[quote=Anonymous]While the child in the story is not mine, I do have a male 8u that participates in a ffx county NVSL swim league.

Since he was 2 he’s been obsessed with dresses/princesses/more categorically “girly” things. He wore dresses to preK.  As he’s gotten older, he’s realized kids will make fun of him so now when he’s out and about, he dresses like any other “boy”.  I know this likely isn’t the end of a journey for us. He may turn out cis, may be gay, may be trans.

While admittedly I’m a democrat and supportive of trans kids/trans rights, it’s much harder when it could be your own kid realizing the world isn’t kind to kids who are different.

What would you do if from the age of 2 your child came home bawling everyday that his friends who are girls could wear dresses and he couldn’t? That he wishes he wasn’t alive?

You don’t know this child, you don’t know the family. Neither do I. You don’t need to know the situation to be respectful.  You told the referee and that’s where this should have stopped.

For the record, if my kid winds up trans I don’t think he should be swimming with girls.

I think he should be allowed to swim with boys but wear the girls suit (which im pretty sure isn’t allowed currently).[/quote]
