Boy who identifies as girl competing in girl's track (1 Viewer)

massraider said:
Playing athletics in high school under whatever gender you identify isn't a birthright.

There's no way to make everyone happy, but if an athlete is a boy in almost every way except in his/her mind, I don't think she should be allowed to participate in athletics.  We're gonna make a bunch of girls unhappy, at several schools, to make one kid happy. That doesn't make sense to me.

How's that for a liberal viewpoint?

I'm a liberal and I agree. I don't think this is a question of just showing a little decency and common sense like most other transgender issues- including transgender men competing in most sports as men, which I support. It's far more complicated.

That's because you don't have the guts to say it, and own it.

Instead, you imply and infer, and go right up to the point of actually spitting it out, so you can gutlessly make posts like the one above, where you can pretend you haven't made your feelings known.  

What an obvious, obtuse little man.

Obtuse!  One of my favorite Lefty insults.  Makes you sound smart.   :thumbup:

Oh Limpy.  Embarrassing effort.  You are t very good at this.   :thumbdown:

Speaking of embarrassing efforts, what in the hell are you even trying to get at with this response? I laughed at something that was comical. Didn't try to add to it, nor take away from it. Simply an acknowledgement of something that was humorous.

Oh well, great discussion guys (and gals). To summarize, I think the solution we landed on is to stop having sports associated with the educational system.  Sounds good to me.

Forgive me but I have to get back to work now.  I think for the rest of the day I'm going to identify as President of the company.    :thumbup:

:lmao: nice guy higgs shares some of his personal life with the forum and sleazy forum guy tries to use it against him when he post stuff he doesn't agree with.  This was the same guy that had a moral outrage heart attack just the other day on here, but it turns out that was all theater because clearly he isn't a moral person.

I will add another one: disingenuous

Which is what you are after starting this thread and then making a statement like this:

I agree with your ultimate position here, but people who take that position should probably think about being respectful and calling people what they want to be called (ie transgender women, not "trangendered dudes") if they want to have a productive discussion about it.  Refusing someone's preferred gender identity makes it seem like your argument is about slighting transgenders rather than dealing with the tougher issues of what's in the best interests of all kids.  Just my :2cents:

I agree I should be more sensitive but in the sports arena, on paper and in competition, they are males.  If I identify as a woman tomorrow and clown my sister in a game of pickup basketball, it's a pretty demoralizing sleight to her and me both to portray it as some sort of relevant achievement.

I'm sure this thread will go better than the last ones on the same topic.

The last one was really informative for a little bit. 

@Dedfin I posted that same article in the other thread. It's a fascinating topic imo. 

We all agree that this rule in Connecticut is pretty bad, right? It can't just be about how you identify. 

I don't agree with everyone belittling the importance of high school sports. Are there bigger problems facing the world today? Yes, of course. But if you are going to have rules they might as well make some sense.

Not really. In fact it seems pretty black and white to me. Boys run with boys, girls run with girls. 

####### insane isn't it?

No, oddly enough, my daughter is grounded enough that she enjoys improving her best times, and sees that as a worthwhile challenge.  She does not define herself by "winning" swim meets.

Of all the wacky left-wing nonsense I've heard in my life this takes the cake. The party of women's rights advocating for males to be allowed to compete in female athletics and have access to their locker rooms - unreal  :lmao:

 
My favorite part of this is all the conservatives rushing into this thread as fast as they can to take a position that a large majority of people, including many liberals, agree with.  Meanwhile we can't get a single poster to defend Donald Trump on substance. 

You guys are the FFA equivalent of a genetic male who wants to play sports against women.

Ladies and gentlemen, just incase you didn't already think RBM was one of the biggest jagoffs on these boards, he just made his closing argument

There are still some libs out there that haven't totally lost their minds. The loudmouths here are not in that sect though.

He said boys with boys and girls with girls, not mentally unstable boys running with girls that we refuse to get treatment for, but instead exploit for political gains.

There's no crying involved here. Its a jagoff move to call out his daughter for bettering herself and I'm calling it out as such.

Maybe if you'd practiced what she does you wouldn't be the racist, narrow-minded filth that you are.

DRINK!   :banned:

 
This is so fookin' dumb...

used to be, when guys sued until Title IX to play with the women, the women actually complained. 

Forget it. Desegregate the sports!  #### Title IX!

I'm quite surprised it took this long for Trump to get in this thread. 

FINALLY!

You're the one calling out the admirable behavior of a 12 year old girl on a message board and someone else is the nutjob?

FFS how can you possibly keep getting more and more ignorant?
