"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: Trans Athletes and the Attack on Femininity" by Norah

Abstract:
“8 Times Women in Sports Fought for Equality.”
“Female Athletes Sue NCAA Over Trans Competitors.”
“Field Hockey Captain Slams Policy Allowing Male Athletes On Girl Teams After Injury.”
“Feminism In Sports.”
“Standing Up For Women Is A Dangerous Game.”
These are current headlines, fresh off the press, becoming an ever- increasing issue in
today’s culture.
And why is that? Because women are disrespected and people are upset about it. The
honor of womanhood is being attacked and diminished as seen through the deterioration of
women’s sports. Specifically, women’s sports are clearly being taken advantage of at all levels:
high school, college, professional, and Olympic. God’s intentionally-designed biblical gender
roles are losing hold in today’s society, leading to the culture ignoring and degrading the specific
functions of each gender.
Looking back through time, women have fought to receive rights, but now those are
twisting and changing. Basic biological facts show that men are naturally different from women,
being born with XY chromosomes that shape their development and hormones for the rest of
their lives. The physical, mental, and emotional differences of men especially display themselves
during physical activities such as sports, making an unfair and uncomfortable playing field when
they are allowed to compete with women.
Actions need to be taken to prevent this perversion of womanhood. If men and women
have been defined and separated for years, then instead of mixing the two together, another
bracket or a couple of competition brackets could be created. In this broken world there will
never be a perfect solution, but attacking women’s rights and distorting femininity in the process
cannot be the answer. In the end, the only true answer is resetting today’s culture to align with
biblical principles. People must look beyond their own feelings to the reality of God’s world and
those around them.
