[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our summer team has one nonbinary child and that child selects which gender to race with at the start of the summer.  I’ve always thought it odd and unnecessary that we break rec sports up by gender so much.  I would be fine if we just swam all of summer league mixed gender, by age.

If your Larla is there to win and can’t beat the boys, then maybe she shouldn’t be there.  For most of the kids, this is about community and fun, not setting lame-ass pool records. Most of these kids will move on to real accomplishments in life after MCSL.[/quote]

Who's going to cut bait.

Is that a firm no they don't belong in competitive swimming at all?

I my daughter is bigger and more athletic than most girls.  I feel protective of her.  I feel like she shouldn't have to always compete against older kids or boys.  It's not fun for her.  Oh, goodie degenerate boys.

It doesn't take very many Brittany Griner's, Imane Khelif's and Lin Yu-ting's to turn women's athletics into a circus freak show.  I'm going to take my daughter to see the Mystics play the Dream, are those her role models?

If they just swam rec league one summer, then figured out they don't belong in the girl's category.  People would be OK with it, but there they are competing at the highest levels.

Every summer kids compete for club teams.  Are they going to reserve spots for them.

How do you fit Brittney Griner into this?  She isn’t trans, she doesn’t have an identified DSD.  Are we now excluding women based on being tall?  Or gay?  Or flat chested?[/quote]

She has a Y chromosome.  She even produces testosterone, but supposedly her body isn't sensitive to it.

But yeah, excluding trans from female athletics is a no brainer.[/quote]
