Angry Parents Shred California School Board For Allowing Trans Athlete On Girls [XC] Team

My cousin's daughter is a trans female who came out in her early 20s and transitioned. She knew she was trans in junior high, but did not come out until after college because she feared what other people would do to her. She was in HS in the early 2000s. Even then, and in a fairly left leaning NJ suburb, kids who were LGBTQ were severely harassed and bullied. Even though she played soccer and ran XC on the boys' teams, she got called "f#g", "fugde packer" and all the other epithets repeatedly for playing flute in the HS band and mostly having friends who were girls. She eventually dropped out of sports and just did band because the girls in the flute section were all nice to her and the other boys in the band were far more tolerant that the kids on the sports teams.

Trans kids just want to be able to be themselves and do what all the other kids get to do in school. I understand that issues arise when a trans female has been through puberty and has physical advantages to athletes who are female from birth. But school sports are supposed to be there for everyone. There are ways to allow trans female athletes to be able to compete alongside athletes who are female at birth without taking anything away from those athletes.

A pathetic post.

It doesn't matter what they want.

You can't be a boy, claim to now be a girl, and compete with girls. Just moronic.

Tell me you aren't a coach or have children, please tell me that's not happening in your life.

It has been said already but let's say it again. We divide sports by sex because males are bigger, stronger, and faster than females. It is not a fair competition. We have different changing facilities because males are sexually more aggressive (Fact: # of male sex offenders versus female sex offenders). Look at reality. This year the female NXN winner ran the best race ever for a female on the course. She would have come in tied for 86th in the male race. 99 runners in the male race would have beaten the previous female record. XY needs to compete against XY. XX needs to compete against XX. XY needs to use XY facilities. XX needs to use XX facilities. This is a societal issue, not an individual preference issue.

This is a function of cumulative effect of testosterone. Not a function of chromosomes.

If your body does not produce adult male level testosterone, your Y chromosome does not give you advantage.

If your body does not respond to testosterone, your Y chromosome does not give you advantage.

If you have prevented your testosterone-driven puberty with medical intervention, your Y chromosome does not give you advantage.

Medical experts hired by World Aquatics (FINA) came to this conclusion a few years ago. You do not have to relitigate a settled case with your uninformed opinion.
