In WV girls turned out to protest a boy who competed in the girls competition.

And imagine this.

He dominated

This isn’t right. Straight up sick and stupid.

“A transgender middle school student in West Virginia won her shot put competition by more than three feet last week — as a slew of young girls staged a protest and refused to compete against her.”

Are we so small-minded that we worry about who wins a middle school track event over the child who is transgender????

I'm more concerned the event happened in the first place.

There are no winners here.

That's one of the points.

Why is the West Virginia high school athletic association allowing trans girls to compete?
 
The eighth-grader, who takes puberty-blocking medication and estrogen hormone therapy, has identified as a girl since elementary school.

I’m disgusted that @VySky is here posting about a CHILD playing sports and being outraged about a 13 year old trans CHILD that’s been taking puberty blockers since elementary school. Legally has a BIRTH CERTIFICATE listing as a girl and has been taken puberty blockers since age 8 - therefore never having undergone male puberty.

But hey…bigotry knows no age limit.

Leave the kid alone.


I can’t imagine how hard it must be for this child to have had the courage to compete in this meet AND not break down crying when students on the other team wouldn’t even compete. 8th grade. 13 years old.

And already on the receiving end of vile hatred and now in the spotlight and crosshairs of bigots.

Bravo. Now mocking literal trans children

What ought to upset you is the idea of giving puberty blockers to an 8 yr old
 
It's kind of a farce.

The girls who refuse to compete against her fuel their own outrage by letting her win.

They don't want to compete against her for fear of winning and thus ruin that wonderfully self-righteous outrage.

What a world.

That shouldnt keep you from commenting on it. An 8 yr old isnt capable of making these sorts of decisions. There is no reason you cant say that.

My son has a little friend from town that goes back and forth between wearing skirts/barettes and wearing typical boy clothes. They use a gender neutral name. It’s been that way for a couple years now. And they’re in 2nd grade.

I’ve been watching it play out for a while.

Go ask them if you are so concerned instead of being on here just complaining?

I'm not concerned. Trans issues aren't in my top 100 of things i care about.

I'm just commenting on the internet.
