so apparently the NCAA has pulled championship games from North Carolina because of gender bathrrom issues. And NC appearantly responded by asking why the NCAA had Men's and Women's sports period.

Seems logical. No I really hate sports, except combat sports, and could really care less. However, there is a point to be made about this. If DOJ says that it is discriminatory to have seperation of bathrroms, locker rooms, etc, why do they allow seperation in sports or any other aspect of life. Wouldn't/shouldn't the DOJ stop international sports competitions in the US unless the countries comply with our legal philosophy? Shouldn't we pull out of any country that fails to meet our legal standard because they discriminate inappropriately, regardless of whether it is sports, education or anything else?

They don't, that isn't what the issue is.

Actually it is. Sexual discrimation against any sex is still sexual discrimination regardless if you are a male/female/transgenter/unisex/or a flipping lamp post. It is still discrimation.

Afterthought: Otherwise it would be a type of "Jim Crow" law.

That's an apples to oranges comparison, Ken, It would be a great comparison if the NCAA prevented a biological man, who believes he should be a she, from participating in a women's athletic activity, or vice versa.

I oppose the NCAA pulling the sports activities from NC, but mostly because I oppose the NCAA taking political stances. That, or maybe remove their tax exempt status.
