We were college athletes. Supreme Court must listen to our case and save women’s sports

Supreme Court to decide women's sports protections Jan. 13 as study shows over 600 female athletes lost competitions to transgender competitors.

Seemingly overnight, our country’s athletic leaders decided that men could be women, that men had every right to compete in women’s sports, and that physical differences were irrelevant, DNA was unimportant and anyone could be anything they wanted to be. Throw natural law to the wind. Madison Kenyon is a former athlete at Idaho State University who intervened in defense of Idaho’s Fairness for Women in Sports Act being challenged in Hecox v. Little.

If that sounds ridiculous to you, imagine how female athletes have felt in recent years, having to compete against males just because they’ve been told that feeling like a woman can make them so. 

Their make-believe is our hard reality. And some of us have empty spaces on our trophy shelves to prove it.
