Yes, there are separate classes for men and women in archery. As much as some would like to pretend, men and women are not equal. Men generally are bigger and stronger. They can pull a heavier draw weight on a bow and they can hold a bow with a heavier mass weight steadier for a longer period of time. That said, The Vegas Shoot which is the biggest indoor archery tournament in the world, has allowed women to compete in the Championship Open Divisions against men for the last 2 seasons. Some have competed, but so far none have made the podium. Like I said, as much as some would like to pretend, men and women are not equal. It's not just physical, it's in the mentality and how they approach competition. We see it in archery all the time. The high performing archers in the men's divisions compete against each other, but they respect each other. They may give each other crap but they still respect each other. You'll also see them working as mentors and mentors in their own division. Even when they don't like each other they can look at each other and say, "You're an asshole.", but they will still respect each other and compete fairly. Women, not so much. They get caddy, mean and downright vindictive. We've seen it happen on several high performing teams, they will single out the best archer then conspire to try and bring her down. While we've seen it rarely on the men's side, equipment tampering has been much more common on the women's side. Men do not seem to have a problem competing against each other win or lose. With women it gets to be much more personal. I can only imagine how the female teams are reacting to the transgendered athletes. I have a feeling it will get downright ugly before long.

Do---or do not. There is no try. |
I remember that back in 1977, the day after transgender tennis player Renee Richards won her lawsuit and was allowed to enter the U.S. Open, Johnny Carson said in his monologue, “They’re even creating a new division for her—-‘Mixed Singles.’” That got a big laugh from the audience. Today, that joke would have immediately ended Carson’s career. | |||

So I am guessing that these transgender people are allowed to change their clothes and uniforms in the girl's locker room and also take showers with them ? What happens when she starts having an erection with all the girls around her ? What will the other girls say to her ? Just putting it out there. God Bless "Always legally conceal carry.

The young man needs to shave his mustache if he wants to fit in better. You can tell he's developing into a pretty solid and muscular kid compared to the other freshman girls. With proper training and discipline, he could make a pretty good sprinter.......and will crush all the girls he competes with regardless of what gender he registers with the school district. And if he's not taking hormone treatments or opting for surgery, he'll be 100% male under all the cute outfits. I feel sorry for the kid - he's too young to quite appreciate the predicament he's in. I would hope the adults in his life would provide a better dose of reality. P229 | |||

I'm all about eliminating gender classes. If you want host a sprint race let anyone who wants to compete. I fully support a girl who wants to run against the best athletes in the world, not just the best girls. If she gets smoked and goes back and works harder then good on her. We all know what will happen. The militant female SJW's will decide to eliminate sports as the only "fair" thing to do. I would love to see Title 9 gutted. I don't think the PGA, NBA, MLB and the NFL have any rules that say you have to be a boy. I think some good second tier male athletes need to sue to play in the LPGA & the WNBA and just dominate it. Maybe then we can show just how STUPID this shit is. While we are making things fair it seems to me that there are several classes of people that are severely under represented in the NBA. Seems like we have the makings of a good civil rights case. I continue to hear that diversity is a good thing. I'm all about a NBA team being required to have a certain number of hispanic, and white, and short, and fat people on the team. sigh... Mark | |||

I think all the real girls should have refused to compete with HIM! Show the state officials it was not gonna happen again or else only 1 person to run in the finals. When you have idiots posing as adults running the show, then you get it all screwed up and the other kids should not put up with it.

When that happens, will colleges finally get to stop allocating funds for sports teams according to gender on the basis of Title Whatever? | |||

LOL Good, serves them right for allowing some mental defective to say he identifies as a female instead of kicking him in the sack a dozen times and telling him to get lost. | |||

I'm all about eliminating gender classes as well. How progressive of me. But, the only ones who seem to be throwing fits right now are the ones who "win" in the ladies category. Practical shooting has seen some recent controversy where some of the top female personalities have been complaining to upper management in USPSA about transgendered shooters creeping up on the "high lady" awards. Here is Ben Stoeger's take from a couple of years ago, and I think it's worth the read. -------------------------- My favorite post from the transgender uspsa thread. "Wow, ladies, gentlemen and non-binaries, the OP has floated a not very subtle trial balloon. USPSA is a competition and people want to win. Some will cheat and others are willing to debase the sport or themselves in endless categories, classes and divisions to declare themselves, if only in their own minds, the Real Champ. Listen OP, just because you can’t win a match doesn’t mean you get to slap on a wig and self-identify female at a match so you can be C-Class Hi-Lady Limited 10. Doing that doesn’t make you a Real Champ or even a Real Vamp. It’s just lame. Organizations such as the Olympics recognize the obvious that biological females have a disadvantage compared to men in many sports, and so they try to thread the needle by having the transgender male-to-female show a course of therapy that in some way reduces that advantage. Before USPSA should allow transgenders to compete in the lady category (yes, it’s funny it’s still called lady yet you expect a cutting edge rule here!), a similar provision will have to be made. The participant will have to show proof of testosterone suppression therapy, such as wearing a vest and shooting IDPA for twelve months, or answering trivia questions that cover all six seasons of Downton Abbey. If you don’t have some protocol like that, you will have people abusing the process by “transbagging” and soaking up all the sweet, sweet hi-lady awards. USPSA is to be applauded for exploring other options, like the trans-friendly Carry Optics division, which allows men who may have no other avenue a social outlet to explore the feminine side other their personalities without reassignment surgery. In the end, there’s nothing that can’t be solved by further dicing the competitive field into smaller bits. It will be a glorious day when Practiscore finally is able to accommodate, by ranking everyone number 1 at every match, the truth we all know: we’re all winners, if you just know where to look. ." https://www.facebook.com/ben.s...ts/10101449474753366 | |||

All sexes can run, but divide the meet into a jock-strap and no-jock-strap division. . | |||

Well they demanded it so now deal with it. It is sad the real girls didn't have a chance but when people have had enough, this will end. | |||

Why not create a "Transgender" division? Seems the Leftist Libtards "create" everything else. Why not another lie? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil...
