The American College of Pediatricians maintains that gender ideology is harmful to children and that transgendered children are psychologically confused and at risk for mental health disorders.


The College states:

No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one…

A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.


These children suffer from gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria (GD), formerly listed as Gender Identity Disorder (GID), is a recognized mental disorder in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-V)…

 
“Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse,” the College adds.

How can you not imagine this is anyone's business?  There are girls that put just as much time and effort in as him and are losing to a girl (now almost a boy) that has had two years of testosterone treatments.  If you can't understand why its unfair to these girls, and in the future possibly to many others, your head is in the sand.

 

By the way, if its politically correct to call him a him, then why is he wrestling girls at all?  It was his choice to change genders, he should not be wrestling girls, period.

 

People can still accept transgenders and gay people while having a different opinion on certain topics.  I think MANY here fail to realize that.  If they do realize it, they just don't care.

It's so minor and small.


There is so little information and details on this story , one couldn't possibly know the ramifications or enough facts. But hey throw some transgender hate in the mix and you have a good Conservative party.

Cause the ignorant adults would let the wrestler compete against the boys. But hey let's blame the Transgender.

Its not really minor and small. Some of those kids train all week and year long only to be placed in a fight against an athlete taking PEDs known to the commission. The athlete taking PEDs went 52-0 and won the state championship.


When I posted this story I was saying that he should be allowed to compete against the males even with the testosterone but as others have pointed out, that's still unfair to other competitors. Its not his fault because the commission allowed, its more they are at fault.

I watched a bit of the news reports with interviews. I noticed the students were supportive and the adults were the ones with issues.


Anyways so would you be upset whenmale who suffers from Hypogonadism competes?

Wait why would I be upset?


That's a interesting angle , I guess not if the testosterone is in the normal range, so perhaps it would be fine for him to compete in the mens category after all.

Quote:How is regular defined? Natural? Some boys have naturally high testosterone, while some have low. Are the boys with lower-than-regular testosterone also allowed to take testosterone so they can be "regular"? Should we just take the genetic gift of athleticism out of sports entirely since it is unfair as well?

Exactly.  Who determines what is an acceptable level of testosterone before it's considered a violation?  It's a shame, but it is what it is.  The kid wants to compete with the males, but the state won't permit it.  If the state regulation was changed, then they'd have to determine how to address the juicing. 

 

Wasn't the "win" a forfeit?

They have a standard testosterone level for athletes in different sports.

ORIGIN
<p style="color:rgb(32,28,31);font-size:16px;font-family:'-apple-system', BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;">On 16 May 2016, talk show host Glenn Beck published the tweet reproduced above, reporting that a pediatricians’ group had said that promoting or tolerating gender dysphoria (i.e., the condition of feeling one’s emotional and psychological identity as male or female to be opposite of one’s biological sex) in children constitutes “child abuse.” Beck’s tweet led many viewers to believe that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) had taken that stance on childhood gender dysphoria, but the tweet linked to an article containing quotes from the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) not the AAP:

Quote:<p style="font-size:1em;">The American College of Pediatricians recently issued a temporary position statement on so-called gender identity disorder, or gender dysphoria. A full statement will be issued this summer. The temporary statement is prefaced with the following:

<p style="font-size:1em;">The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts — not ideology — determine reality.

<p style="font-size:1em;">“They say human sexuality is an objective, biological, binary trait, XY and XX are genetic marks of health, not genetic markers of disorders,” Co-host Pat Gray said on The Glenn Beck Program.

<p style="font-size:1em;">“Now that seems to fit in with what, kind of, the politically correct crowd is saying right now, that gender is just a state of mind.”

There is a girl, on testosterone to become male. A girl on testosterone competing against girls. You can't be that naive, you can't see the issue here?

lol ... you are one insecure guy.

How you came to this conclusion is beyond me. And LGBT isn't a "thing". You're just an old stubborn man who refuses to see that some things in your world are changing.

 

Again, do you just sit on your porch and scream at the cars to "slow down" as they drive past your house?

I told yall not to take the bait

Quote:Please tell us your thoughts on homosexuals.

 

I believe people should have the freedom to love freely and be happy.

 

Sometimes, though, having a partner (no matter what your preference) causes more pain than happiness, lol.

 

Thanks for your concern about my thoughts.

Okay now let me ask you this...It is slightly off topic. 

 

Is there a biological basis for homosexuality/lesbian/transgender or do you believe it is more of a social construct? I'm genuinely curious of your opinion. Not that it matters but just for context I am a cis-heterosexual man that identifies with the male gender. 

cis?

BAH GOD! that's Kotites music!
