A question for schools: Which sports teams should transgender students play on?
The Washington Post ^ | October 6, 2014 | Kirby Lee

Posted on 10/06/2014 5:45:45 AM PDT by detective

It had been a relatively quiet policy debate until the full-page ad appeared in Sunday’s local newspaper. “A male wants to shower beside your 14-year-old daughter,” it said. “Are you OK with that?”

The ad, placed by a socially conservative group in Minnesota, was meant to snap attention to a proposal to allow transgender students to play on teams based on their preferred gender rather than the sex assigned to them at birth.

The leftist education establishment and the homosexual advocates are aggressively pushing vulnerable young people to declare themselves transgender. They can then play on girls teams and shower with young girls.

The public schools are trying to promote homosexuality and gender confusion at a young age. They are trying to create sexual confusion that will cause these people problems for the rest of their lives.

Chess team.

No sport that involves a contest of physical ability should be transgender. There is a reason guys have to bat opposite hand in coed softball.

They should play on NO sports teams. PHOOEY!!!!

Better yet, we should get ALL “gay” (LGBT) propaganda out of public schools, and off of our streets!!!!

And “churches” that promote the LGBT agenda should be declared not to be churches at all, and lose their tax exemptions!

All XY students play on boys teams (and use boys restrooms/locker rooms). All XX students play on girls teams (and use girls restrooms/locker rooms).

Pretty simple really. It doesn’t matter how teh body has been mutiliated, a boy is a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl is a girl. Genetics doesn’t lie.

(sigh). You'd think by now I wouldn't have to say but it looks I do.

It's time to take your kids out of government run schools, people.

I know it might prove to be a financial hardship on you to send them to private schools or homeschool them but isn't your child's future worth it?

Commence excuses.

“I just didn’t feel like I was accepted anywhere in athletics,” said Jae Bates, 18, a student at the University of Puget Sound in Washington who graduated from a Minnesota high school. Bates had been active in soccer, swimming and track but dropped the first two after coming out as male just prior to his junior year. He remained on the girls’ track team, in part because the coach was an adviser to his school’s gay-straight alliance.”

They are so politically correct they can’t even report this crap so someone can keep the genderwhatevers straight.

Soccer. It’s basically a transgendered activity already.

Which team ? The one whose genitalia matches theirs. Uncomfortable ? Don’t go out for the team: it’s nowhere CLOSE to mandatory. ..

I think I remember the East German female Olympic teams having a problem in this area back in the 70’s

Yeah, it’d have to be a sport without balls.

A fair solution to this is: you get to decide what gender you are at 18, and we’ll recognize it after surgery to match the gender.
If a child cannot get a tan without parental permission until 18 and no tattoos because it is life altering, you don’t get to alter your gender or identity or biology until 18. Then, as an adult, we can’t keep you from screwing up, but when you alter the anatomy to fit the mind, you can be that gender. But a man in a dress is still a man, and a woman in a suit is still a woman.
Then we avoid the “my five year old son wants to be my daughter” and boys capable of impregnating girls sharing quarters with them.

Long past time actually. Sending your kid to a public school is bordering on child abuse.

Why, oh why, do we still permit public schools to exist?

“There is our local public school. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”
