"Gay Rights Shouldn't Include Boys Cheating at Sports"

That is a direct quote from a 16 year old female lacrosse player. Do I have her permission to use her name? I do not. Mom said if I used her kid's name, she would sue me.
Why is Mom so guarded for her kid's privacy?
Over at the USA Today, Nancy Armour, the paper's head sports propagandist, was just hammering on Donald Trump. Her issue with Trump? He erased Gay Pride Month and replaced it with Title IX Month. In theory, Armour, who is a Title IX champion, should have been pleased with the spotlight for her pet initiative. Instead she went on a diatribe about how Trump was politicizing his Anti-Transgender Bias.
Nancy Armour didn't base her opinion on talking to athletes, she based it on talking points from college administrators and leaders in the LGBT movement.
What was the best sports team back when I was in high school? Easy, the girl's softball team. Not only were they a very tight knit group, but they won the State Championship in Ohio. Nearly 40 years later, they are still friends and in contact with one another. What do they believe in? That girls should only play softball against girls. That team had straight girls, gay girls, and a few girls in between. Softball united them as sisters. Why don't they bang the drum loudly that biological girls should only play biological girls?
They are afraid of being called Anti-LGBT (even though some are gay themselves).
They are afraid of being called Pro-Trump.
A select few are vocal, but most keep their opinions to themselves or from public consumption.
But all of those "girls" are now in their 50's. So, since I work with some parents of current girl's high school lacrosse players, I got a few more candid results:
"My daughter said if she had to play against bigger transgender athletes, she would just quit the team. She's not playing lacrosse in college."
"My daughter doesn't even like that they have to share a practice lacrosse field with boys."
"My daughter said that agreeing with anything that Donald Trump says is a death sentence in her social circle."
Why don't high school girls speak up?
They are afraid of being called Anti-LGBT (even though some are gay themselves).
They are afraid of being called Pro-Trump.
Not one person said "I welcome the challenge of playing against transgender athletes." Not one.
If Nancy Armour was a champion of Women's Sports, why doesn't she talk to actual women's athletes? Many of these same athletes are in full support of LGBT issues like gay marriage, but gender identity is "too far."
I keep reading about how biological females are unhappy about playing with transgender athletes at outlets like TheBlaze, Daily Mail (UK), or FoxNews. I find it hard to believe only those websites on the right can find these women.
This was the closest quote in support of transgender athletes that I came across for this article: "No problems with transgender athletes, once they have fully transitioned."
I think institutions should take anonymous polls of female athletes to see if transgender athletes should be able to compete in their leagues in high school and college.
Women dictating the future of women's sports. (What a novel idea).
I guarantee you, if anonymity was preserved, the transgender issue would wither away.
Nancy Armour would argue that the majority mindset doesn't necessarily make an opinion right.
I would argue that maybe the silent majority is right.
