Some sports in the US are still failing to address the issue involving the participation of transgender females.

However well-intentioned, you can't just have ideallistic principles. The reality is that biological women are having their experience of sport damaged. And we need to have reality as the foundation of competition, not ideals.

The best available solution right now is to have an open category and a biological female category, instead of men and women.

"Footage of a North Carolina girl's high school volleyball match has emerged in which a player suffered a serious injury after a transgender girl lobbed a ball at her opponent, striking her in the head.

The physical injuries suffered by the female student-athlete at Hiwassee Dam High School were to her head and neck.

It's estimated that the volleyball was thrown at 70mph - and was described as 'abnormally' fast by one bystander."
