When a court is processing a related case, it determines whether the involved sports event is a body contesting sport or a non body contesting sport. In a public school, for a body contesting sport, if there is only a men’s sports team or a women’s sports team in the school, it is not allowed for someone of the opposite sex to join the team; for a non body contesting sport, if there is only a men’s sports team in the school, it is allowed for a woman to join the team, but if there is only a women’s sports team, it is usually not allowed for a man to joint the team; if there are a men’s sports team and a women’s sports team, male and female athletes should enjoy equal opportunities and treatments. The pursuit of the United States for sexual equity in the school physical education area enables men and women to enjoy equal op-portunities and to ultimately realize substantial equity by getting rid of bias formed by physiological differences espe-cially social genders on the basis of admitting that there are physiological differences between men and women.
