The Michigan House just voted to ban trans girls from playing in girls high school sports. This will impact all zero of the trans athletes

At the very least it will prevent some kid from just going out and having a sex change in order to dominate HS volleyball.

Crisis averted.

Look I know I'm going hate from some of you. But think about after you read this.

Now on to college and professional levels. If the trans want to play sports. Let them form their own leagues where only transgenders can play

Guys playing against guys...fair right
Girls playing against girls...fair right
Transgender against transgender...fair right

But a transgender is not fully a guy and is not fully a girl right and will never be 100% of either gender again

See my point and that's what this is all about.

@HumanEarth If a professional organisation sets its own entry requirements, so be it. But the vast majority of people participate in sport for health, fun, and sociability, not competing at the highest level. That is why interference by politicians seems so heavy handed and vindictive.

@SunshineGirl okay you convince me, I changed my mine at least for highschool and lower education levels.

You actually made a great point and never seen it from that point of view before.

Thank you

@HumanEarth Thanks 🙂 It's just my opinion, but I think a lot of people perhaps take sport too seriously. Since raising a child, I have come to see things differently.

There's no crisis, so nothing has been averted, but I do believe the trans kids need their own leagues.

@calicuz This reminds me of the far right party Reform UK, in my country, who boasted about getting rid of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in the council areas they now control.

Only thing was, there weren't any there in the first place.

Exactly, things have been blown out of proportion here in the States. I can honestly tell you that this transgender child thing is not happening in my city, nor at my son's high school. Maybe a hand full of kids. out of millions of teens attending high school have this as an issue. It's not happening.
Thank goodness! That means only cis girls will be subjected to genital checks to ensure they won't be secretly the first trans woman trying to compete. Got to keep women safe after all! (That sentiment was sarcasm, the repercussions are real.)

@NerdyPotato I secretly wonder whether all this hysteria over trans athletes in order to ensure genital checks was the idea all along…
@iamthe99 maybe for some, because most predators belong to the same groups who are so afraid of trans people indeed. But the people who created that narrative did it as kind of a pilot to dehumanize people. You know, start with a very small minority to get people used to it, then move on to bigger and bigger groups.

Thank GOD! The world is now a better place. 🤦🏻‍♂

But how else can mid level male athletes be champions ?
