Things that never happen

Two years ago John tied for fifth place in the pole vault. Now “Katie” has just won the Girls Maine State Class B Championship. Longer hair and shorter shorts = girl.

FFS, literally just grown his hair into curtains.

And put shorter shorts on!

Maine is ignoring the recent EO

Thanks to the coach for speaking up:
“They’re [the transgender student] going to be the conference champion, quote unquote girls Conference champion. They’ll be the quote unquote girls state champion for the class B athlete. And these girls that have been competing for years, working towards this, are just being sidelined, and it’s really disgusting,” said Cornwall.

When I was a young sportswoman, women and girls weren't allowed to pole vault. So some fleeting years of equality only to hand it all over to males - again.

I thought Trumps EO's had put an end to this sort of thing?

No, it just means no federal funding will go towards this school or this competition or anyone who facilitates it.

Mr Trump has put a stop to this. If that state wants Federal funds for education/sports etc (and most states do) they will stop this, because getting state funds is now mandated on not allowing transgirls into female sport.
I don't like Trump and it is a pity the US needed a misogynist opportunist to do this - the Democrats should read the room.

He's just a boy from the '90s!

And clearly not feeling especially dysphoric at the risk of a bollock flash in those shorts.

The democrats did read the room and decided it wasn't important to stand up for the rights of female athletes. It was deliberate.

I was being polite. I can see from across the Atlantic that the Democrats do not actually think most women important, not just female athletes. If they did they would mandate proper health care free at point of access for pregnant and nursing women and make some attempt to lower the infant and maternal mortality rates in parts of the US.

The current Democrat governor of the state of Maine has a trans-inclusive policy and unless the schools or organisations concerned receive federal funding not much will change as a result of Trump's executive orders.
