights   
   based on sex?   
      
   Or does gender identity trump sex — and override the intent of Title IX?   
      
   In the two cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., male   
   athletes who identify as female are challenging state laws that bar   
   biological men and boys from competing in girls’ and women’s school   
   sports.   
      
   Men have clear physiological advantages: They are faster and stronger than   
   women, no matter how many wrong-sex hormones they ingest.   
      
   Letting gender identity override sex is not progress, as ideologues claim.   
      
   It pushes women backward — to a time before women’s sports existed at all,   
   when girls like me would never have had the chance to compete.   
      
   I started gymnastics in 1974, just two years after the federal government   
   enacted Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in sports; I went on   
   to become a seven-time national team member and the 1986 National   
   Champion, fighting back from brutal injuries to do it.   
      
   I never quit — but had I been forced to compete on an unfair playing   
   field, against boys, I’m not sure I would have persevered.   
      
   Why train, sacrifice and risk your body if the deck is stacked against you   
   from the start?   
      
   A generation of young female athletes has experienced this stacked deck,   
   and it has galvanized them.   
      
   Since 12-time All-American swimmer Riley Gaines spoke up in 2022,  others   
   have followed.   
      
   Frances Staudt, a 16-year-old basketball player in Washington state, is   
   facing a federal civil-rights complaint for refusing to play against a   
   team with a boy on it.   
      
   High-school runners Adaleia Cross and Emmy Salerno stepped forward to   
   accuse the boy at the heart of the West Virginia case of locker-room   
   sexual harassment.   
      
   This movement is being built from the ground up by female athletes who   
   know exactly what’s at stake: There is no quit in them.   
      
   Even if the court rules in favor of biologically based athletics, it may   
   not mandate uniform action nationwide.   
      
   While 27 states restrict male participation in women’s sports, blue states   
   from California to Maine are doubling down — even as public support for   
   sex-based categories grows.   
      
   A pro-protection ruling will reinforce these cultural gains.   
      
   And it will encourage women whose fears of backlash keep them silent to   
   finally speak up.   
      
   To date, fewer than five currently competing female professional athletes   
   have publicly defended women’s sports.   
      
   Who can blame them, after seeing Elizabeth Eddy, a professional soccer   
   player with Angel City FC, get smeared by her own league  after pleading   
   for common-sense gender standards in her sport.   
      
   But leagues cannot shut down debate forever and expect female athletes to   
   continue to pay the price.   
      
   The tide is turning: Most major sport governing bodies, including the US   
   Olympic Committee and the NCAA, revised their rules last year following   
   President Donald Trump’s executive order barring male athletes from   
   women’s competition.   
      
   In December, rap queen Nicki Minaj declared “there’s nothing wrong with   
   being a boy” — then explained why she was done denying biological reality:   
   “I just got tired of being pushed around.”   
      
   Aryna Sabalenka, the world’s No. 1 women’s tennis player, said it’s “just   
   not fair to women” for males to compete in women’s sports.   
      
   She proved it last month when she lost her “Battle of the Sexes” match   
   against Nick Kyrgios, the 671st-ranked male player, despite rule   
   adjustments intended to make the match more competitive.   
      
   Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham echoed the point in November, noting   
   that a top team of eighth-grade boys could beat a WNBA team.   
      
   “If you put them up against females, yeah, they’re gonna win,” she told a   
   podcaster. “I just don’t think that’s a fair matchup.”   
      
   This is not celebrity chatter. The cultural winds are changing.   
      
   And the momentum is undeniable.   
      
   Global revenue for women’s athletics surged to $1.88 billion in 2024 and   
   is projected to reach $2.35 billion in 2026, driven by stars like Caitlin   
   Clark and record-breaking attendance across multiple sports, while TV   
   viewership has climbed.   
      
   Will that momentum continue? Yes — if protections are upheld.   
      
   Clear rules based on sex will strengthen trust, boost investment and   
   encourage participation.   
      
   This Supreme Court moment is not isolated — but it is momentous.   
      
   The court will determine whether the United States prioritizes women’s   
   rights over men’s feelings, and whether biological reality still matters   
   in law.   
      
   Upholding protections would cement a cultural consensus grounded in truth   
   and fairness, ensuring women’s sports — and women’s rights — endure.

   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
