No. Its over
I have a name that can be for boys or girls. For some reason, most people assume it’s a girl’s name and act accordingly.
When I was a kid, my parents signed me up for basketball. Someone thought it was a mistake for a person with my name to be on the boys team and moved me to the girls team, without telling me or my parents. I will never forget the embarrassment when I showed up to the first practice. I quit on the spot and didn’t play basketball after that.
I like specifying the pronouns.
We as a society treat children like shit.
Yea but have you met children??
/s
The problem is that we refuse to take responsibility for brats and treat nervous kids like shit instead. And they can’t even speak up cuz they’re kids.
I don’t know who ‘we’ is, but it does happen 100,000x on smaller scales with shitty parents. I’m sure it’d be a different story if 90% of adults wouldn’t get in trouble for parenting someone else’s kids these days to make up for the shitty parents.
It’s not just parents. Schools play a huge role as well.
Eh. Schools are directly beholden to laws regulating how much anyone can have input on a child. All of the helicopter parents are directly fucking over school staff for disciplining the trouble students who have no idea what authority even means, let alone what police can do to them should they start to genuinely fuck around.
We should both understand how the autistic and otherwise socially aware and perhaps anxious children behave. They might see segregation. They might see quite a lot of chiding asshole teachers, but so long as we allow words to be spoken and shared in honesty, they should have a navigable time through the scholastic system.
Idk how it is in your country but schools can very much expel brats in mine.
A bunch of anti-trans ballot initiatives passed and a bunch of transphobic dems got elected.
I didn’t see any anti-trans ballot initiatives; there were a few school sports initiatives, and trans can still compete whenever they’d like.
They just don’t get to pick their team. Like everybody else.
p.s. I’ve already been banned in another unrelated sub for this very post. Always remember, if you tell the truth, keep one foot in the stirrup! I forgive you, person
Go away with your weird, annoying passive aggressive conservative bullshit.
I like reality, where trans women can play sports fairly with cis women because every study that relies on measurements (like real grown ups use) shows that trans women should absolutely compete on the womens and trans mens on the mens.
But for me, it’s deeper than that because frankly enbies deserve to play a game. You’re lame for defending stupid sports scholarships and the entire “school sports ecosystem”. These are all childrens games. The fact you talk with so much vitriol about trans people because of a game shows you have USELESS priorities.
Trans rights are human rights.
Unfortunately women athletes disagree with you
Hey, hey! I’m a woman athlete, and I think you should stfu. Trans rights are human rights.
First woman I’ve met who supports it. Out of curiosity you would be okay entering competitions where you have no chance of winning?
Sure, I do it all the time. Turns out, volleyball has a real advantage for height. Should we ban all women over 6ft from playing volleyball? Being that tall is inherently unfeminine. Or maybe we should just ban any women who are too good at sports? Women are supposed to be gentle and soft, not aggressive! Get those aggressive, competative, manly women outta here.
The situation you’re talking about is rare enough to be negligible compared to the number of people excluded from women in sports communities for no reason. And honestly, for the VAST majority of athletes, playing sports is about community and inclusion, not accolades.
You speak for all women athletes?
Do you? You’re assuming they have no problem with it.
Unfortunately women athletes disagree with you
Pretty sure you were attempting to speak for all women a few hours ago. Guess you aren’t familiar with this kind of push back when you crawl out from your fucking hole in the wall and encounter real life other people and not your bot laden incel movement.
if you can’t see how “forced genital inspections” is blatantly anti-trans i’m not really sure how to help you. this is going to result in the tiny number of transgender girls in sports being kicked or shamed off their teams, while simultaneously making things very uncomfortable for all the cis girls who will also be forced to undergo regular genital inspections. and for what?
the fact that these passed, in supposedly “woke” states, is not only awful in and of itself, but also sets a terrifying precedent for things to come.
“opponents of the initiative say…”
yeah, people say a lot of things. but sex can be tested using a cheek swab.
But it won’t, because if that’s what anyone involved with this was actually worried about then they would be doing that already during a regular physical exam during which they already take a cheek swab. That doesn’t need a referendum.
This is about trans exclusion and making schoolgirls flip up their skirts for coach. There is no explanation for it that can suggest otherwise.
Initiative 638 is a 2026 ballot initiative proposing the amendment of Washington state law. The initiative would require students participating in K-12 sports to submit medical documentation that verifies their “biological sex” as female. This would prohibit transgender girls from competing in school athletic activities intended for females, and would require healthcare providers to verify a student’s biological sex to determine eligibility. -Wikipedia
Does the text of Initiative 638 mention genital checks? It appears to be about making participation in sports based on sex, which may only involve a cheek swab to determine. there is enough fear going around without worrying about things the initiative doesn’t say
Yes, but Americans hate Donald Trump more
They hate high gas prices.
