Gaines is correct. Governor Tim Walz and some other Minnesota politician who helps this madness is shameful.
The one resolution is to refuse to play if the regulation is not going to change.
By persevering with to compete towards male athletes, girls are saying that is okay. It’s okay for males to barge their method into girls’s areas – athletics, bogs, altering rooms, or in any other case – regardless of how creepy, unfair, and sick is it for them to take action.
These of us with widespread sense must assist them once they refuse and say sufficient. It takes nice braveness to oppose the mob.
