Women’s team with five transgender players ‘broke opponent’s

This was inevitable unless you deny reality, biology, and logic.  The beginning of the end of males in female sports has started.  Glad logic prevailed in the postmodern world where supposedly there is no absolute truth.   As always the far left pushed too far and the average American doesn't agree and they got slapped back into place.  The right gets slapped back as well when they reach too far.

Nah not really.  Will there people that will be able to cheat?  Of course.  That doesn't mean that the rules to keep males out of female sports won't work.  There are laws and rules people break and cheat all the time (like steroids).

Honestly there will be a paper trail of any birth certificate changes and if not that there will be friends/family that will know what went down that would probably go public, and finally I'm sorry but no matter how much a person tries to be the other sex, we all know or suspect when a person is dressing like the other sex because no matter how much surgery, clothing, makeup you do 90%+ of the trans folks are still going to look like their biological sex.  The very few that might be able to get away with it well they will get away with it, but I suggest that will be few and far between in any given situation due to all the reasons above, and for someone to get away with it on the HS Championship, Collegiate or Professional level will be 0 most likely because you get more scrutiny the higher the level you play.

That's one of them. The other isn't as well known.

Ortho surgeon here. Don’t buy the broken leg story as legit issue here. People break their legs all of the time. I fixed a 6’5” 270+lbs goalkeeper whose leg was broken by a 5’8” 150lbs forward who slid into him. So this trans woman breaking someone else’s leg is BS. Could have happened to anyone.
Whatever people think about the rest of the story, just know that the broken leg part is nonsensical.

Come on, seriously? Sure, the situation you’re describing can & does happen occasionally, but you have to admit it’s much more likely for a larger person to injure a smaller person in a game, or any specific collision. That’s like saying you’ve seen plenty of people injured in wrecks that didn’t involve a drunk driver, so blaming drunk driving for bad wrecks is “nonsensical”.

I read “two GA clubs” on the GA soccer forum.. then I realize it meant Girls Academy not Georgia.

I don’t feel like I have standing to say anything in judgment. No personal experience other than knowing two families with trans kids (and my 19 year old knows a handful as well). I’m mostly sympathetic toward them. They’re not having an easy time at all. None of the ones I know are remotely close to leveraging their status to win a sport. I really wonder how this topic gains any momentum.. it mostly seems like grasping at straws.

I think your lack of understanding and empathy is gross, pathetic, and disGusting. Free spelling tip for you, though, G.

Yea, don't care...

Just saying the things everyone is thinking but are too afraid tto say out loud.

Ping me when your daughter has gone through playing against transgender m2f biological boys.

Ironically my kid plays on a boys Futsal team and most of the players are 1-2 years older.

Why would you complain about trans players and then have your player voluntarily play with boys? Or is your issue not with any of the "biological advantages" but rather something deeper?

Not everyone thinks the way you do.

82% of trans individuals think about committing suicide, and 40% attempt suicide. This is a statistic that is often ignored when talking about trans kids in sports. The USWNT receives pushback for their "protect trans kids" initiatives, but this is what they are talking about. Sports saves lives, soccer saves lives. Soccer has always been more than just a game of winning or losing. Soccer builds communities and offers itself as a safe place for those who need it most. Stripping that from a child is unimaginable to me. If letting a trans child play with or against my daughter is what keeps another parent's child with them. If that's what brings even a moment of normalcy into their child's life, then there's not a second thought.

Sure, some players or parents may take advantage of an inclusive system, but that's a risk I'm willing to take because there is an irreversible risk that accompanies exclusion.

I don't know what your daughter went through playing against trans players, but I have a feeling that it is not comparable to the pain and suffering that trans people go through on a daily basis (yes, they exist outside of sports). I know I won't change your mind, but to any parents reading this who are on the fence about trans children playing, please remember: 99% of trans players, especially children, just want to play. They're not looking for trophies or places in the hall of fame, they just want to live. We should let them.

My daughter plays with and against boys, too. She's at the age were you see the differences in aggression and all that, but physically they're still all roughly the same. That'll change soon, but I'll continue to allow as long she can continue hang physically. She's pretty physically and athletically gifted, so that will probably last a while longer than the majority of her female teammates.

I don't see why just because my daughter specifically is more equipped to handle that, does that mean I cannot have the opinion that natural born males playing with females is not a good idea.

I totally agree with you that we need to find a safe, inclusive space for these people to play. We don't need to start pushing people out of their own spaces to do that though. You can love and care for someone without giving into their every whim. And my heart truly does go out to trans people, it's a tough lot in life. But there are just some things you cannot completely accommodate, and this is unfortunately one of them.

There has been a huge uptick in testicular injuries in women's sports. Interestingly, no change in the rate of ovarian issues in men's sports.

Transgenderism should be treated as the mental illness it is. It's the new Goth, combined with weak (or bad) parenting, grooming at school and in the media, and is going to result in serious mental health and elevated self-harm rates for these kids in the future. It's really sad. There is a definite sub-set of parents that want the status symbol of a non-binary or trans kid. Crazy.

And yes, it's really rough being a kid, typically a middle schooler, grappling with sexuality. They need better support, not secret grooming. It's ok to be gay - you don't have to try and be another gender.

I'm going to ignore the conspiracy theories that you casually tossed into your comment. 

More men play sports than women on a global scale so there will always be more trans women in sports than trans men. Also, leagues like the NWSL are more inclusive to trans athletes so trans men may decide to not receive testosterone treatments and continue to play in that league. For example, Quinn on the Canadian National Team and Seattle Reign FC. 

Any uptick in trans people is because younger generations have the tools to correctly identify themselves now.

Per your other comment, trans people are not committing suicide simply because they are trans. They are committing suicide because parts of society deny their existence. For boys: If you are a feminine boy, you get treated horribly (Jared McCain and Caleb Williams are two examples in sports). If you transition to become a woman, you get treated horribly. There's no winning for those who want to exist peacefully outside of normal gender roles.  

Only my first paragraph was sarcasm.  The next two paragraphs are dead accurate.

I'm sorry you're part of the reality distortion field.

If someone is bi-polar, I don't deny their existence, I suggest they seek treatment.  If someone is depressed, we suggest treatment.  Should be the same with gender dysphoria.
