VA Public Schools other than FCPS
Because of course they are. |
This is nonsense. - APS parent of a female athlete who will continue her sport at the D1 level |
It's not hard if one likes their given name or the nickname their parents gave them. But I'll assume you're ok with an adult going by a preferred name instead? Or is everyone obligated to go by their parent-given name for their whole life even if they hate it for some reason? I bet you don't mind women changing their names to match their husband's. It's a matter of simple respect to call people by the name they ask you to call them - assuming they're sincere and not being funny like another poster suggests with being asked to be called trump or jesus christ.

Then what is the answer to the PPP's question? |
It's not just "the right," it's anyone with common sense. XY individuals with intact androgen sensitivity have a biological advantage in sports over XX individuals. No one cares if an XX wants to play with XYs because they do not have an innate chromosomally-driven advantage. |
I guess people on the left are happy when their daughters lose to trans girl athletes? How egalitarian of them. |
Well 1) trans athletes make up a very small percentage of athletes so the likelihood that this will make a huge difference in their lives is very small and 2) there is always going to be someone better whether it's based on height, or private coaching, or the best equipment, or a lqrger wing span or a million other things. If my kid loses to a trans athlete then they lost because they weren't the better athlete for whatever reason. It does not bother me. So my kid will be #2 instead of #1. Big whoop. And if my kid isn't number 2 then there are plenty of bio girls beating them. |
With children, those 17 or younger, the given name or an approved\common nickname should be used. Once again, this is not hard. Adults can choose what they like to be called, no need to go by what their parent named them. I never said anything different. I don't care if women take their husband's name or not. Completely up to that adult. It is the children we are talking about. Parents get to determine what they are called. |
But it is happening. Males have a genetic advantage. Why anyone would be OK with this is beyond me. |
Exactly |
It’s not super prevalent. How many elite trans athletes are competing in your school? Likely one to none. Why anyone would twist themselves in knots about it is beyond me. |
Why have women’s sports at all in that case? There’s always someone better, right? Who cares if they’re almost all male? If your daughter can’t make the team because she got beat by all the boys, you could just tell her thems’ the breaks, right? What a valuable learning experience… |
You sound very emotional. |
An athletic mediocrity self-identifies as a woman and immediately dominates the game, and women are expected to just shut up and accept it. Sounds like the ultimate male privilege to me. |
Are we still discussing schools or are you onto Olympic trials now. Trying to keep the dog whistles in order. |
