How do I know you’re lying?

1) No school would ever allow a coach to take a student home.

2) There’s a podium and medals for the 2nd race of the year? Suuuuuure.

Also, please educate yourself on the difference between principal and principle before you further embarrass yourself.

This young man is a boy. Has been since kindergarten until this year. Apparently something has changed. I don't know what is going in the school. Is he identifying as a female and all that nonsense? So far no one in administration will discuss it.

Why does the administration need to discuss it? According to the individual, are they a boy or a girl?

Need any more evidence the world has gone crazy? Adults going along with and actually encouraging this nonsense.

Poor misguided, confused and immature kids need some sane adults in their lives, but instead are led down this crazy path by stupid, woke, leftist morons.

She's got a pretty good point there.

A good point to everyone except the middle school girls competing against the individual in question. 7th and 8th grade girls still want to finish first. Many of them train hard without the advantage of ten times the level of testosterone. They shouldn't have to adapt to someone else's psychosis.

Evidently someone never learned that the principal is your pal. The principle in question, however, remains the same: individuals with testicles should not be allowed to compete in girls sports.

Pretending that the OP's story is real, the girls in the race might not care. Does the OP's daughter appreciate the support or is he embarrassing her?

In many states, a boy can decide he identifies as a girl and, regardless of his physiology, he can compete with and against girls in any sport? How long until a 6'9" boy is playing on the girls' basketball team?

Incorrect. There is no such thing as a boy who identifies as a girl. If you identify as a girl, you are a girl. Period.

And how did you get into that girl’s period?

where are the bullies?

Not even to comment on the situation but these races suck haha where I’m from middle school boys are regularly throwing down 10:40-11 times and girls are sub 12

Not sure why you care so much given how young they are. Let them do what they want. Let them milk all the social justice war all they want if that is what you feel is happening. Once in high school and college, they better either have a legitimate transgender case or it will become difficult to continue the sham. Your daughter will be just fine. For now, she can just focus on her time, not necessarily winning the race.

The left has its snowflake issues but the right too is paranoid about all out men simply calling themselves a woman the night before a race, an unfounded fear that doesn’t happen in practice and wouldn’t be permitted as per IAAF rules anyway. I suppose one could technically misidentify their gender as female for a couple years or more and then milk it from there on, but who exactly are the “men” doing this? Rest assured that if men started misidentifying for profit, IAAF will change the rules to prevent it. (Women misidentifying as male is not a credible threat.)

If you think it’s unfair for cis girls in competition and missed earnings and glory, maybe think about how unfair life in general outside competition is to trans girls who just happened to be born the way they are. Why not let the trans girls have an upper hand in some aspects of society like competitive sports?

This x100000.

Have you talked to you daughter about what she thinks? Is there a chance the kid is friends with your daughter and the other runners on the team?

You don't know the kids story or homelife. A kid that age who you disagree with is still a child.

Talk to your kid and make sure your actions aren't going to come up to her therapist in 7 years.

Because it perpetuates a delusion that often leads to massive, irreversible, self-harm.

It's not really the norm for kids to shower at school, anymore. They tend to change in stalls if their undies are coming off to switch into swim trunks.

My daughter ran an 11:34 2 mile in 7th grade, maybe your daughters are just slow????

At this age, there is a lot of overlap between boys and girls cross country times. Sub-11 for the top few runners for 3k xc is not uncommon for the top middle school boys and a bit less common for the girls but many girls beat many of the boys. Why this boy is competing in the girls' race is unknown here but it won't become a serious issue until puberty sets in and the kid is crushing the top girls. Right now, 12:24 for 2M (or actually 3k?) is not going to beat the best middle school girls.

this dude beat the girls by 2 minutes

Anyone with testicles* is “an all-out man.”

Pretending otherwise is anti-scientific lunacy.

* especially external testicles, I’m slightly more sympathetic to rare and sad cases of intersex athletes at non-elite levels

OP if you're confused imagine how the child must have felt growing up. I dont think she is competing on the girls team because it's easier to medal. Try to support every member of the team.

The child has a Y chromosome, ergo, is a MALE and a HE, not a she

One of the most notable common characteristics of modern conservatives is a complete lack of empathy

The suicide rate for LGBTQ+ children is much higher than other children, largely due to the "sane adults" you speak of not treating them with empathy and acceptance. Listen, we can debate the sports thing and it's a legitimate argument with good points on both sides. But, from a societal standpoint, adults who support and accept trans youth for who they are are not the ones causing damage.
