For a number of years, women athletes have been cheated out of college scholarships and medals by men competing in women’s sports. Generally, these have been men claiming to be women, but in Massachusetts that has taken a new turn.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Townhall<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n The Oliver Ames volleyball team and Somerset Berkley field hockey both won the title in their respective divisions. They faced teams composed entirely of girls.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the second consecutive title for Somerset Berkley, as junior Ryan Crook was on the team last year, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Somerset Berkley coach, Jen Crook, has won four such titles and all while a boy played on her team. In 2018 and 2019, Crook’s other son, Lucas, was on the team. Both Ryan and Lucas also hold the school’s all-time scoring record, denying girls access to yet another accomplishment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Over at Oliver Ames, the volleyball team had two boys playing, Evan Casey and Sean Raymond. The school was undefeated this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n The problem in Massachusetts is systemic and goes beyond trans activism. The state allows boys to play on any girls’ team without even identifying as a girl or being on medication to restrict testosterone, provided the school doesn’t offer a boys’ team.<\/strong><\/p>\n The boys on these teams do not identify as girls. They are simply taking advantage of the state law that allows them to play on these teams.<\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n It’s bad enough when a “trans-identifying” boy usurps a spot on a team and records from girls. It’s even worse when officials let boys onto girls’ teams by abusing Title IX.<\/strong><\/p>\n If there is not a boys’ team at their school, maybe they should make the effort to start one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For a number of years, women athletes have been cheated out of college scholarships and medals by men competing in women’s sports.
