It drives me nuts that people will say that young girls are trying to be turned trans because they're tomboy, and we need to keep our young girls safe. I grew up with a trans person in my life, and my mom taught me about trans people (in a positive way, she was very pro LGBTQ) at a very young age. I was also very much a tomboy, hated dresses, played in the mud, didn't like makeup, etc... It was because I knew about trans people at that young age that made me comfortable in my own gender as I got older (I'm cis and now pretty darn fem). Having the vocabulary and knowledge gave me the tools to have that conversation with myself as I was getting older and struggling with my identity. I was able to give myself the headspace to figure myself out much sooner and saved me a lot of pain.

[@kayew5492]

My daughter was raised with older brothers and from a very young age wanted to be just like them. Now in her 20's, she has become somewhat terf-ish, and even said she was glad she grew up when she did, being afraid I might have forced her to transition if she was growing up now. It was very hurtful, my philosophy was and still is to treat children as gender neutral, just let a child be a child, without pressure or expectations. I had to remind her that she also had a few favourite dresses, had a complete meltdown when she had to have her hair cut short after getting chewing gum stuck in it, and although she may have behaved ''like a boy'' in some ways, she never once told me she believed she *was* a boy.

Ask a Republican why diversity terrifies them so much. The party of toxic masculinity is terrified of others and has to try to keep them down/deny EQUAL opportunities and rights...that is a cowardly move, no matter how you cut it.

Someone also made a really good point that a lot of people who think kids being trans is indoctrination is because they can't understand that children have their own personalities and thoughts.

Mom says to be or have a housewife, so the child will. It genuinely doesn't even cross their mind that someone said "hey, trans people exist" and their child said "I think I am one" completely of their own accord because they don't let their child even have an own accord.

Doesn't SHE have that same advantage"? Height is not an exclusionary factor. "So what about a 5'5" trans-woman competing?@ I asked. "She hadn't got that advantage". That stumped him. Sure, height is an advantage in some sports. I was a fencer. I'm 5'1" and couldn't compete against 5'11" women with longer reach and stride. Should tall women be excluded? Where do you draw that line? The swimmer's advantage was not different from that of Michael Phelps. He's got a weird shaped body that allows him to swim faster.

The offense was 20 years ago (and probably unjustified), the person had left storytime several years earlier and since then, background checks are being done. So these storytellers are vetted far more than priests, scout leaders, teachers. Then the trans school shooter. 1 ever! And ever other one was male. Yet they started to say that trans people were more likely to be mass shooters? What? The Far Right are using extremely rare scenarios to justify punishing groups of people. They will now use anything--no matter how unrealistic--as an excuse to repress women or trans-anysex humans, or LGBTQ people.

I'd like to say something important that I heard a long time ago: Children are a group of people with little to no voice for themselves at ALL. They never get to speak up on how they feel, they never have any effect on laws that have a negative sway over them, nothing. Like the child labor law. The reason why "children are oppressed" is often a talking point for predators is because it's true. People don't respect their kids, and predators take advantage of that. They'll listen to kids and hear their stories. "Oh, that was very mature of you" or "Yeah, your parents were in the wrong for doing that to you." Predators often listen to and respect kids at first in order to groom them. Don't give predators that kind of weapon. Don't make respect for your kids rare enough to the point that they'd be willing to trust a predator over you.

Separating men and women in sports is a silly idea to begin with. I'm pretty sure the reason why we do it is because women used to be forbidden from doing sports until they got their own category. But the natural next step would be to stop separating men and women. The only useful categories are like weigh and sizes and every thing that actually matters in sports. Not sex and gender. We dont have to be in separated categories at school and there isn't much difference in men and women...

[@_StarlightRose_]

The reason womens' sports are a thing is because too many women were beating men in sports before the separation

This reminded me of a trailer that I saw for a documentary (idk if thats what you call it) about detransitioners and painting it as a story about how the gays preyed on impressionable children and forced them to transition. As a transgender and non-binary teen, I strongly disagree with this message.

Decades ago, on The Phil Donohue Show, they actually had a show about being gay and whether it was a choice or not. You know, 40 years ago. One guy said "I am black and I am gay. I can't change either, and I shouldn't be told to." Oooh the audience really didn't like that. I'm sure some supported it, but the loud ones were very angry over what he said.

They get this idea because cisgender men typically are better than cisgender women in most sports due to male puberty producing bodies that don't have to foster a child.

Yup, that was after it was revealed that they hired a trans woman to advertise to a wider market. Then Right-Wingers caught wind and started protesting, even getting pseudo celebrity Kid Rock in on it.

That's actually why I didn't get why AB didn't stick to thier guns with Dylan Mulvaney. They should have just stuck behind her. They were selling waaaayy more beer by invoking the right to fire guns and blow up thier beer then they ever sold when it was just a diet beer to drown that horrible day you have to spend with your family ( that's kinda how I view beer lol).

"Woke" NEVER meant "performative activism", unless you were a White, Birkenstocks-with socks wearing, latte-sipping Yuppie who though he was "with it".

I fully concur... The naysayers have to move beyond this pathetic argument of "testosterone beats oestrogen"... It's a garbage argument, there are so many week and weedy men who would get their butt kicked in women's sport, even if they trained really hard to compete and there are plenty of trans men who could give any biological male a real run for their sweat in physical combat. There is a far more scientific approach than is currently used to sort fair play in professional sports

Its really insulting and belittling to these women athletes that work so hard and train every day to suggest that a middling man athlete (or any man for that matter, as is often portrayed) could automatically outperform them by a large margin by feigning a transition. The physical capability gap between men and women isn't THAT drastic. Trans or cis, these women work really hard to be as competitive as they are and they deserve to be respected for that!

[@WillieManga]

But what about people who legit transition?

[@Blaumagier]

@@WillieManga My apologies. Let me be perfectly clear what my opinion is. Trans women are women and should compete with cis women. They don't have an inherent advantage from having been AMAB. I am merely pointing out that the narrative from transphobes being that any male middling, failed, and non athlete can easily and immediately dominate the competition by simply competing against women is insulting to said women. It is incredibly harmful to trans women, but it's also another example of a "protect the women" narrative not being about protecting women and actually being about hating trans women because it hurts cis women as well.

I am not trans phobe, but I do understand the confusion, because in a transition there is change, and it can be hard for an outsider to see when the change is enough to switch which bathroom they use.
