Women's sports

In 1972 the government passed a law called Title IX which brought equality to women's sports. The result has been a crowning success. Women can now compete in many levels and enjoy the fruits that competition brings. In 1972 there were 295,000 female athletes in high school and today there are 2.6 million. Many women's rights groups championed this new law but today they are mostly silent as the whole program is threatened by transgender males competing in women's events. Not all advantages for transgenders can be measured by testosterone levels. Some advantages like bigger bone structure, greater lung capacity and large heart size remain. This challenge like so many these days will be complicated by politics.
