Parents are planning on pulling their daughters off a Wisconsin high school sports team after a male has been allowed to compete..
About 50 parents and athletes within Green Bay Area Public School District met with officials Thursday who told them that a male would be allowed to compete on a high school sports team and potentially use locker rooms on the basis of gender identity rather than biological sex
...
With tryouts starting Monday, some girls do not plan to attend over concerns for their physical safety.
...
“The girls are just kind of fed up hearing that your safety is our top concern from all these people and they’re really doing nothing about it,” Ryan Gusick, a parent with a daughter on the sports team..
The name of the school and the sport is not being named by local outlets reporting the story for safety concerns.
In the meeting, the district told the parents that the male student would be allowed to compete on the team if the student meets Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association regulations, which requires male-to-female transgender athletes take testosterone suppression therapy for at least one year, NBC 26 reported. The school district’s transgender policy states that students should not be kept from participating in sports and that students looking to compete on the basis of gender identity will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
“The Green Bay Area Public School District cares about the well-being of every student,” the school district said in a statement to the outlet. “All decisions regarding a student’s ability to participate in co-curricular athletics/activities are made in accordance with Title IX law, Board policy, and WIAA regulations.”
Throughout the country, parents, school boards and lawmakers are debating whether sports teams should be separated on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity; in Virginia, the high school sports authority announced that it will reject recent state guidance which requires sports teams to be separated on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity. Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill that prevents men from competing on women’s sports teams in college.
“I think it really reaffirmed the fact that they’re just not going to play,” Gusick told NBC 26 following the meeting with the district. “They’re too concerned mostly about the locker room situation in itself, and the safety concern.”
‘When I was a kid, and not all that long ago...’
when I was a schoolkid, and it was a long time ago, we dreamed of having girls in our locker rooms and showers...
but I get it; girls are different about stuff like that...
‘It can also make school years a LIVING HELL for un-athletic students.’
what nonsense; the large majority of school kids are not playing on the school sports teams; they’re all in a state of living hell....?
what does make schools a nightmare are asshole kids, and I think there’s always going to be asshole kids aplenty...
Boycotting over safety concerns kind of misses the point, but, as you say, it’s a good start.
I never liked sports in school.. They were a waste of time for me as I was not good at anything. Now as I am a senior citizen and talking to some old classmates, I find out that they have aches & pains I don’t have as a result of not being on the football team,etc. I’m not a bit sorry for not going out for sports. Another bad thing about it was the humiliation you feel when they are choosing up sides for teams in sports & you were always picked last. Sometimes it took awhile to get over that even after you graduated.
The writer of post 22 posted a statement that blunts the thread and shunts the argument against transgenderism in school sports to one of...well we must maintain sports in schools no matter what, even if we have to live with it. Read it yourself!
So let Nittany answer for himself then as to what he meant. If my take was off, I’ll eat humble pie!
No. You don’t know everybody, or every situation. Phys. Ed. and sports ruined school for me.
Back in “the day” this boy would get his asp kicked by the males. Are there no balls remaining in this high school?
Where are the men?
Some people need an ass kicking.
Crazy eyes.
Let the perverted tranny be in the team all by himself and let the libtards look like the POS they are
That's part of growing up.
Unfortunately, that's now why they give out Participation Trophies to the tender sissies like you.
Should have done this from the start. NEVER compete, walk away and let them wrestle, jump, run, swim, bounce a ball, whatever by themselves. Just walk the f%#k away.
I see only 2 options to fix this perverted crap that’s going on
1 ABOLISH the Public School system as we know it
2. Make it a 20 Year FELONY and REMOVAL of the minor children from the home for any Public Employee or any Family Member of a Public Employee to send their Minor Children to any school other than the public school in their area.
Answer is simple—No females should pay on a team with “Trans-Sexuals” (Boys) Just walk out and let the whole team go male. Sorry girls, your betters have deemed you worthless in sports.
FINALLY !!!!!
They all need to quit and those in other schools need to refuse to compete!
We have to remember that almost most female sports (with some notable exceptions such as UConn Women’s basketball) are money-losing enterprises for high schools and colleges. So, the schools don’t really care if there are no spectators or if they don’t have enough players to make a team. So, an athlete and spectator rebellion may not be very effective. But there is a voting box somewhere that can be used to control school boards or the politicians that appoint them.
