Opinions on todays transgender players?

MarkM said:
Setting aside those who are transgender, would it be fair to everyone involved to allow boys to start signing up and participating in girls' leagues? Maybe it would - I don't know. Although I think that going co-ed could lead to the near elimination of women in sports, something no one wants to see happen.

But if you do think it would be unfair, why does it become fair because someone transitions? I think that that is the basic question that lingers. Can someone answer that without calling me a bigot or claiming that I hate transgender people?

I think this would largely depend on the definition of the word 'transitioned'. If you stick to its classic definition, which is the same definition the medical community uses (as far as I know), it would imply that 'he' is no longer 'he' & is now in fact a 'she'... Some would argue that 'he' was never a 'he' in the first place & was simply born with a defect, kind of like a 6th toe...
 
Everyone is assuming it would be one what if the team was 6 transgendered ? Could a player play one weekend on the boys team and the next as a guest on the girls team? If you aren't allowed to question for fear of being labeled,as a homophobe or bigot then there is no control.

Why do you people try to make things so complicated? You over think and over analyze everything.

'You people'??? J/k

Details are important. You're making an argument & words you choose demonstrate your position, understanding & ability to be see the other POV. Refering to a transitioned female as 'he' or 'it' is considered offensive. So, when one leads their argument w/ an offensive statement, the other side gets to ignore the rest Just my opinion...

Because I think it is an adult's job to make a child feel loved and welcomed, not like an outcast. Transgender kids are going through enough without adults bullying them out of playing a team sport.

One player = one player card... there are rules about playing for more than 1 team...

Who cares how many transgender children are on a team? If they feel safe, and are happy, how does that hurt you?

And girl can guest on a boys team. What's the big deal?

Here are some numbers about % of general populations.
https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla....ntify-as-Transgender-in-the-United-States.pdf

All states are well below 1%. If you see a team w 30-50% transgender players, feel free to inquire, doubt anyone would call you a biggot for asking about a statistical outlier...

Given that the # is 0.5% how many have you seen playing? Why do you think that is?

Chargerfan... you really like to assume, don't you. You're also filled with hate towards people who don't think like you. Iron curtain and I don't agree but you are injecting hate into it. Sad....

But this is hypothetical so maybe it's you that is offended when there is no reason to be. We are just talking about something that might happen.

LOL - of course!!!! Every single thing you read you should see who wrote it & if it is considered a credible source, credibility is earned not assumed...

Really? So you read the article, considered the source and deemed it not worthy? Or was it that it did not agree with your narrative...
