    Another win for girls sports?

    Sycophants force cis boy to play girls sports. We really do live in the stupidest of times.

    This is so stupid.

    But also, couldn't they just lowkey cut him rather than making it a thing over it and embarrass a 13 year old?

    Definitely an odd story. I don't really blame the school for interfering with the try outs though. How they did it and that they haven't allowed him back was wrong.

    I say that because they had him on file as a female his entire school career, the parents never corrected it until the nigh before the tryouts. Assuming the AD doesn't personally know him or the situation, it would be weird to have a 13 year old female (or who they believed to be female based on their records) who has been in your district for several years suddenly provide a different birth certificate the night before tryouts. 

    But don't do it in front of others. Have a private conversation and a DNA test shouldn't be necessary. 

    I have a kid in the 5th grade. If the school had him registered as a female, I would have definitely taken care of that by now. I wouldn't want things like this coming up and him getting picked on and called a girl for the next 5 years.

    Riley Gaines is clearly in it for the grift. Using her 15 seconds of fame to grab as much cash as she can while she can.

    This is a good listen...

    The best part of that whole podcast was the last word at the end.  I did not know that the coach was a piece of shit.

    For months I assumed she finished second in the race that made her famous. Turns out she finished 5th. Where are the other three?

    I thought Thomas won the race.

    That's on me for not looking into it but wow. While the same issue could result in a 1-2 finish, it wild that this turned into what it is...probably mostly due to Gaines's looks.

    It’s all about scapegoating and having a chip on your shoulder to justify your anger, rather than take responsibility for your failings and work harder to be better at whatever it is that’s “holding you back”. The CCOOTWH administration is full of folks like that, including the top two positions, and as they say, “shit flows downhill “.
