September 24, 2020, Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler made the statement that men and women are biologically different. She believes that it would be unfair and unsafe for woman playing the sport. Though, this is against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, she still made this claim. To be honest, it is very unfair and unjust for her to say thing like that. She had said this during a luncheon on the 16th about this. Dawn Ennis, a transgender woman and managing editor of OutSports, said Loeffler and her colleagues are simply pandering in an election year.
In February, the families of three female high-school runners in Connecticut filed suit to block two trans females from competing in track and field. They argued athletes assigned male at birth have an unfair physical advantage. This is considered biological unfairness to the students in the area. The girls should've been able to participate because gender isn't assigned anymore. Gender is a choice.
Today, we have treatments, aka hormone injections, that changes persons body to the gender they want to be. For males transtioning into females, they recieve called Estrogen. This turns a males bone structure, muscle structures, and etc into the same equivalate to that of a female. Testosterone injections for females transitioning into males, does the same but for the opposite. These hormone injections change the gender, and it is proven to work.
How do you feel about what is happening to these students?
I think that it is totally unfair. These students try so hard to be ho they are and get put down for it.
Do you support the LGBTQ+ community?
Yes, I'm even a proud member for 4 years now.

Great story choice Kris and I'm very proud of you to have courage to put yourself out there and help educate people. Be sure to capitalize key words in your title.
I also feel like it is unfair. Even if the teens took Estrogen, they would still have some of the male muscules and bone structure. It would still be very unfair. Also, if they wanted to play track and feild they should've played with the boys team. Maybe there were some problems with them on that team, but who knows. I do not mind the LGBTQ+ community. I have nothing against them.
I feel that these students are being treated in an unfair, and disciminatory way. They're just a bunch of kids wanting to play sports but the world makes it difficult for them. As a member of the LGBTQ community I absolutely support the community. I've been a proud member for my entire life. And as an LGBTQ member I would want everyone to treat me equally and fair.
I believe it's unfair and that everybody should be supported no matter what, it also leaves the team at a disadvantage because that's 2 fewer players able to go to the finals. I do support the LGBTQ+ community it kills to know that there's still segregation in race or Sexuality.
I feel as though this would be a poor choice on the Senators part. I'm not a big fan of sports so I don't truely care what goes on. But a senator getting involved with simple high school sports is a sad thing. I don't know why people are against it. Just let people who are different than "normal" exist.
I think they should be excluded. It is not fair for a man now identified as a woman to go play women sports. They should play sports at their assigned gender at birth. Men developed muscle faster and are stronger than women so this is an unfair advantage. I do not support the LGBTQ+ community because I do not care for what they believe in. I have a separate set of beliefs and I am not going to support something that goes against my beliefs.
I feel that it is right that trans athletes should be excluded. If these are high schools we are talking about how far they could be into their transition. Men have an easier time with building muscle. They are also faster which is just one more advantage.
I feel that it is not fair what is happening to these students becuase it is their decision. I think that it is not fair that they don't get treated just like everyone else because they are just like any other human being trying to play sports and have fun.
I agree. They try to be themselves but are wrongly discriminated against for it. Thats the problem with the world today though. No one can shut up and deal with it. They need to grow up and support them like a human being.
I think that it is cowardly for a man who cannot dominate in men's sports to go and become 'trans' so that he can win at something. It is very unfair to the strong, hardworking women who fought to get a spot on those teams to allow men, who have a higher level of testosterone, which gives them a physical advantage, to take their spots. There is a reason that men and women's sports were seperated in the first place, there is a difference between men and women, and women should not be overshadowed just because a man decides that he thinks he is a girl.
