Sorry ma'am your position does not give your son the right to undress with my daughter or possibly cause her injury

[@kandeeseaver1631]

My daughter turned transgender, and when the therapist couldn't get a yes from myself and her siblings, she went outside my family to other relatives. That's the day she ripped my daughter away from her family. We never, through the whole process, got any medical information on the dangers of transgenderism and transgender dysphoria, which, by the way, falls under the bipolar, schizophrenia umbrella My daughter committed suicide due to the fact that the people she followed really didn't care about her but was actually taking advantage of her. When I went through my daughters papers after her death, she had one paper on gender dysphoria, but three journals of therapy. What the therapists had done to her was appalling and basically scrambled my daughters brain. Please don't let your child fall into the hands of these kinds of people. Grab your child and run run run for your child's life. These people are viciously evil.

[@lastofthe70schildren70]

Remember this is ONLY in the USA and other western countries. Priorities are seriously skewed, where more important issues like trafficking are not prioritised. This issue can be ended in a heartbeat if ALL biological female athletes just don’t show up to participate in the events. This is not about discrimination against transgender females- it’s merely about acknowledging the fact that physically they have a much higher advantage to a biological woman & can cause harm if competing in certain sports i.e boxing or other contact sports! If more women just stopped competing and sponsors are affected, you will see how quick this whole situation will be overturned.

I am greatly offended by the term "Cis" to me it's the equivalent of a racial slur. It makes me feel alienated, isolated and less than normal... Like when someone says cis-gendered, it's an unnecessary attack and it makes me feel "less than". I think that the word should be added to the censor list like all the other racial and sexual slurs, especially in the Main Stream Media. I want everyone who reads this to make a formal complaint to KZbin expressing this notion. It's not fair that people can say "Cis" but we can't say other "offensive" words.

[@debysteele6846]

Yes. Exactly. I can't believe they are wasting time and money on this.

[@swat4hire]

With regards to boy and girl men and women sports, we should have a separate category for those who choose to be transgender. It is unfair for men to compete in women's sports even if they consider themselves female because we know they are both built differently. It is unfair and unless one begins to start a league of those who are transgender then we know women's sports are over. It has nothing to do with being bigoted it it has everything to do with being fair in anyone who stands against either leaving men in men's sports and women and women's sports with no room for people of transgender ideologies..... the only answer is to have a third category for those who are transgender and want to continue to compete

[@swat4hire]

One more thing it's not sex discrimination! When we are born we are given one of two sexes.... male and female. Any man who was born a man may choose to be something else but it doesn't change the fact that he was born a man with different chemicals in his body and a different build to his body than that of a woman. Men cannot have babies. Not naturally and so far not unnaturally. I am a straight female who has many gay friends of the lgbtq RS community and my first roommates when I became an adult were male gay men and lesbians. I have no hatred towards them whatsoever however if you are born a woman you should play in women's sports if you are born a man you should play in men's sports. Too many men are getting into the Olympics now and other sporting events and breaking records that women can never beat and probably because they cannot compete with other men. I don't know. I think truly the best thing to do if they want to be all-inclusive is to make separate bathrooms for those considering themselves transgender as well as starting a transgender division of every sport that there is. There's only that choice if you want to be honest and if you want to be fair. So far I have seen no women playing in men's sports except for baseball and a couple other smaller Sports but to expect a woman to be able to compete against a physically built man? In most cases this is just a travesty of Justice
