Anyone who feels their gender is not aligned with their biological sex is very clearly mentally ill. It's not really up for debate. I had an uncle who thought he was jesus. Same thing.

OP, here's a question. Why is it ok for you to push your beliefs on people and then call those that don't agree with you a hater? These people are not pushing their beliefs on you and are entitled to follow their beliefs without being berated as haters. To them, these acts are an abomination. Not everyone has your standards, so technically, I could call you a hater. You're being more disrespectful towards someone's fancifully stupid beliefs than they are towards yours. Classic example of the pot talking sh-t about the kettle.

A Christian school in Maryland has left the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference over the organization's rules that allow transgender athletes to compete as the gender to which they identify.
Grace Brethren Christian School, a pre-kindergarten to 12th-grade school in Prince George's County, said that the league's policy didn't align with the school's Biblical principles, The Washington Post reported.
Awesome. Good for them.
Allowing men to compete as girls is a totally stupid idea and should not be allowed.
Let's require men to compete with men, and keep them out of women's athletics.
This is a much better title.
Good for the Christian school.
I'm not a Christian, but they're doing the right thing.

I have a better idea. Let's wreck women's sports for 99.5% of women so that we can make it possible for 0.5% of the biologically male population to have an opportunity to show their physical superiority to women.
As someone with a rather liberal view on most things, I do not believe that girls should be in an athletic disadvantage of having to compete against individuals with biological advantages of being born male.
This is not good for girls and women.
I wouldn’t deny transgender athletes from the opportunity of competing.
Compete against the boys.
And if you take hormones to change who you are then you cannot compete at all because that’s using PEDs.
My opinions are for equal opportunity and fairness.

I truly feel that this is their right. The whole question is not an easy one.
That said, I hope GBCS is consistent and teaches its students that pi = 3, because that too is biblical: 1 Kings 7:23.
Oh dear that is terrible exegesis.
Even as myself being a follower of the Koran I can tell you that you are grasping at straws.
I don't think they should be allowed to do this. It is against fundamental rights to oppose competing as a woman for those who legally female. Will the courts step in to stop this?
Title IX wrote:
Equality Act - name says it all wrote:
Every House Democrat but one has co-sponsored a bill requiring schools to allow male athletes who identify as transgender girls to compete on female sports teams.
Democrats’ Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law. Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.
Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL) is the only one in his party not co-sponsoring the Equality Act.

The better question is what will this eventually do to the country.
This shows that radical egalitarianism (the idea that everyone must be completely equal in all aspects and that any category barriers to anyone is a violation of their "rights") when taken to its logical conclusion is a self defeating concept. No society can organize itself without being able to define people according to unchangeable categories and demand appropriate behavior from people according to their categories.
Radical egalitarianism is itself the logical conclusion if you think democracy is a great idea. Representative democracy is a good idea when compared to other forms of government, but it has its own built in contradictions. We are seeing those contradictions play themselves out now.
The greatest problem is that people, blinded by unquestioning faith in democracy as a perfect form of government, have transformed the idea of "civil rights" into the idea that no one can ever be told "no" in any way. But of course, if we as a society must say "yes" to every whim of every individual, then we are just turning everyone into slaves of each other. All societal interaction becomes a political struggle for power. No longer are we to consider for ourselves what is the right or wrong way to treat our fellow citizens, instead it is everyone against everyone. Every group against every group. Toxic- man against Feminist, Democrats against Republicans, White against POC, Religion against LGBTQ...Z, etc.
Eventually people will become so tired by the constant power struggle that they will see no reason to keep the country together. If we are lucky, the succession will be successful this time around, and will avoid too much blood shed. More likely, the succession will again be prevented by a radical growth in centralized power. And this time, the centralized power will not even pretend to be protecting the freedom of its citizens. After these current decades of political power struggle, since the citizenry will have have forgotten how to listen to their conscience and restrain their impulses against their fellow citizens, the centralized power will need to rule with an iron fist just to maintain peace. Our democracy will have burned out its short flame like all democracies that came before, and we will live under centuries of iron-fisted tyranny until that system too eventually crumbles. We will wish for the soft power of Monarchy as we suffer under the impersonal rule of a soulless dictatorship. We will have no consolation of shared ancestry with each other since this American experiment has destroyed all sense of shared pride and connection to our ancestors that had knit together nations before the modern world. Enjoy it while it lasts.
"Our democracy "... funny how the Founders tried deliberately to avoid such a system and its inevitable conclusion.
Sadly MaryLand (MD) is behind the times, and HSers have not been exposed to trans-gender for already 10 years? Here is forward-moving CA:
The proposed curriculum presents transgenderism and same-sex relationships as positive, viable options, that children can choose as early as five years old. The curriculum teaches children as young as pre-kindergarten that their parents “assigned” them a gender at birth and that a “spectrum” of genders exists.
Kindergarten includes age-appropriate books like My Princess Boy and The Great Big Book of Families.
Chapter 3 page 43. Students also learn about individual differences, including gender, from a very early age. Gender socialization begins before children start school
Students may believe that different norms are associated with people of particular genders by the time they enter kindergarten. While this understanding may be limited, students can still begin to challenge gender stereotypes in a way that is age appropriate. While students may not fully understand the concepts of gender expression and identity, some children in kindergarten and even younger have identified as transgender or understand they have a gender identity that is different from their sex assigned at birth. This may present itself in different ways including dress, activity preferences, experimenting with dramatic play, and feeling uncomfortable self-identifying with the sex assigned at birth.
A suggested first-grade book is Who are You?: The Kids Guide to Gender Identity, which presents students with the option that they can be “trans, genderqueer, non-binary, gender fluid, transgender, gender neutral, agender, neutrois, bigender, third gender, two-spirit ...” (Chapter 3, page 71)
Growth & Development, Grade 3, Page 116: When providing instruction on sexual and reproductive organs, teachers can introduce the concept that gender does not always match the sexual and reproductive organs described. For example, teachers may share, “In the classroom, we may use the term ‘female reproductive organs’ but some people who identify as male have these organs. The actual anatomical name for organs is utilized.

How is it that it is only with regard to gender that we are being required to accept fantasies about who you are as reality? Surely this is discriminatory against delusionists of other kinds, who are best labelled confused if not a little mad?

You sickos are why government educated children can't read, write, or do basic math, but are thoroughly indoctrinated into hate, socialism, and anti-scientific ideas about being able to change one's sexual chromosomes by mental choice and to feel entitled to make the rest of society complicit in such insanity.
"arbitrarily assigned gender at birth?" Arbitrarily? Are you serious ?
If you are doubt check your equipment bro (or sister), if you don't like it, have it surgically modified, in the mean time if you have the combination of 2 and 1, you are a dude. You don't? You are a chick, no matter what your distorted brain makes you believe, facts are facts, elemental biology is elemental biology.

(The interesting question is not about how laws will be enforced but whether those laws are based on real values or made up fantasies.)

Parents should *NOT* be allowed to do this!! Only state-certified doctors should be allowed to assign a sex/gender at birth, and/or defer it until the child is old enough to make an own informed decision (medicating puberty blockers if necessary).
