It's often said that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Of late, too many seemingly good men have done nothing to protect their daughters from transgender-identified athletes competing in girls' sporting events. Let's not mince words. These male athletes are harming and hurting their daughters under the guise of "equality" and "fairness."
Just last week, a Massachusetts high school girls' basketball team forfeited a game after a male on the opposing team injured three female players. The team decided to forfeit because the injured girl's female teammates were afraid of getting hurt themselves.
The girls made the right call, to be sure. But why was it necessary in the first place? And why was it up to teenage girls to make that call?
Last year, also in Massachusetts, a male high school field hockey player, identifying as a girl, hit a ball so hard it knocked out a female player's teeth. Video of the incident shows the female player crumpling to the ground and shrieking as her teammates cover their mouths with their hands and walk around in shock.
