Transphobic Utah Parents Launch Witch Hunt Against Teen
When a child loses a sports match, it should be a teaching moment. Nobody gets to win all the time, after all. Nobody likes a sore loser, either. But some parents in Utah feel differently. When their daughter lost to another girl, they complained to the Utah High School Activities Association and triggered an investigation into her opponent’s gender. “David Spatafore, the UHSAA’s legislative representative, addressing the Utah Legislature’s Education Interim Committee on Wednesday, said the association — without informing the student or family members about the inquiry — asked the student’s school to investigate,” the Deseret News reported. In response, the school examined the athlete’s enrollment records dating back to kindergarten, all to find out whether she is transgender.
She is not. She just doesn’t look enough like a girl, according to some. “Spatafore said the association has received other complaints, some that said ‘that female athlete doesn’t look feminine enough,’” the News said.
Utah legislators had previously passed a bill barring transgender girls from participating in school sports. As the News noted, the ACLU of Utah joined other groups to sue over the bill, “alleging it is discriminatory and unconstitutional.” Until a judge rules on the suit, entities like the UHSAA are left to implement the law — and the parents of sore losers have the means to persecute girls who outperform their children.
The idea that transgender girls pose some dire threat to women’s athletics has become popular with the right wing, and bills like Utah’s have begun to proliferate in conservative states. The New York Times reported in May that 18 states had enacted bills or other statewide rules barring transgender girls from sports.
The laws accompany a raging moral panic over the position of transgender children and adults. Urged on by right-wing media figures such as Libs of Tik Tok, conservatives are censoring books and, in some cases, calling in death threats to children’s hospitals accused, falsely, of performing hysterectomies and genital surgeries on children. There are shades of QAnon here with its obsession over child abuse and pedophilia. In reality, children are the real losers of this modern-day witch hunt.
Critics have warned that attempts to discriminate against transgender girls and women also place other gender-nonconforming people at risk. The case in Utah suggests those warnings were correct. Though Spatafore says the student wasn’t notified that her gender was under investigation, it’s hard to believe she’s unaware that others believe she doesn’t look enough like a girl to compete. Whether she’s gay or straight, cisgender or not, she should be able to compete in peace. Laws like Utah’s provide a refuge for bigots. Designed to police gender, they place the hopes and dreams of so many girls and women at risk.

No doubt this is FUBB. But when you push a false narrative that a cosmetically altered, hormone injected person is on par with others of the sex they want to "transform" to, you're going to get equally absurd reactionz from the complete social spectrum of "rationality", "logic", and "sanity". Just saying.

Men aren't women despite child grooming swine affirming their delusions. How dare these parents recognize the reality that their daughters are being forced to compete against men.
Should men compete against women?
yes or no
Everyone should have the right to parade around and identify as the gender that they wish.No doubt this is FUBB. But when you push a false narrative that a cosmetically altered, hormone injected person is on par with others of the sex they want to "transform" to, you're going to get equally absurd reactions from the complete social spectrum of "rationality", "logic", and "sanity". Just saying.
Of course there are.Your question has nothing to do with the article I posted.
There were NO MEN competing with those girls.
The loser parents just needed an excuse to whine.

What they cannot have is the right to gain an unfair advantage when it comes to competing as that identity. In sports, cut off your genitals and reduce your muscle mass. Then it can be determined if you are competing on a level playing field.
What about programs that provide money for women in business/politics, etc?
Can someone decide that they are a woman one day (albeit with a fully functional penis) in order to qualify for these programs?
Mental issues are complex. That's what this is. A severe mental issue that many carry around since childhood. If cross dressing helps, so be it. If breast implants and female hormones will make a man feel more stable, so be it. If dressing like a woman and singing show tunes on a stage helps...what could be so bad? I'm told there are conventions where everyone dresses up in furry animal costumes. I'm sure they return to work on Monday.To your first sentence: Ahh, but this is more than just "parading around" and self claimed gender identification....this is about attempts to have EVERYONE adhere to this "self identification" as normal on all levels of society. Sorry, but facts and logic just won't stretch that far.
This is where I part ways with the ultra liberals who stand firm that everyone has the right to gain an unfair advantage in sports due to mental issues.To your second sentence: Agreed, but wouldn't the whole genital and muscle mass thing require drugs? Last time I checked, its against the rules to use drugs on any level to enhance performance.
To your last two sentences: EXCELLENT POINT! It'll be real interesting to see how the lawyers handle that one

All of the above are harmless. Nobody 'decides' that they feel like a different sex than their genitals would suggest. It just happens. Fearing that a child will decide to be trans simply because they witness others doing so, isn't as prevalent as some would suggest.

Typically, they're referred to as 'performance enhancing drugs', so this isn't that. Quite the opposite. The unfair advantage occurred at birth, and they attempt (unsuccessfully) to become 'more compliant' with as yet flawed guidelines that aim to level the field. After that guy broke all female college swimming records, said guidelines are now being studied.
What also needs to be studied is the discomfort felt by the female athletes in the locker room, as he was parading around with his penis out...admitting that he's still attracted to women. Right now, women have no rights.
The future litigations will be fascinating to watch.
Of course there are.
The anecdote in the first paragraph is different than the rest of the article
