Keep the playing field level
Jeff Gilliland Staff columnist
Things have changed a lot in the last 50 years or so. A lot has been for the better. Some has not. A lot still needs to change, but not everything.
Fifty years ago there were no interscholastic girls sports at the high school level, at least in this area. Now there is a nationwide debate about whether individuals that formerly borns males, but now identify themselves as females, should be allowed to compete athletically against females.
Although the topic of someone deciding to change what sex they want to identify with goes against my moral upbringing, if that’s what someone wants to do, so be it. We live in the United States, after all, where we are supposed to be allowed to believe and think as we like, as long as our beliefs and thoughts do not infringe upon the rights of others.
