Eventually, they're going to stop playing.
You know, I talked about this today when I spoke on the steps of the Supreme Court.
I was a gymnast as a young person, a seven time national team member, came back from all manner of injuries, everything from broken ankles and broken femurs.
I came back to win.
I never gave up.
But if I knew the deck was stacked against me from the beginning, if I knew that I had to compete against boys, I think I would have given up.
And we are telling girls every single day that they don't matter enough to fight for, that they need to sit down, be quiet, and just let that boy who claims to be a girl have what he wants.
Why are you being so mean?
That's what we're telling girls.
That's the message we're sending them.
That's what I can't believe.
You know, I started gymnastics two years after Title IX passed.
I thought we did this.
I thought we were done, and yet...
Yet here we are, and we're telling girls they need to be quiet and let boys have what they want.
I mean, it really is misogyny in a dress.
There's no other way to describe it.
I think it's going to continue, Clay.
I mean, you're a lawyer.
I guess this is a culture question, though, just as much.
