Things are moving along, but I'd like to see more girls refuse to participate in sports where mentally ill men are allowed to compete. The fencer who took a knee and others have the right idea. I'm not opposed to Trump's EO or these lawsuits, but the only way this stops is when girls refuse to compete in these situations. Middle aged white dudes can't end it. Soccer moms can't prevent it. The only ones with real power are the ones being hurt. If every girl refused to compete against them--these narcissistic, deranged boys would give it up. Because what they're really after is the affirmation of their delusion and the thrill of a "win" they can only get by competing against women.

As Alexander Solzhenitsyn pointed out in Live not By Lies, participation in lies by agreeing to be bound by them is a large part of what gives them power. When you refuse to pretend that men are women and that their involvement if girls' sports is OK, you weaken the whole false edifice. Eventually it will collapse. But most important the ones who have to stop agreeing to the lie are the girls themselves. We should all support them unequivocally, but they have to do it.
