And God Made Man

- Tell me not now, not now, not now.

Not now, please, not now.

Hurry up, Lindsay. - Coming!

Do you have the tickets?

Tickets? - I don't need a ticket.

Check your wallet?

- It wouldn't be in my wallet 'cause I already.

Darn, kid.

Okay.

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

That's a good question.

All right, dab it up.

All right.

- Okay. - Let's go do this.

Come on, we're gonna be late.

- Keep this so you can come in and out

during the competition.

- Okay, thank you. - You're welcome.

- Hi. - Hello.

- Keep this so you can come in and out during competition.

- Thank you. - Now, are you competing?

- Yes, ma'am. - Okay.

- Name. - Lindsay McCabe.

Oh, I've heard of you.

All right, good luck.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Thank you.

- Hey. - Hey.

- All right, ladies, everybody tell your parents

about the pizza party after the award ceremony?

I need a count, so we're good?

- Yeah. - All right.

Bring it in a little bit.

Our practice time starts in two minutes.

Looks like they move the freestyles up first,

so not a big deal,

we just get in the water and do what we do, no pressure.

I don't have to tell a lot of you

how important this race is, this whole competition.

Stay in your breathing patterns.

Stay focused and never confuse movement with what?

- Action. - Thank you.

- All right, let's bow our heads.

Lord, please keep these girls safe.

Bless them as they strive to honor You

in everything they do, amen.

All right, everybody hit the water.

Lindsay, give me a minute.

All right, all your hard work comes down to this.

- Gee, no pressure. Thanks, coach.

- No pressure, just go do what you do, win,

and let's move on to regionals.

- Okay. - All right.

See you in a minute.

Yeah, go swim.

- Your mom would be so proud of you.

Just do your best, honey, I love you.

- Okay. - Dab it up.

Yep.

I love you, sweetie.

Okay, get 'em.

- She's got this. - You nervous?

- No, I'm not nervous, another swim meet.

She'll win.

Some of these girls look fast.

- Yeah, they're fast, but she's already beaten most of 'em.

It's not a big deal.

Scouts here today, just a couple.

We go to regionals, it'll be packed.

No, no, I'm fine.

You don't look fine, Steve.

I'm not.

On your mark.

Go!

Lindsay McCabe.

- Come on, it's okay. - Who was that girl?

- There are lots of swim meets, it's okay.

Is that a boy?

You okay, sweetie?

Yeah, I didn't see her coming.

I've never, I've never,

I've never seen that girl before.

Do you know who she is?

You did great.

What if she's a boy?

It's just not fair.

Girls.

We don't wanna be here.

This whole thing was rigged.

- We're staying and we're gonna be respectful

of the decisions and we're gonna hold our heads up high.

That she's a he?

That's the reason he won.

That doesn't make it fair.

Life isn't fair.

We can change it, deal with it.

Most of all right now we're gonna do the right thing.

Let's get some pizza, let's have a party.

- All right, everybody hungry.

- Yes. - Okay.

Here, take this.

All right, enjoy.

Here y'all go here.

Just pass it on.

I am so sorry about that race.

It is absolutely devastating

where this whole sport is going.

How so?

He's a boy.

The girls had to run out of their own locker room.

- Excuse me, do you have a minute?

- Sure thing, Steve, what you got?

That was a boy.

That was a boy who beat Lindsay.

I know.

What do you mean you know?

He's transgender.

He's what?

- He is a she and they're allowed to compete.

- And they're allowed to be in the locker room with girls?

With my daughter? My Lindsay?

This is ridiculous.

So what you're telling me is,

my daughter's not going to regionals

because some boy put on a one piece

and disguised himself as a girl.

- Look, I knew this day would come and it did.

I'm sorry, I know you're upset.

It's just the way things are in this world.

Dad, can we go home?

Yeah, let's go home.

Thanks. - Sorry, Steve.

Oh, my backpack.

Thank you for the race.

What do you think?

What should we do?

I don't know, this sucks pretty bad.

You're telling me.

Oh my gosh.

What even is this?

This is crazy.

Almost done with the computer?

- Oh, I'm sorry, I was just looking some stuff up.

Transgender in sports.

Is that what you wanted to look up?

Yeah.

Here, look what I found.

It's already illegal in 10 states.

- So if I wanna swim scholarship,

we need to move to one of these states.

- Almost all of 'em started with a lawsuit.

- Lawsuit? - I wanna sue them.

Sue who?

- The California Swimming Association,

the United States Swim Council.

- Dad. - Sue the venue

that held the competition, if I have to.

Lindsay, this just isn't about you.

All right, this is...

I read about, in Texas, there was a lifelong cheerleader.

Wasn't allowed to be on the team

'cause some boy wanted to be on it.

It was a, Michigan, I think a volleyball player,

she got her her nose, her face broken

because a boy spiked the ball right at her face.

Some power lifter somewhere outlifed all the women

by like 200 pounds.

And soccer, you got boys crippling girls on the field.

You missed out on an opportunity today, Lindsay,

a college opportunity.

This transgender is getting outta hand.

They shouldn't be competing with girls.

That's the bottom line.

And it's that simple too.

God made man, God made woman.

- I think it's a lot more complicated than that.

No, it's not.

God made man, God made woman

and all of this other nonsense is just outta control.

I mean, now it's affecting us, Lindsay,

now it's affecting you.

- Okay, just don't stay up too late.

Okay, sweetheart.

Well, you see, my daughter is part of a swim team

and last weekend she swam at districts.

Districts leads to regionals,

regionals leads to college scholarships.

Now, my daughter was heavily favored to win,

but one of the other teams raced a boy,

a transgender boy, and he won.

He won by a lot.

Now this was supposed to be an all-female competition.

Title IX.

Yeah, but that can be changed.

He was in my daughter's locker room.

No person should be excluded

from government-funded school activities

on the basis of sex.

No person, the law is unambiguously clear.
