Being transgender, they already are second class citizens. As a woman, knowing and understanding our history, having some experience, I have empathy and compassion for them. This is why I’m willing to find compromise because people shouldn’t be treated or feel like they are less than another group of people. BUT the solution needs to be compromise. It can’t be all or nothing. It’s like this, I’ll respect anyone’s right to think and believe whatever they choose, but that ends when it extends to infringement of others rights.Pjmm wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 8:07 pmWell by becoming female these biological men just became second class as you would say. If they're taking the hormones and getting the surgery they're going far beyond makeup and clothes. That being said I'm unsure how I feel about this. There might be a day when all sports compete as wrestlers do by weight, not by S*x. Or transgender women may compete with men and vice versa. I've no dog in this. I think it's up to the athletes and the coaches themselves to decide what is best.Quorra2.0 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 9:04 amI agree. I’m also troubled by the message we are also sending to young girls, that they are still second class citizens. A big part of being female, is that history. Being female isn’t about about make up, the clothes or shoes you wear. Those who are transgender should understand what being second class is, and should exhibit the same empathy and compassion they are wanting to receive.SouthernIslander wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 8:21 am
I think it’s fair to say that biological males put girls at a major competitive disadvantage. Completely support LGBT community but compromise in areas like this is reasonable.
**eta I’m not saying that this is infringement per se, just using it as an example.
