    Rated the post "Come On Man" because it's a virtual certainty that if a child was "going through a phase" which by the way is not uncommon, a competent mental health professional would be able to determine if that's the case and would not recommend medical intervention and in any case if medical intervention is warranted it would never be prescribed for a 4-year old. Although you probably didn't bother reading it in a previous post I cited a study done in the Netherlands of children referred for therapy. The majority of those children never received medical intervention and for those who did receive intervention the results were very positive. Although you may think that they are mentally ill most were happy and well adjusted.

    On a slightly different topic whether or not a person who was born male and identifies as female should be allowed to play on a girls team is a completely different issue than whether a person questioning his gender identity should receive therapy although you apparently prefer to conflate the two because the issue of athletic participation elicits a strong response. While I do not think an adolescent who has gone through male puberty should be competing against girls that doesn't mean that the individual or younger persons should be denied therapy.

    Recent injuries that trans HS players inflicted on opposing HS girl athletes.


    “In the footage, a female player from Dighton-Rehoboth passed the ball to their male teammate, who controlled it before releasing a vicious shot.

    The ball immediately struck an opponent across the face, leaving her with grisly facial injuries, including losing two teeth, that sent her to the hospital”

    (I won’t post video of girl screaming)

    Female hockey player has TEETH knocked out by male player on team



    …..separately.

    Did you event read your article link???????

    Not a trans player. Just some guy exercising his right to play field hockey. I have no idea why, but it isnt identified in your article as a trans issue. Seems to be some equal access deal. Seems unsafe.

    It's almost like males shouldn't play some sports against females. Who knew?

    Unless they declare they are female, then it’s ok.

    You're wrong, sir or madam or whatever you'd like to be called (I live to please you). SHE just needs more therapy, more love. The hate made her/him/it do this. Why all the hate, bro/sis/sibling?

    Anyone who thinks it’s ok for trans females to play sports against females. Simple as that.

    Take it up with the sports organizations. They have rules for weight, age and even skill level. Their job is to keep sports safe. What do you want us to do about it? I don’t vote for their leadership positions.

    And undergo years of hormone therapy and puberty blockers to make things more fair?

    The article only references sex, it does not indicate the gender involved. Isn't the whole idea that if you are participating as a female, then you are "a woman?"

    Go GATORS!

    So if your position really is “trans women are women”, and you compare trans women physical advantages to that of cis-women who are larger or more physically gifted than others, then why is it fair to make trans women take drugs?
