There are obvious physical differences between men and women that affect their athletic performances. That’s why male and female athletes are placed in separate divisions and teams and judged by different standards. These standards guarantee that everyone is given a chance to compete — but in a fair way.

Gender ideologues are trying to gut athletics of these differences by allowing so-called “gender identity,” rather than biological sex, to dictate how athletes are divvied up. The most egregious example of this was male swimmer Lia Thomas’s participation in the NCAA women’s swimming championship. A less offensive but equally as idiotic example is the Boston Marathon’s decision to create a new category for “non-binary” runners.
