    Man, this is depressing. How could someone be convinced that this is an okay thing to do? I mean, even if there were boys competing, they’re pre-pubescent 9 year olds. How much advantage could a boy have over a girl?

      I think he was way less concerned about the spirit of fair competition than he was looking for an excuse to berate someone that didn’t fall under his idea of gender norms.
