LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): That was Alanna Smith, a rising high school track and field star. Her dreams of being a college athlete are being shattered because two teenage boys who identify as girls are allowed to compete against her. It's a question at the heart of a new complaint at the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights. Cheryl Radachowsky is the concerned mother of the female athlete you just heard, and she joins me now along with her attorney, Christiana Holcomb, from the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is a fantastic organization by the way. Cheryl, why do you feel it's so important for your daughter at this moment in time, with all the politics of gender issues floating around, that she compete with only biological females?
CHERYL RADACHOWSKY (ALLIANCE DEFENDING FREEDOM CLIENT): Girls deserve the right to compete on a level playing field, and forcing female athletes to compete against biological males isn't fair. And it destroys their athletic opportunities.
INGRAHAM: Well this is not a political issue, right? I mean, this is about your daughter working her tail off, and I played, you know, quite a few sports in high school and some in college and, I mean, it's a lot of work. And boys are built differently and all the studies are showing that, Christiana, even if it turns out someone takes hormones, you are still stronger, faster, biologically -- bigger internal organs, lung capacity -- all gives an edge to the biological male regardless of hormonal treatment. So, Christiana, as a lawyer here, what's the case you make?
CHRISTIANA HOLCOMB (ALLIANCE DEFENDING FREEDOM): As Cheryl said, girls deserve to compete on a level playing field. Title IX is a federal law that was designed to stop discrimination against women and to ensure that girls like Cheryl's daughter Alanna have equal athletic opportunities with boys. But when you allow males to come in and to dominate women's sports, that destroys these girls' athletic opportunities -- not just their opportunities, but potentially their future athletic careers as well. So Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a Title IX complaint on behalf of Cheryl's daughter Alanna as well as two other young female athletes in Connecticut just asking the department to restore fairness and a level playing field to women’s sports.

INGRAHAM: This is insanity. If this is where feminism takes us, and gender politics takes us -- I mean, it's not feminism, it's gender politics -- all feminists across the country should, you know, think about it again because this will destroy girls' sports eventually.
