Apparently a lawyer for the plaintiffs (confused) side of the current Supreme Court case arguing whether Title IX refers to biological sex or gender identity has claimed that biological males on girls' cross country team doesn't matter because "cross country doesn't have cuts". Having personally been cut from my college cross country team, that one got a belly laugh out of me. Even at the high school or junior high school level, the king of athletics has limited varsity/first team roster spots, so adding a (often faster) biological male to the girls' team generally does push a girl off the varsity roster.
Of course, since the plaintiffs' whole point is to deny reality, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they would deny the reality of roster cuts in my favorite sport, too, but it's still amusing.
