Transgender kids to play sports as what gender they identify with...

[jipped genes]

TweetMinnesota state highschool league decided that a transgender kid should play sports with whatever sex they identify with. can you imagine a 220# 6'5" powerforward who thinks he is a girl plowing through a bunch of teen girls to dunk on them?

HAHAHAHA! this is taking political correctness way far and beyond stupidity. just take the damn signs off the locker rooms too. unisex from now on.

what the hell is wrong with folk?



The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) voted to approve the new guidelines for transgender students in sports. The policy will go into effect for the 2015-2016 school year.

The latest draft defines transgender students and would allow them to participate in activities in line with their gender identity after turning in a confidential written request to their school. Any appeals would be handled by the league, and private schools would be exempt under state and federal law.

"I think the difficult part has been getting everyone together to understand what the issues are," said MSHSL Executive Director Dave Stead, "Because everyone comes from a different perspective."

So many, in fact, that the league got 10,000 emails about the issue this fall, and Wednesday heard more opinions.

"If a student knows the policy is there they will know they belong," said State Rep. Barb Yarusso, whose son is transgender. "They will know they are welcome."

Board members are working to answer key questions: How do kids identify as male or female? Should a policy be mandatory statewide or decided by each Minnesota school?

"I have great trepidation seeing this played out at the local school district level," said MSHSL Board Member Deb Pauly.

Critics of the policy bought full page ads in several Minnesota newspapers, saying letting transgender kids play sports is unsafe and unfair.

"It's not a perfect policy but it's a good first step," said Allison Yocum, of Transforming Minnesota Families. "And I think it'll pass tomorrow and I think that's a victory for Minnesota."

A study by the National Center for Lesbian Rights says only about five transgender students in the entire country ask each year to be on a team of the opposite sex.

The MSHSL league agrees it's a very rare situation, but says it wants to make sure sports are fair and accessible to everyone.

TweetI would imagine that would be a confusing, as well as difficult, issue for a kid. I don't think I agree that they should be able to choose though.

TweetWe need to go back to these kids being weeded out by the old "only strongest survive". I don't believe in this crap and I think we are pushing this stuff down kids throats.

Tweetsex shouldnt matter but if it is say girls gymnastics or girls basketball then a boy that thinks he is a girl should be banned. now how in the hell does a child decide that he isnt a male or a female? a child is a child and has no freaking clue about these issues. i say until you are 18 then you are what you were born as and once you turn 18 then you can be whatever the hell you want. our society is screwed up and this is a prime example of the begining of our demise

TweetThis is asinine. They say they are doing this to make it fair? How is a boy playing on a girls basketball team fair? This politically correct crap is getting utterly ridiculous

[biggio]

TweetThis gives boy to girls a unfair advantage. I wonder if the Olympics and College sports will allow a dude in a wig to participate in female sport???? Hell they have a shit fit over PEDS. Dont girl to guys jack a lot of T??? Then again I dont see Chaz Bono on any males team at all.

Tweeteverybody should get a trophy mentality.

sure a kid should be able to play what sport they want but do you think a 130# gal could play football at the highschool level? HELL NO. they would be crushed regardless of what gender they identify as.

males and females are different.

this is a case of the .1% effecting the 99.9% negatively. and the 99.9% will get it rammed down their throats.

TweetAt first i thought the story was talking about ppl whove had the gender reassignment surgery lol

Yea if a kid is born that way, what the hell are you going to do ya know?

TweetI think there is to much of a advantage of boy playing a girl sport. Give me break im sorry but we don't need to worry so much about every little thing in this country that might piss someone off. Do you think that this country is so much better than 40 yrs ago? In some ways yes but in terms of our youth and their feeling of entitlement no.

TweetThe Male Body is physically 10-15% faster when it comes to reflexes... It is a joke.. There is a transgender mma fighter Knocking women senseless and it is for no other reason than she has an unfair advantage.. It will get someone hurt.. if these so called womenists really cared about women the first thing you'd think they would do is stop a man from getting his dick cut off so he can legally beat the shit out of them.
