Men returning women to sidelines of sports
Fox News
A new generation of women and girls are facing the same challenges I did, only with a twist: They are losing their best athletic opportunities to men who identify as women.
Suddenly, it’s 1968 again, with more and more women athletes finding themselves back on the bench, cheering on males. Or pretending to do so.
In 1972, the American Civil Liberties Union represented me in a lawsuit against the Illinois High School Association, arguing that, if there were no girls’ team at a school, a girl should be allowed to compete for a spot on the boys’ team. In the district judge’s ruling against us, he agreed that separate teams for girls should exist but also found that allowing girls on boys’ teams wouldn’t be fair due to the glaring biological differences between the sexes.
