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?

Evening,

Thanks for all your reports. We're going to take this down now, as we think it's pretty goady.

Morning everyone!
As requested, we've discussed this deletion in the office and have decided to reinstate this thread. We're going to go through it now but as it's a long one, can we enlist your help please and ask you to report in any posts you think we need to look at?
We don't think you'll be hearing from the OP again, fwiw, but at least the thread has raised some interesting points.
Thanks all, much obliged to you all for giving us your thoughts.

No problem, Prawn, we're always happy to take a look, even at our own work.
