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.”

Makes FR look like it’s peddling this junk when I see so much of it here. Frankly I don’t give a crap about any of them. Teens have no business with this junk planted in their heads - and those putting it out there should be in jail.

I wonder what Micheal Fitzkpatrick and Patrickfitzmicheal think of all of this. Looks like Bud Light has something new to sponsor.

Great point. Fake AKA trans women can declare themselves women all they want, but if men’ve been magically transformed into the opposite sex, why aren’t fake AKA transgender men competing against real men? Because men are stronger & faster than women, even after taking estrogen.

Satan is certainly sowing confusion on planet Earth 🌎🌍 these days. Attacking the most basic design of Almighty God - a man and a woman - the core building block of society. Only fools accept and promote such basic error.

Belief in the outrageously absurd must be a necessary component for them to believe in the coming Antichrist.

Satan is certainly preparing the world 🌎🌍 for the debut of his Antichrist - the spirit of antichrist is empowering the godless reprobates 🐐🐐🐐

The sheep 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 and the goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 are being divided like never before.

In fact, The False Prophet has already appeared.

Well, if that insight is going abroad, they probably got it from Robin Bullock or myself. Oddly enough, we both made public that revelation on about the same day.

***I think it will be someone even worse than Frankie***

I'm sorry; 'Frankie' who? 🤔
Incidentally, I am impressed with your grahics! 😌

(’Frankie’ who? 🤔)

Pope-a-Dope Frankie 😬😬😁😁😜

(Incidentally, I am impressed with your graphics! 😌)

Thank you very much 👍👍👍.

My prayer(s) is(are) that it provides an easy way for people to learn something about the Word of God that they might not know AND (hopefully) provide an easy way to share it with their family members and acquaintances that may not be familiar with the Scriptures.

Which then hopefully they will learn more and get Saved. AND repeat the process.

In other words, I’m attempting to sow seeds of The Faith of Jesus Christ all around the world 🌍 through the Internet and I’m grateful to JimRob for putting up with my crazy antics. 😆

Some of the memes have been far more successful than I ever imagined. It’s a work in progress.

Others have made the basic images - I just try to add Scripture and hopefully we both will rejoice in the Lord’s Harvest.

On I continue, imperfect wretched servant that I am.

It helps me to hang on to / exercise my Faith as a side benefit too.


John 4:35-36
New King James Version

35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
