CULTURE Christian school quickly bails from athletic conf. over trans rules

“The conference maintains that it has always allowed athletes to compete on teams consistent with their gender identities,” CP’s Samuel Smith informed. “However, PVAC bylaws were not officially updated to include such wording until February.”

He went on to note that he believes boys competing as girls is more than just an inclusion or so-called “LGBT rights” issue.

“We believe that schools that allow boys to play on girls teams is a form of cheating,” Hornickel expressed, according to the school paper. “It gives them an advantage over girls teams who only play female athletes.”

Hornickel contends that letting biological boys compete with girls “undermines” Title IX protections – which are designed to provide women with more opportunities … not less.

“When guys identifying as transgendered girls begin making up the rosters of female teams, girls who otherwise could have started are now coming off the bench, and girls who were the reserves may not make the teams,” Hornickel informed The Washington Post.

This reasoning was attacked by Jemsby.

“I think he’s fundamentally missing the point that these aren’t boys dressing up as girls,” Jemsby barked in an interview conducted in her office, according to the school newspaper. “These are young people who believe they are trapped in the wrong body.”

Standing on the direct opposite side of the issue as Hornickel, Jemsby made it a point that WIS is clearly planted on the side of the LGBT regarding matters concerning transgender athletes, emphasizing that if the new pro-transgender policy did not pass, her school would have left the PVAC.

“We need to stand up for who we are,” Jemsby impressed. “It strikes me that in the year 2019 that we’re not able to resolve these things in favor of students is just insane.”

Then they’re mentally ill and deserve treatment.

I agree with you; but, the current state of the Psychiatric profession means that the "help" agrees that they are stuck in a "wrong" body and will go along with the delusional rantings of the patient.

What gets me, is that the rest of us are now being forced to also go along on the crazy train, or, face punishments. Case in point: using the wrong pronoun. People are getting in trouble for not using the "correct" pronoun that the nutty people have come up with.

I am now a refuse-nik. I refuse to go along with this circus. I will use the pronouns I have always used. I will not be cowed by these infantile nut-jobs.

My twenty-something nephew is afflicted with that illness and has decided that he is in the wrong body, dresses girly and wants to be called Tara. I do not comply. Some other family members are upset when I point out that promoting a mental defect does the kid no good. In his early teens he was all boy; we attended his Eagle Scout ceremony. I wonder if a homosexual scout leader "turned" him.
