Men Becoming Women

What I'm about to write May be offensive to some people But I am absolutely appalled By what's happened at the Olympics Men playing on women's teams Concealed by their national dress Not being discovered While undergoing a cursory examination As incredulous as this may seem It is happening the true spirit of the Olympics Has long been destroyed by this “Win at any cost” or “by any means” attitude Once a big fan who took pride When my country achieved success The true spirit of the games Has become shrouded in controversy Oh how times have changed True story

Young people need to see me more than ever to know there is a place for them in sport, despite these attacks-Mosier ‘Bills across the nation, attempting to prevent trans youth from participating in sports, attack not just high school athletes, but all transgender people,’ he said. These bills are gateway bills, takes away more protections of our basic human rights."—Mosier Qualifying requirements are in order. The Olympic spirit-not gone, we shouldn’t dump something we can’t quite download--me
