I usually have an intro for you guys
but today I had to get straight to the point. Over the weekend in the Alaska, a
transgender teen was able to compete in the state championship track meet
against the girls. Nattaphon Wangyot (have fun
pronouncing that) who was born male and now identifies as a female was allowed
to place 5th in the 100m and 3rd in the 200m dashes. The
fact he didn’t dominate these races is the most disturbing. Back to the real
problem is gender equality.
“I’m
glad that this person is comfortable with who they are and they’re able to be
happy in who they are, but I don’t think it’s competitively completely 100
percent fair,” Hutchison High School senior Saskia Harrison told a local CBS
affiliate.
Gender
equality has been a battle for our country since its birth in the yester years.
Women are now seeing the success of their efforts throughout the history of
sports. The battle is far from over. Over the years, we have added a new gender
into the equation of life. The Transgendered. I have no problems with anyone
who feels the need to change their gender. I believe one solution with solve
this problem. For sports and in life we have to treat them as separate genders.
You
will have Transgendered males and females. Requiring them to be recognized on
official documents, exclusive restrooms and separate teams in sports. This will
consider them independent and have the privacy of any male or female would
have. This will keep the competitive advantages equal. Even though you may have
the make-up of a male/female you have may have took hormones and PEDs given you
another advantage that male/female get punished for.
The
US government has to change their traditional ways of thinking and move into
this new world we live in. The world has changed and if our mindset doesn’t change
we will be doomed in the future.
