Reports of a transgender student being accepted onto the Conant High School girls volleyball team has supporters and opponents sharing their thoughts with the Palatine-Schaumburg High School District board.

“There’s an innate difference in strength, size, and performance of biological males versus females,” said McClary. “Even the Olympic Committee has rules that elite athletes compete based upon biological sex. High school athletes deserve the same fairness.”

This is a bunch of crap and again Pritzker wasting tax payer money on crap. I have nothing against the LGBT community What they do in the privacy of their own homes is their business, but to force this crap on the community is BS, and to force biological females to play with or against biological males should be against the law. The only reason males are trying to get into females sports is because they’re not talented enough or strong enough to play against their own gender. Biological females should not be subject to physical harm by biological males, just as biological males have no business in female locker rooms or bathrooms. If my kids were still in school while all this garbage was going down, you bet your bottom dollar I would have gotten the community organized and well funded to sue the piss out of the school district and the state of IL for allowing this crap to continue. WTF is wrong with todays society!!!???
