The correct statement would be "current opinion..." rather than "current knowledge...", which would then raise the question of 1) Whose opinion? and 2) Why do they think wanting to cut off perfectly healthy body parts is not a "condition of mental ill-health"? Trans people need our help and respect, but we shouldn't pretend that they don't have mental health issues. The real story here is that the World Health Organization has been captured by the ideology of the modern trans movement.
Exactly. How many change their mind after irreversible surgeries and lifetime side effects of hormone and chemical treatments. There IS NO going back! The media will not cover it but it's starting ro be well documented that most young people are introduced, seduced, emotions played upon, isolated, gr00med, and recruited into the flipping wierdness that is now being considered an art form by the sick minded encouragers. Also, its a socialist weapon used to further tear apart the security and stability of the family unit in Western culture.
It's pure evil and nothing more.
Dude want to compete in girls races, flop it on the table and get it cut off and maybe it should be considered. Not even Bruce Jenner supports this and not willing to cut his off either. Gender dysphoria is a mental sickness and they need love and help. Not from money hungry, sick doctors who promise no harm!
Ha ha ha ha hah, what a great idea. A large number of people get together to unleash an insidious weapon into society to brainwash youth into weirdness.
Presumably the end goal is so Canada gets more money.
I'm seen too many videos of trans identified male athletes competing in women's sports who are obviously not giving it 100%. Expect this athete to come in second place.
This is the nightmare scenario. Transgender athletes are not a new phenomenon and I am shocked that state high school organizations have not proactively created a separate division to accommodate these athletes.
I do not question the sincerity of this athlete but, merely identifying as a woman without undergoing hormone therapy creates a huge competitive advantage for her. OSAA really screwed up here!
Disagree with your first statement Coach, for several reasons. The most obvious one: Too few trans competitors for a separate division.
However, I think you are absolutely spot on with your second statement. These athletes should be on hormone replacement therapy for at least a year, preferably two, with T levels equivalent to their female competitors before they are allowed to compete. Simply identifying as a girl/woman is nuts!
It isn't up to women and girls to provide a solution to boys who want to live dressed as girls. Regardless of dysphoria, euphoria, fetish...whatever...it's not up to girls to fix his problem.
Gender non-conforming people have always existed, but never before have other people been forced to pretend that they are actually the opposite sex - for example, the hijras in India. You really can't point to a culture where other people were forced to believe that these people changed to the opposite sex. Another example would be in native American tribes where these people existed in a third space....so to speak.
Let’s see what happens next Saturday in Eugene. Gallagher comes in as the #1 seed in the 200 having defeated Aster Jones at PIL and Josie Donelson running the 400 and 300 Hurdles.
This is a bad situation for girls sports in Oregon. OSAA needs to do something over the summer. What stops a mediocre school with five boys under 17:30 to merely identify as women in order to win state XC in November? Admittedly, this is far fetched but there are no rules in place to stop it from happening.
40 percent of colleges not only had a large difference between women's athletic participation and enrollment rates, but also offered the same number or fewer varsity sports for women in academic year 2021–2022 compared to 2009–2010.
In 1972, Title IX required equity for women in college athletics. Yet 50 years later, women still participate in college athletics at lower rates than...

Hear hear.
Adults, men and *especially* fathers, speak up.
Absolutely done with this drivel. Young girls having to protest because incel boys need to be indulged.
You know the kind that actually has a pass to watch the WNBA? The kind of woman that cares about women's sports and just...women and girls, in general?

I sometimes wonder if that’s the sort of pantomime we need to puncture this whole situation.
A team of daft lads identify as girls and then win a national title wearing pig tails.
Reason and logic aren’t going to work. We need to engage absurdity.

Rightwing Cultural Warriors would not settle for nothing less than total and complete ban, which is not legally defensible as we have seen in the 4th Circuit decision on West Virginia.
But that's exactly what they want. They want to rile up their base and mobilize the support for replacing Libs and RINOs on the court with more M@G@ judges like Aileen Cannon.
If they were interested in protecting girls' sports, they would come up with a solution that is actually defendable in the court.

Sometimes you don’t need rules for things that will not happen.
However, there are enough Trans to make a separate category (look at wheelchair racing). Make a trans friendly environment and let them compete in their own category. It feels like they are not good enough to compete against the girls. Trans HS track records are way slower than girl records. When they start on hormones they stand no chance against girls. It is stupid to encourage these girls to start hormone therapy in order to compete. Why would you want to encourage a teenager to start hormone therapy? The Trans group is very uneven due to the transition issue. Their own category makes sense. Simply run the 200m, 800m and 3200m. No field events. Field events are not popular enough in the first place.
Swimming seems different. They obviously have an advantage there. A lot of it is about arm length, hand size and size of feet in swimming.

Sorry to ruin your dreams, but Caitlyn’s pee-pee went bye bye 👋
Jenner claimed to have undergone "the full surgery" in January 2017 in Jenner's book and in a highly-publicized longform interview with Diane Sawyer for the ABC television program "20/20." But that doesn't mean Jenner actually had genital surgery to make Jenner's "pee pee" and testicles go "bye bye" as you'd put it.
The few times Jenner publicly spoke of the matter back in 2017, Jenner always made a point of using the most vague terms possible - "the full surgery," "complete gender confirmation," "the surgery," "living as a female," "for all intents and purposes I am fully a woman" - then would immediately change or drop the subject.
Jenner told Diane Sawyer in 2017:
“I do mention in the book everything I did. But I wasn’t less of a woman the day before I had the surgery than I was the day after I had the surgery... [And mentiong "the surgery in the book] doesn’t mean in the future that I have to talk about it, that I’m going to dwell. The media may but I’m not going to dwell on that subject. And I would make a suggestion to all people out there -- don’t ask the question. It’s not an appropriate question to ask any transperson.”
A few years later during a televised roast of another male celebrity - a Hollywood comedian, IIRC - Jenner used Jenner's time at the podium to quip, "I didn't really cut if off. I just retired it."
So I'd take the claims Jenner made in 2017 with a grain of salt.
BTW, a lot of prominent trans-identified males have claimed to have had so-called "sex change" surgeries on their genitals when they haven't.
For example, American social media stars Gigi Gorgeous and Blaire White - each of whom has millions of subscribers on YouTube and other platforms - both made these claims when they first started becoming famous for being trans. But later on, both made videos confessing that they actually still had all their original male parts and revealing they were trying and hoping to be able to generate enough viable sperm to father children.
Gorgeous has since reported success on YouTube, other online platforms and in mainstream media appearances. In a frank YT video, Gorgeous says that after going off T suppressants and giving up the practice of "tucking," Gorgeous was able to produce enough viable sperm to have a child through IVF with Gorgeous' spouse, Nats Getty. (Getty, one of the heirs to the Getty oil fortune who has struggled with heroin and alcohol addiction since early adolescence, became a so-called transman since hooking up with Gorgeous.) Gorgeous says the couple has several more IVF embryos on ice.
Sadly for Blaire White, White's efforts to recoup fertility didn't go as swimmingly as Gigi Gorgeous' did.
