Duran is contradicting Title IX by keeping trans girls on women's teams. Competitive girl athletes know this although mostly they don't complain about it. That's starting to change though as more trans girl athletes win.

Why is the right only interested in trans women playing in women's sports. Trans men play in men's sports too. Of course I guess it's not that out of pocket for the right to be more threatened by trans women then trans men. It's pretty on par for then to only care about regulating and punishing women.

Keeping transwomen out of women's sports is actually supporting women.

Transmen that take testosterone are doping when I comes to sports and would be cheating.

Keeping males out of women's sports is not punishment, but basic biological reality. No one is stopping them from joining the men's team.

Choices have consequences. You are welcome to transition, but you cannot hurt women in order to fulfill your need for validation.

Again. This is about grade school.

It's mostly middle school and high school.

And at that point, the physical differences are noticeable. High school girls deserve having fair competition, that is whole point about Title IX, on the basis of SEX.

I’m so glad a PP brought up anorexia! How many of you pro-trans folks would let a girl with anorexia continue under the delusion thaf she is fat? How many of you would affirm her feelings and let her starve to death?

They are your students, not your kids. You need to learn boundaries and respect.

Why? What academic value does it provide to students for you to do so vs just calling them their name.

I will answer for you - None.

They are way happier when they are called by their preferred name and pronouns.

I wouldn't say 'no, you're not. You're skinny" either. I'd try to figure out why she thought she was fat and help her through it. Trust me, this is exactly what parents are trying to do. As a parent, you don't really know when your kid brings this to you, but you want to be there for your kid and help them figure it out.

Ignore the nutters. Thank you for supporting our (collective) kids.

Participating in sports does not hurt others.

Because their girls are getting beaten by the trans-girls and not getting the scholarships they think their daughter is entitled to; whereas, trans-boys aren't out-competing the cis-boys....

This is nonsense.

The right DGAF about women’s sports. They are only trying to hurt transgender women. If they actually cared about women’s sports they’d push for better athletic opportunities for girls/women across the country. Not just picking on a handful of transgender athletes.

Women should be supporting each other.

They are SIGNIFICANTLY less likely to kill themselves if people use their preferred name/pronouns. As a nurse I can assure you with 100% certainty that living students learn at a 100% greater rate than dead students.

Suffering from an eating disorder and being trans really are not the same. At all. So tired of the "right" (who are so often wrong) trotting out false equivalencies.

DP. The argument used to be that trans children suffer from body/gender dysphoria and therefore need to medically transition to cure their dysphoria. More recently, only a small subset of trans children have body dysphoria, the majority do not.

The anorexia analogy works for those trans children with gender/body dysphoria. But the majority of current trans children do not have body dysphoria so the analogy no longer works.

It also doesn’t work because it reflects, at best, an incomplete understanding of eating disorders. My child has anorexia and never once have they restricted food because they thought they were too fat. In their case, it’s about anxiety and control. I’m guessing those PPs also have an incomplete understanding of trans people.

That is exactly what body/gender dysphoria is. And what many trans children are.
