Fairness in Girls' Volleyball 

     The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments tomorrow concerning laws that aim to ensure fairness and safety in women's sports. The issue is trans-identifying male athletes. 

     All-girl teams have beaten teams with boys, so what's the beef?

     "It isn't just about wins and losses," says a lady with Concerned Women for America. "It's about dignity and safety. Every time a male athlete steps on the court, he denies women fairness and safety on both teams." 

     She says, "On average boys are taller and stronger, run faster, jump higher and spike the balls harder. In men's volleyball, the net is 7 inches higher for all those reasons. A male athlete faces a net 7 inches shorter than he should." 

     "Their hitting velocity is not the only advantage. Their height, limb length and jumping power give them an advantage at nearly every position."

     A high school team in Ann Arbor, Michigan and other schools conceal male player identity to comply with federal law: protecting student privacy. Identity at a school in California is no secret. A male women's volleyball player won (boys) state track-and-field titles in the high jump and triple jump last May. 

     President Trump signed an order last year denying federal funds to schools that let boys play on girls' teams, but a number of states' athletic associations have continued to let boys compete in accordance with their self-proclaimed gender identity.
