[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your trans child is identifying as male and transitioning why would he want to stay on the girls team? 
Not cool. [/quote]

Because they wouldn't make the boy's team. [/quote]

Sorry but, life isn't fair and when you chose than you have to take the consequences.  Not every boy makes a team so not every trans boy can make the team either.[/quote]

Have you not bothered to read the post and replies from the OP? She clearly said that the school doesn't have enough kids on the teams. [/quote]

Is this a sport where the team doesn’t compete and play any other teams? Are the other teams all
Coed?[/quote]

I appreciate your post but I'm not here to get advice on the topic of medicating them.  
 
If no one knows the answer to the specific question about high school sports eligibility, I'll ask the admin take this down or have it moved to politics.  
With the exception of a few posters, I'm a little dismayed that this sub forum is as unhelpful as most of the others.  [/quote]

I found this through google but absolutely ask anyway. There's a few very outspoken transphobic people on this board that give their opinions as though they're facts on things like this. I doubt most of them even live in Montgomery County and they almost certainly don't have kids in sports playing against your child. What I'm saying is to ignore them.

If I'm reading this correctly, trans people can play on whatever team they want. It makes no mention of hormone testing and I doubt that would matter in high school sports.
