Literally showing how these laws are predatory. This girl's presence was doing NOTHING to harm the other girl's in the sport. She had an active disadvantage, like tf? It was NEVER about "protecting women" and always about forcing trans folks out of public spaces

she took someone else's spot. Definitely not predatory. But there's a girl somewhere who didn't make the cut for the team. That causes resentment. Why can't we have noncompetitive recreational/intramural leagues that do not lead to scholarships? Teams can and should be co-ed.

⁠@@ajasen that applies for cis people though. For every 1 person on a sports team there are 20 people who tried out and failed. Why would a trans person, especially a stealth trans, cause more resentment than their cis peers? This is no fault of the student, she tried out like everyone else and it’s down to the other students to improve and take her spot. Also the article says she was mostly on bench, last I checked that meant she faced much less play time and was mostly a reserve in case of injury. So even then she’s not constantly on the pitch, hardly a crucial part of the team!!! Just an FYI, non-competitive teams do exist. *It’s called gym class, also known as PE/Physical Education, you soggy donut.* Or, better yet, have you heard of after-school sports clubs? Where anyone can join for fun, both new and experienced players, allowing the established players to improve and the new players to get started.

@@ajasen really She took somebodies place ? Who says that there are teams that can not beformed because there are not enough children playing. Like there was an other chase where the transgirl was the reason the scholl even had a team because otherwise they would had not enough players. So please if you do not have more info on this do not say this. most teamsports in highschool do not lead to scholarships and are mainly a "fun" activity for people to hang out with friends and do sports. And its the social interaction those people try to cut and isolate and remove transppl from society.

Arguing with a trans phone is pointless. Trans people just want to exist but anti trans people will complain about anything in order to keep us away from all public, private spaces. No matter what precautions or measure taken by trans people to just fit in, will never be enough for these hateful people. It's so messed up that people would go out of their way to out someone just because they can't fit in their tiny, ignorant little brain that we are all different and yet still human beings. We can thank all this hate mongering on the right wing maga dumb asses. So so sad that stuff like this is happening.

if they have a problem with this poor girl they HAVE to admit they're just going around picking fights

They cannot ever be honest with themselves about the Hate they have for already marginalized community , but their only happy when they hound and , belittle and absolutely inflict Harassment towards the community that already is under that anyway.. so what's a little more right. Even when you have pride services for pride , conservatives still have a god d@mn cow.. hey conservatives Pride celebrating us not for your hateful @$$'s ..

I agree with you we need more accomplices and less allies. The Mom is an absolute LEGEND. I hope this girl does not suffer more than she has. She is living the life I wish I could have. If the parents dont have a lawsuit against the school and district they really should sue. This girl has lived her life as a girl.

We need more people like that mom. I'm just sad her daughter now has to suffer because of crappy laws.

The one good thing to come out of this horrible discrimination is that the people who hide behind "parental rights" as an excuse for their bigotry can't really use that anymore because kicking a child out of school for no reason other then existing, and trying to fire the mother just because they are supportive is the exact thing they should be calling out if they actually cared about parental rights.

If facts don't care about your feelings then why is it always emotions that appeals to these people while ignoring facts.

Good statement. Because transphobes like to pretend that they are rational and care for the facts, when transphobes are less than rational and are inconsistent in their logic (or an actual lack thereof coming from transphobes)

what an amazing mother

Christ...the amount of investigation and involvement is nothing short of insane. You'd think they were trying to root out a budding terrorist or school shooter with the level of scrutiny involved. It makes me glad I'm trans in Canada, because both the UK and half the US have lost the plot. Here's hoping we don't follow suit. Where it concerns Norton and her daughter- they could do nothing to Norton in terms of retribution and it can already be said they did far too much. Norton is the definite hero in this story.

Sadly canadian politicans also kinda have lost the plot along side with them. Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick have all launched anti trans legislation in the past few years. Pierre Poilievre the guy probably most likely to win federally next election is extremely alt right. So it's not looking great here either, still far better then UK and US for now at least.

Conservatives when people are happy and thriving: “THIS JUST CANNOT BE TOLERATED 😡😡😡”

The thing that sucks about this is that she's tiny and therefore easy to dismiss as a "threat" meaning I, a six-foot-tall trans woman, and seen as a threat. 😢😢 I also wasn't well-loved by my classmates in high school. I was abused and it messed me up, making my peers shun me. I was in special educational because I'm autistic, so the regular students thought I was crazy. I hated high school. And to top it off, I couldn't afford a cap and gown at graduation, so I didn't get to go to graduation with any friends I did make.

Common Florida L /j 😭😭😭

This is so sad I wish her the very best

I never knew being trans and being liked by everyone in school and liking school life can exists in the same time because my experience in high school was basically nothing like her. But it made me happy because I read so many grey stories and vents about trans people in my country, until those stupid things happened forced her to drop out of school because of being trans. I didn't realize I needed to transition until long after I left school, and even though I'm not exactly trans, I'm non-binary, I think if I had figured out what I really needed in high school or earlier, I would have done it without hesitation. being myself has caused me a lot of trouble, it has caused me a lot of trouble since the beginning, in my past life, I had to learn and imitate the behavior of "normal people", and feel ashamed and inferior for who I am. I don't want anyone to experience what had to experience ever again. I am angry and sad about her experience, I hope that all of us can get the love and respect that we deserve.

thx for shining a light on this.

Trans Nation needs to grow in-person all across America. Then people like Ron Desantis will have zero power in this crappy country. The trans community has had enough pain in our lives.

Poor girl hope things get better for her. Her mother is a amazing woman. And hope keeps fighting for her daughter and everything. Trans women are women and are valid. ❤

Tbh, transphobes constantly tell on themselves by projecting the shit they do behind closed doors onto us. I feel for the girl for being put through this shit by transphobes who are the actual creeps. Massive kudos to her mum for sticking besides her and standing up for her because (as you said) she's thriving and is well-liked.

Can someone link or tell me what to search to find the ICC report and its findings? I can't find it anywhere.

(with psychiatric consent still) For bottom we need to wait a year to get on a list and wait a looooooong time (4-6 years) or pay yourself.. in general it is not that hard to get on the list, they just need to make sure that HRT arn't enough and your body can handle long time usage of HRT.. for FTM top i dont think you need to wait to get on the list and it has not that long of a wait time, for bottom it is also faster than for MTF

So much for protecting kids, huh

It feels like parts of the country are going down a very dark path that is well trodden. Straight up fascism. Respect for her mom, though.

Lets say that trans women had a clear advantage in sports it would be fair to them to compete ? That is the only thing that I dont understand since the Olimpics is a capitalist event with the values of the burgoise, and trans people participating in stuff is more about human rights.
