The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) has declared girls鈥� flag football a new state sport. Just don’t ask them to define what a “girl” is.

This move is wise鈥攁nd long overdue. Girls deserve a chance to play football safely, and there鈥檚 clearly enough interest for programs to flourish (the grants to help schools get started). But you can鈥檛 ignore the elephant in the end zone: the WIAA鈥檚 decision to let biological boys compete against girls.

They鈥檙e quick to acknowledge football can be dangerous for girls鈥攜et they won鈥檛 admit that their redefinition of 鈥済irl鈥� creates that very danger.

WIAA sends mixed messages on gendered sports

Flag football removes tackling to make the game safer.

That change makes sense, especially when girls might face faster, stronger boys. We鈥檝e already seen transgender females causing injuries to girls both here and nationwide. And it鈥檚 obvious why nobody objects to transgender boys (biological girls) playing against boys: they don鈥檛 have any physical advantage.

Biological girls don鈥檛 suit up for tackle football against boys because they鈥檇 risk serious harm鈥攐r worse. Yet the WIAA tiptoes around that reality without ever saying it out loud.

It’s about safety and reality

Why girls’ flag football and not just flag football for all? This was an easy opportunity to open the sport to both genders and embrace the idea of gender-free sports. However, that approach would undermine the WIAA鈥檚 political stance that 鈥渇eelings鈥� can override biology.

But it accepts the premise that athletic boys perform better鈥攐r at a minimum, differently鈥攖han girls. Would there be as many girls getting time on the field when competing against boys who are faster or have stronger throwing arms?

They’re willing to accept聽迟丑补迟听reality, quietly accepting that boys typically outperform girls athletically. But politically, they can鈥檛 admit that transgender girls enjoy a competitive edge. So they send mixed messages: acknowledging the danger but pretending it doesn鈥檛 exist.
