AIBU to think that this child should be allowed to compete as a girl? Transgender topic.

It's an 11 year old (born male) ice skater. There's a little video where to me she looks female.

I daren't put this on the feminism board, but AIBU to think that in 20 years time we will look back in shame at how we have treated transgendered individuals?

I just put myself in those shoes for 5 hours. What on earth would I think? How much hate would I feel? How fucked up/strange/weird would I feel?

I have a very uneasy feeling in my soul about the vociferous opposition to transgenderism on MN currently. It doesn't sit comfortably with me.

I came across this story just now and it's typical of I suppose what the feminist MNers want transgender people to face. I.e. that they can't...

Should she compete as a girl? Or AIBU?

There's a reason this thread has 590 posts. It's because I've hit on a raw nerve - ie. the logical one in your bigoted brains.

There have been maybe 3 or 4 logical, rational arguments, the other 586 posts have been personal insults, sneering and random lunacy. Great debate there alright.
Enjoy your evening guys! I'm off to get drunk!

Is this thread going to be deleted?
Shame.

When threads like this are started, I often wonder if its a ploy to show up the trans agenda for what it is for the lurkers, in one handy thread.

They always go the same way. Opening OP, followed by pages and pages of reasoned argument and counter argument, followed by OP getting more and more ridiculous with each post, whilst not having a single argument to back up what they are saying.

@JacquesHammer Have you had a transgender bloke try to join your team? No? Didn't think so.

Mate, you’re displaying the debating ability of someone who has sunk a skinful already. Try and do better.

Did you Google any of those names I mentioned above Cassort?

Have you had a transgender bloke try to join your team? No? Didn't think so

We had an enquiry from the parent of a junior who was trans yes.

HTH your stream of drivel.

Hey Jacques did you see that I disagreed with you, and quoted you on another thread, the other day?

To JacquesHammer
I also played rugby. And getting twatted by 5'10" women built like shit brick houses ain't fucking pretty either. So I ran fast lol.

I can't imagine rugby is in danger of a burly rugby player decided he's a woman and taking you down.......... Stop with the ridiculous.

Given how irrational and angry you are when you're allegedly sober I really don't think that's a good idea.

Hey Jacques did you see that I disagreed with you, and quoted you on another thread, the other day?

No. I don’t have the quote notification turned on.

Bit odd to mention on another thread though. Was it that important?!

Utter bullshit.

Google Hannah Mouncey. Nobody thought it would happen in ARL either...

And getting twatted by 5'10" women built like shit brick houses ain't fucking pretty either.

And getting twatted by a 5'10 bloke will be a hell of a lot less pretty...

No.
But I just wanted to mention it!!

Only coz it's rare.

I don't know what it must be like for her. It's beyond my realm of comprehension as I've never been confused about my sexuality in my entire life

Some folks get confused about the difference between ‘gender’ and ‘sex’. This one doesn’t know what ‘sexuality’ refers to. 🤷‍♀️

OP might want to look up the actual meaning of the word bigot. The only person displaying those characteristics is themselves tbh

OMG - the trans people are taking over!

Women go into an hysterical meltdown.

Meh.

I wasn't even that concerned about the issue lol. It doesn't affect me remotely. I just - quite simply- felt for the little lad being discriminated against.

Ok, maybe he should have competed in the boys comp, but if he feels like a girl, wants to be a girl, acts like a girl and thinks he is a girl, are we really endangering the lives of women and female sport by letting the lad just compete in the girl's competition?

Most boys that age I know would rather not compete at all than have to compete with GIRLS! Gosh - the mere thought!

personal insults, sneering and random lunacy
Is that what's called 'projection'?

But I just wanted to mention it!!

You might have wanted to check first. I replied to you at the time

Wouldn’t a PM have been better if you were so desperate for me to know you disagreed with me 😂😂

After that superb meltdown, forget about hitting a a raw nerve, the OP's whole nervous system has been hammered

@Oblomov19 are we totally at cross purposes here?

I’ve lost the plot!

I just - quite simply- felt for the little lad being discriminated against

So you agree he’s a boy then? Smashing, we’ve got through to you!

@JacquesHammer Have you had a transgender bloke try to join your team? No? Didn't think so

Eh? So we should be ok with it, as low Ng as it is effecting someone else's team, and not our own?? What about playing AGAINST teams with blokes in them?

I don't understand what you meant by that post?
