The NAIA has no knowledge of transgender athletes competing in its postseasons...
In other words, they are banning zero people from high level competitions in women's sports. The issue is made up by conservative media to get you boneheads to click on it. NAIA is placating the masses with a solution to a non-existent problem.

So... nothing of the sort has ever happened anywhere?
You think elite level makes a difference?
@fartacus saidNo it happened before.... in the movie juwanna mann from 2001.

It’s like toilets and showers: a tiny issue which affects nearly no one, blown out of all proportions. Scare mongering.
On one hand the right-wing press is screaming: “Woman’s rights! What’s going to happen to female sports! Not on!”
And on the other hand: Let’s take away woman’s rights to their own bodies.
It’s like pro-lifers being pro-death penalty.
For anyone not in the US, it’s completely absurd. The alt-right and their opinions are completely off-field on so many subjects it’s like watching a scared and bitter version of Monty Python whilst eating magic mushrooms.

@fartacus saidI found the women's NCAA final VERY entertaining - as much as the men's.
W stands for Weak.
There were fewer foul calls, the action moved right along. There were lead changes, and those ladies shot the LIGHTS out of the basket! You could sense when SC got a grip on the strategy they needed to win - dogging Clark. Despite her dishing off beautifully, it wasn't enough. Her passing and shooting reminded of Larry Bird, TBH.
Incredible. Delightful! I liked it better than the Purdue-UConn game, although that was also pretty good (and I went to Purdue so I was invested!)
My brother-in-law and his buddy were equally enthralled. So I would not look off women's basketball any time soon. It's objectively really good.
