The Heritage Foundation only wanted to protect women's sports when it was about trans athletes

The influx of money into women's sports from Title IX is why the NWSL was the best women's soccer league in the world for many years, and arguably still is, and these changes would be devastating for the league. The argumentation is truly disgusting

In his paper for the Heritage Foundation, Yenor argues that schools should be allowed to “accommodate sex differences” by replacing competitive women’s sports opportunities with “cheerleading, dance, yoga, hiking clubs, recreational intramurals, and other athletic opportunities more aligned with average female interests and tendencies.” High-intensity exercise, he notes, “increases infertility.” (Women who exercise “too much” may indeed have a harder time getting pregnant, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists—but some research suggests those effects are mitigated as long as they eat enough. Anyway, it’s not altogether clear that getting pregnant is a priority for the school-age athletes Yenor is writing about.)
