Irish dancers stand up for trans competitors amid backlash against teen trans dancer

A group of Irish dancers is voicing support for trans competitors in response to backlash following a trans teen’s victory in a recent competition held by the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America (IDTANA) Southern Region.

“We, the Irish dancing community, voice our unequivocal support for transgender dancers and for these dancers to continue competing as their true selves in the category that best aligns with their gender identity,” states a Change.org petition started by Connecticut-based adult Irish dancer Gabrielle Siegel. “We recognize the right of transgender dancers to succeed in our sport, and celebrate their wins without exception.”

The petition emphasized that success in Irish dance is “a multi-factorial result upon which no assigned birth sex can confer a biological advantage” and that it goes even beyond the current scientific research that concludes trans athletes do not have significant advantages in sports after hormone replacement therapy.

The group condemned bullying, harassment, and abuse of any trans dancers and affirmed that “transgender dancers who win or see other significant success in Irish dancing competitions do so based on their hard work towards the demanding ideals of our art and sport, just as any dancer, and we celebrate their right to succeed.”

OK, seems to be an easy fix, just have one category in Irish Dance, don't divide by sex.

The Godless Reprobate Liberal Media likes to push this agenda.

(voice our unequivocal support for transgender dancers)

No such thing as a transgender dancer exists on the face of this Earth 🌎🌍.

It is a biological male or female pretending to be something else.

That’s the fact, Jack!

They may well change their tune if they continuously win competition after competition.

Besides that though, they face no danger of depriving them of a scholarship for their dancing.

But let these transgenders win every competition, and I can almost guarantee that they will change their tune, sooner rather than later.

Make them change outfits in the same dressing room with them also. Let them feel the full exposure of acceptance.

Yup, they are just a bunch of pretenders. Some deeply mentally ill, others making a game out of it to see how far they can go or what they can destroy.

Regardless, it’s morally and biologically wrong.

I like how they call Irish dancing a “sport.” Hilarious!
