“It will discriminate.” No, it separates the men from the women. It’s women’s sports. Not men’s, not men who think they’re women , just women. Hence the name.

CONCORD, N.H. —
A bill that would restrict participation in girls high school sports exclusively to those born as girls was up before the House Education Committee on Tuesday.
Supporters said the bill is about preserving fair competition, but opponents called it discrimination.
The sponsor of House Bill 1251 said he wants only women to compete in women's sports, but those opposed to the legislation said high school athletics are no longer that clearly divided.
"My bill is about one thing: saving women's sports," said Rep. Mark Pearson, R-District 34. "My bill is designed to protect hard-striving female athletes from possibly losing a place on a podium, setting records or, possibly, college scholarships."
Many in the packed hearing room saw the proposal to allow only biological girls to play on girls teams as discriminatory against transgender youth.
"It seems self-evident to me that all students, trans and non, should be allowed to participate in the sports team or in the sport enterprise that align with their gender identities," said Rep. Lisa Bunker, D-District 18.
Sarah Huckman, a transgender athlete who participated in girls sports throughout high school, said she opposed the bill.
"It's very degrading to me and my community," Huckman said. "We've worked so hard to get rights for transgender athletes and transgender people, and this bill is just going to reel it all back in."
Bill supporters said scholastic sports have boys and girls teams to make sure competition is fair and that no one is being excluded from competing on a team.
"Athletes are objectively divided based on biological sex, not on gender identity," said high school track coach Meredith Gordon Remigino.
A representative from the attorney general's office testified about legal concerns with the bill, saying it opens the door for harassment or bullying and that it applies only to girls sports and not boys sports.
Good. It’s called woman’s sports for a reason.
