Would there be no other way to accommodate this girl?

A hockey team I played against in high school had a backup goalie who was a girl. She didn't change in the locker room with the rest of the team. There have been other examples of this on sports teams.

I'm pretty sure they could have found a place for this girl to change, that would have respected her privacy, as well as the concerns of other kids and parents.

So, in contrast, tourism to places like Paris, where large numbers of refugees have been accepted must be way up, as travelers show their appreciation with their wallets, right?

No. Not really.

(Also, Trump is apparently hammering Paris as unsafe in today's CPAC speech. LOL.)

Why are you posting a screenshot instead of a link to the story? Are you trying to disguise Breitbart as your source?

Trump wanted less foreigners coming to America, and he's getting his wish.

The persistent strength in the U.S. dollar (which peaked on Jan. 1) relative to most other major currencies over the last half year probably has way more to do with that than anything about Donald Trump. Not one mention of that in the article, though. It's not cheap for people from other countries to travel to the U.S. right now. It is downright cheap for Americans to head to Europe or Japan or most of Asia compared to what it cost 8 or 9 months ago.

Sensibly, yes, but when you have people looking to take out their anger on schools -- and that should sound familiar to you -- you get someone suing because the facilities are "unequal."

Story from today's Star-Telegram ...

As if transitioning weren’t complicated enough, the athletic side for Beggs, a three-time state qualifier, must be somewhat confounding and frustrating because of the requirement to compete against girls.

While he is on the verge of becoming a state champion, he would do so competing against the the gender that he does not identify with, and contrarians — and certainly parents of opponents he will have defeated — will argue that he won unfairly.

Yet had he wrestled against boys all season, his chances of reaching the state tournament likely would have been drastically diminished. While Beggs holds a physical advantage against most of his female opponents, some contend that his body is not yet sufficiently developed as a male to consistently compete against boys.

“It’s an interesting question because he has not gone through as much time with testosterone exposure as a regular 17-year-old would have,” Vilain said. “On average, puberty in boys starts at 13. They would have four years of exposure, where he would only have one.

“At face value, that’s right. However, you can’t have it all.”

He’s (almost) all boy but will wrestle girls for a state title. Is that right?
