Create a Trans-Olympics for Transgender Athletes

Today I watched yet another of the many wrongfully-treated young female athletes explain how and why she was cheated out of her high school athletic career by transgender Woke-ism. Today also, the NCAA announced its new, wholly-unacceptable Woke policy on transgender athletes, which not only violates Titles IX and VII, it is an affront to God, mankind, womanhood, nature and logic.  So today I came up with a better idea to put an end to the inequity, controversy and bitterness surrounding the transgender athlete debate.

Not that anyone but female athletes, their families and their attorneys gives a whit about fairness; still, I have a modest and fair proposal: 

Let's  create the "Trans-Olympics" for transgender athletes (and leagues, if there are enough trans people around to make up a sufficient number of teams).

Special Olympics.org

Already we have created avenues for athletic participation where people with intellectual and physical challenges can compete against others with the same or similar athletic challenges and capacities. We have Special Olympics for the intellectually-challenged. We have  Paralympics for those with physical disabilities. We have wheelchair basketball leagues, and ice hockey leagues for people who don't have the physical ability to don ice skates. Instead of trying to fit square athletic pegs into round Woke-ism holes—instead of trying to redefine the abnormal as normative—why not solve this artificially-created biological sports dilemma in the same manner that most of us have agreed to solve the dilemma of the physically and intellectually challenged people who love and want to participate in sports? 

My proposal also offers the NCAA a way out of its transgender dilemma. The NCAA does not attempt to offer sports or sports scholarships to the intellectually and physically disabled, in large part due to the fact that those two groups already have the aforementioned avenues for participation. Neither does the NCAA allow biological (non-trans) males and females to participate in each other's sports; indeed, such participation is banned by federal and state laws. By virtue of some entity (more on that shortly) establishing a Trans-Olympics and/or trans leagues, the NCAA can simply defer to those new avenues for participation for transgender athletes rather than trying to solve the impossible puzzle of how to satisfy both Title IX requirements and Woke transgender demands.

Carving out new avenues for athletic participation where transgender athletes compete against one another is, at its core, no different than what we have done already for the aforementioned challenged groups. It also solves another, largely unspoken issue wherein transgendered boys (who used to be girls) not only do not gain by competing against biological males, they actually compete at a decided disadvantage. Only transgendered girls who are biological boys have a huge advantage when competing against their newly-adopted sex. Transgender boys cannot compete with biological boys physically, and they cannot compete with biological girls legally, while transgendered girls are allowed to totally dominate their new biological competitors. Transgendered boys have no where to compete, while biological girls no longer can compete, unless we give transgendered athletes their own leagues and Trans Olympics. 

By now, I assume that you are on board with this brilliant solution for this otherwise enigmatic dilemma. So who, you might ask at this point, will be responsible for creating and sustaining the Trans-Olympics and/or trans leagues? I would respectfully suggest that it should the same people who formed and sustain Special Olympics, Paralympics, wheelchair basketball, etc.—the athletes themselves, their parents and friends, and anyone else who so chooses to donate voluntarily to the cause. 

The singular semi-reasonable objection to this plan—that there aren't enough trans kids out there to create a Trans-Olympics or form trans leagues—must be answered with a resounding "So Be It!" Living with the consequences or our actions, or even with the consequences of events beyond our control, is something we all must do. Society should do its best to make life as equitable as possible for those with physical, intellectual, biological and psychological challenges. At the same time, we must not use our physical, intellectual, biological or psychological incapacity to bludgeon others. 

Fair enough?
