[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting back on track- does anyone know how MCDL or NVSL came to this guidance? It doesn’t sound like they or any of the pools that they represent had any community meetings or sought feedback on this issue. Given the sensitivity of the topic- that’s a bit concerning parents and communities weren’t allowed to weigh in….[/quote]

NVSL follows USA swimming guidance where it only comes into play at the elite athlete level. Once an athlete is competing at the elate level testosterone levels are checked.

Based on some of the, now deleted comments, on here I can see why a summer recreational swim league decided to follow a large governing body with decisions based on science vs feeling of parents. I can not even imagine how ugly a community meetings would be or maybe people are just more nasty behind the keyboard.

Fair point. But if you want parents to give up time in their schedules and volunteer to help at swim meets and other events, it would be nice to feel like our input is valued. It’s a sensitive topic that shouldn’t just be blindly rolled out without considering the community’s input.[/quote]

In any given summer how many trans kids are your children swimming against? Is it really ruining their summer swim experience?

it is only sensitive if you make it that way. Unless the community is made up of actual medical experts vs parents with feelings I see no need for community input. So you would be cool with trans athletes if you felt your view was heard, even if it changed nothing about the current policy? This post alone show how ugly the community can be, what volunteer wants to sit through that meeting? [/quote]
