I have lived in Virginia my entire life. As a female athlete myself when I was younger it opened up many doors and opportunities for me. Now my daughter, 12, is starting her own athletic journey on the track. If you have ever looked at the track times of elite athletes, or even a middle school track team, there are big differences between boys and girls, even at 12. Now boys who have a DSM-5 categorized mental illness want to run as girls and are blowing females athletic records away - not just on the track either. Why are we putting biological girls last? Why is this even up for debate? There is objective truth out there. We must stand for it, or biological females will be paying the price as they have in Loudon County bathrooms.
