It had been a relatively quiet policy debate until the full-page ad appeared in the 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.
It appears to have worked. More than 100 community members flooded a meeting this week near Minneapolis, and thousands more sent e-mails. In response, the quasi-public body governing high school sports in Minnesota decided to delay a vote on a new policy covering sports participation by transgender students. Members of the board of directors said they needed more time to study the issue.

The answer, starting from this crazy premise, is they should only be on teams that are already defined as co-ed.
We live in a “sexy” world today. Toothpaste, shampoo, shoes, cars, you name it, everything is “sexy.” No wonder the kids are messed up.
These children, and their crazy parents, should be in intense counseling.
Transgenderism Is A Mental Illness, Not A Civil Rights Issue
Dodgeballs.
When the doctor says "it's a boy!" that's a statement of fact, not an assignation.
LOL
Or if a kid wanted to compete in the Westminster Dog Show would liberals support that too? "He identifies as a purebred poodle, he has a right to compete!"
An observation even.
I think they should be into “water sports.”
Ya know what I mean....wink.....wink.....wink.
The Left has to push this agenda ad absurdum. If they don't and Americans catch on that "transgenderism" is a mental illness, where does that put homosexuality?
That poodle obviously has issues. I imagine the owners do as well.
Yes. Any self-respecting poodle would have torn out the throat of anyone giving him a haircut like that.
Showing with chicks and being a basketball star on the girls team (even though I couldn’t make the guys team).
Can’t say I wouldn’t mind going back to high school these days.
Exactly! LOL
Next, the transgender born a girl but wants to dress as a boy, who plays on the boys’ team will sue for discrimination because the reason he/she isn’t starting is OBVIOUSLY because he/she is transgender. Meanwhile, the girls’ team (formerly known as the mens’ JV team), will be taking the state title.
“Transgenderism Is A Mental Illness, Not A Civil Rights Issue”...
Nothing more needs to be said as the above statement says it all.
* must be accompanied by any lunatics responsible for same
The way in which this is worded strikes me as very odd. The preceding words to it too, which make it sound if you can just "choose" your sex, like picking a channel on a television set. That is not the way nature works, leftists.
NONE.
All sports federations leagues etc have rules against performance enhancing drugs because it can provide an unfair advantage to a person or team. The same should apply to male student being on female teams and female student being on male teams.
You are going to find more males in high school over 6 feet then females. So would not 2-3 of them being on the female volleyball team be an advantage? The reason this is wrong and a terrible idea are legion!
