Letter: Transgender athletes challenge females

Mindy Pennybacker really should be concerned with women being crowded out by men who claim they are transgender (“Female big-wave surfers face a dangerous threshold,” Star-Advertiser, In the Lineup, Feb. 24).

Female surfers winning equal pay among athletes anticipate what will happen now that there is big money in the sport.

Last year’s picture of a transgender male who won a women’s bicycle race, and is pictured with the two women who came in second and third, looks like a high school senior standing next to two kindergartners. Texas is still dealing with a protest over a high school male who claimed to be transgender and won the female state wrestling championship.

Will common sense and biology prevail over the “gender equity” social-justice warriors, and will feminists side with women and girls who deserve to compete with biological females?

So, far, the silence is disheartening.
