Because of her disability, she's not amazing at sports as one arm is limited. But she really would thrive on being on a team. Last year, she was kicked of the swim team that bragged accepted all swimmers as they viewed her as a liability.
Since men can compete on women's swim teams, should I just put my daughter in the u-10 category?
This post was weird and snarky. And I say this as someone against trans girls competing with cis girls as I believe it was unfair. Posts like this undermine people who are serious about girls competing fairly. Like, I think you know the answer lady, she can't compete with U-10 if she is 12.
I think your daughter should have a chance to compete, and there are opportunities out there for disabled swimmers so maybe do some more research? if DC stands for District of Columbia, then you are in a swimming hotbed that produced the likes of Phelps and Ledecky. Surely there is a club that will work.

Stop being a pathetic loser.

Way to go milking your child’s disability for transphobic venting street cred on a loser forum.
I cannot believe you would write this if you really have a daughter with CP. First, it is likely impossible that they could kick a disabled kid off the team, not with the ADA sitting there in front of them and the publicity that would follow. So, your story immediately makes no sense. And then you end with this idiotic comment that has nothing to do with the issue, but is yet another piece of anti-trans idiocy.
What fries my a*s about your post is that I have a 6yo granddaughter with CP and she is unstoppable. Though she has limited use of her legs and a scissors gait, she plays t-ball and soccer, enjoys wall climbing at the local kids' gym, rides a therapy horse, has competed in 400m races (which took her 11 minutes in her walker, in which the crowd cheered her on every second), has been on a zipline, and will join in whatever activity the able-bodied kids are doing. She knows she is different, but she never stops engaging or trying.
Why in God's name would you come to this idiot board to ask this question? What is wrong with you?

It's one of like 3 bits they have:
Well I identify as a helicopter... har har har...
Kids in school are identifying as cats and demanding a litter box... no for real, I heard about it in my kids school. (as if they really had kids going to the bathroom in a box in class)
Well, what if I say I'm 12 and want to date a middle school kid? (all the repubs love this almost as much as they love the idea of dating children)

I totally agree. The original post is very suspicious. "Because of her disability she's not amazing at sports" like okay, we get it, no need to twist the knife...
Pathetic!!!!!!!!!!
If you can change your gender, why can't you change your age? Their lived experience is valid, bigot
Parents don't decide what age group their children are in. The league, team, or governing body does. If this is any kind of legitimate swim team there are bound by extensive USA Swimming policies on inclusion of athletes with disabilities. But that does not include moving age groups. You are group is you age on meet day for USA Swimming.
In New Jersey there are active Special Olympic organizations that are there for youngsters with disabilities. They must have them in your area, if this is a legitimate pose.

You crammed a lot of utter nonsense into a mere two sentences. Bravo.
In a weird way, all of the negative responses to my original post.
Sadly, it confirms what I've known all along. People have zero hesitation to rip into me as they think it's absurd. But no one rips into these parents that enable their trans 'daughters' to win an NCAA title in swimming or the Oregon state meet in HS track.
I did briefly consider it but opted against it.
To the person saying the ADA would never let my daughter be cut, she was cut. I don't tell anyone why she's not great at sports.

What nonsense is this??
There are literally countless threads on this board alone criticizing every single aspect of trans sports participation. Never mind the treatment the subject gets on untold other media platforms.

Wait, so this whole post was about being anti-trans the whole time? Who would have guessed? Everyone, literally everyone knew.

Go f*ck yourself, rojo. If you’re going to waste time here, you may as well do some content moderation too.
You never stated how you plan to break the rule. Are you going to lie and say your 12 year old is 9 years old? Are you going to say it shouldn't make a difference?
If you can do it then parent of 6'3" 185 lbs. 15 year old with a disability should be allowed to be a Little League pitcher. Yeah, he has an 85 m.p.h. fastball but ...
Can a parent of a 200 pound 12 year old place their disabled child in Pop Warner 9 & 10 year old division?
I am not pleased to learn of your child's disability but the rule is there for a reason.

I literally said that I am against trans girls competing against cis girls.
As someone said, there are message boards dedicated to ripping trans athletes and their enablers, and lawsuits, and there are plenty of well known people so I am not sure what the point you are trying to make actually was?
And if your daughter actually has CP, which at this point I am unsure you are even telling the truth, and she was cut for that, you should consult a lawyer.
Me go now watch movie 'The Ringer' about a running because I end watched movie 'I Am Sam.'
Look, we all know what you regularly post and we have no reason to believe you at all, and honest to God nothing you say adds up. Your daughter is disabled but you do not tell anyone why she is not good at sports? Like, it would not be obvious? If she really has spastic hemiplegia, which is the only thing she could have that merits your comment? What hogwash is this? Why not post your anti-trans fu**ery in all the other anti-trans threads on this idiot board? You had to do it here, somehow conflating to your daughter's purported disability. So, you use her for other purposes? Jesus.
