The amount of transphobia in this sport makes me embarrassed to be associated with it.

I agree that a lot of the responses show a lack of understanding (ignorance) and no willingness to listen and come up with a workable solution.

But, like I said, at the high school level these are actually boys who grew their hair and put on makeup.

That's different than someone actually going through hormone therapy and gender reassigning surgery.

There is a workable solution. Compete in the correct division. Bending to the whims and demands of those with mental illness doesn't help anybody. It hurts the real women, it hurts the mental patient by reassuring their fantasy is legitimate (it's not), and it erodes reality itself simply because people are too afraid to tell the truth -- that trans people are mentally unwell. We are degrading society just to be politically correct.

Or none of those things. There are other issues in our society that are far, far more important. Not everyone is appalled like you are. Do you even live in Oregon?

You being too dumb to understand the seriousness doesn't make it less severe of an issue.

An entire generation of kids are being fed mental illness indoctrination that will shape the entire world in the future. I for one don't want any more children having their minds, lives, and bodies destroyed. And I certainly don't want people who are accepting of this to be running the world and telling me what I can and can't do.

So, disrespectfully, you are a terrible person. Stay out of civilized society and let actual compassionate and intelligent people fix this issue. You are most definitely neither.

My PR is faster than 4:07 and I only ran the mile once per indoor season. Insisting on allowing men in women’s sports may lead to a third Trump term and you’ll only have yourself to blame.

You're volunteering to try run 4:07 after years of HRT? Please do it. The research needs to be done.

It's amazing you are simultaneously trying to get people to believe that you're a compassionate and intelligent person while also arguing that any child questioning their gender is mentally ill.

The news article that I saw said the trans athlete tied for 5th, so these two girls were not affected by their placement.

They are mentally unwell because they are not accepted as the gender they identify with. Their mental health drastically improves when their gender is affirmed.

That does NOT mean we should use high school sports as their therapy. But conversion therapy has never worked and never will.

They are mentally individuals who expect society to affirm their delusions...
