Brehm says that boys who transition to become girls should not be allowed to compete with girls in Minnesota high school athletic activities. He presents valid reasons that support his belief. But the key to his position can be found in the headline above his writing. The headline contains the word “fairness.” Having many years ago coached high school girls track, I recall how much bigger, stronger and faster the boys were as these athletes practiced side by side each afternoon. Medical science indicates to us that even after transitioning, boys maintain much of what makes them bigger, faster and stronger. For that reason, the fairness factor has to be the boss when determining if transitioned boys should be allowed to compete against girls. It is simply not fair for a girl to compete against a boy who has transitioned and changed his gender identity.
