how about no

I don’t like it

I don’t have to like it

I don’t have to accept insanity as normal

For what it's worth, FIFA has American Samoa ranked 198th in the world, above Andorra, Eritrea, Somalia, Macau, Djibouti, Cook Islands, Anguilla, Bhutan, San Marino, and Turks and Caicos Islands.

“I cried my eyes out.”

Welcome to life, where not everyone will accept you or approve of you. So what's the solution? Whine and complain until someone makes them like you and accept you. Bring everyone down to your level.

"I don't have to accept insanity as normal"

Thanks, that's a keeper.

“Because sex change procedures are not generally available in American Samoa, practitioners usually retain their male physiology while assuming the societal role of a female.”

HERESY

Why do they feel the need to parade yet another mentally diseased freak out every time there is some newsworthy development? It’s like they look at the day’s news (world cup soccer) and then look through their directory to see if they have a pervert for that one.

"Although Saeula’s Samoan teammates were generally accepting of his effeminate looks and behavior, he encountered resistance when he tried out for the men’s soccer team at the University of Hawaii, where he is studying dance."

Dance? Really? Engineering and Accounting programs all filled up?

[NewCenturions]

We don’t encourage these messed up people to seek help any more. Now everyone has to accept their deviancy as good.

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

Maybe calling the ‘freaks’ is part of the problem. You don’t blame someone who is mentally ill for having delusions, but you can hold the medical establishment accountable for indulging those delusions and forcing everybody else to accept them as fact.

[YourAdHere]

That’ll go over great in Iraq.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

What you learn from these stories is that these cross-dressers go back and forth and back and forth over whether to be men or women. It is a mental illness and should be treated as such, not some expression of personal preference. If this guy claimed he was a knight and wanted to play soccer in a suit of armor, would they let him?

[IronJack]

In any but an amoral tribal society, Saelula would be considered a freak and a deviant. I hope he gets booed off the pitch.

[BykrBayb]

Mentally ill people who seek treatment should not be taunted and called names. But if they refuse treatment, and put on a freak show that normal people are forced to attend, they are freaks.

“I didn’t know the significance it had on the world because in Polynesian culture it’s not that big of an issue.”

Yes, well, yet another reason why the world doesn’t think much of Polynesian “culture.”

Now that might get me to watch soccer!

[Thommas]

Saeula dialed back the dosage on his hormones and postponed his transition. “I didn’t want to be too soft on the field, or play at my lowest potential,” he told Vice News.

The win was so exciting that Saeula decided to put off his sex-change surgery and keep playing for another four years.

When you have a choice in how to lead your sexual proclivities, how is that genetic? When your choice does not conform with the general society, let alone the reproductive one, how is it not abnormal?

I think that Western Civilization is inexorably adopting the cross-dressing (e.g., Muommar Khadafi) pederastic culture of the Arab Muslims, making our assimilation all the easier.

[heartwood]

Samoan culture is healthier than Western. They may have fa’afafine but at least they don’t castrate them.

[Thommas]

I see your point. But, here the victim of a (formerly) mental disorder wants to be castrated..
