[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just some abstract worry for me. Last summer my daughter was at a local volleyball camp and there was a biological boy from another girls team who spent the whole week stalking and harassing her. She told the staff multiple times and I even went to the host school myself. Instead of stepping in to protect her, they doubled down on protecting him because he identified as trans. They made it clear they were more afraid of being called “not inclusive” than they were concerned about a teenage girl’s safety.

So when I ask if boys are eligible for the girls roster, it’s because I’ve seen exactly how this kind of “inclusive” policy can play out in real life — and it’s not hypothetical for us.[/quote]

still think you're full of **** with how quick you came in here to share this very specific story [/quote]

NP, but this response is on Step 1–Deny this is even an issue

Stem 2 is always: Concede that it is a real issue but with the caveat that it’s super rare or inconsequential

Step 3: Admit that it’s more prevalent than you realized, but then insist that actually it’s a GOOD thing that is happening

Step 4: Turn the tables completely by claiming that of course it’s happening, it’s completely wonderful that this is the new normal, and anyone who doesn’t like it is [insert accusation of bigotry/homophobia here] that has nothing to do with protecting women and girls[/quote]
