Wow, what a story. What strikes me is how so many on social media are posting "Protect Trans Rights" when, in fact, they not only have more rights than everyone else, they have effectively taken OUR rights away.

Those who choose elective treatment, to appear as the opposite sex, are being harmed by the hormone overdoses. These have myriad untoward side effects. Most of them are denied the right of informed consent.

Sadly, low information parents and youngsters influenced by a warped education system, a very complicit media, mockingbird social media, money hungry pharm companies and our own Government have made the issues a "fad" to follow....without understanding the considerable consequences they will experience. It has been a tragedy that the above players also corrupted so many of the physicians/clinics/hospitals we once trusted. Many great doctors/nurses/medical staff were forced...in good conscience to retire or work under the radar facing the ugly hammer of government if caught dis-obeying orders .

Truth, and add that health care professionals are largely chained by huge student debt.

Young female athletes cannot continue to pay for the advantages testosterone gives to men who transition to women and then compete against women, winning due to the hormonal advantages they gained during puberty. They may as well allow one group to take steroids and another not. It is that unfair.

Yes. Actually a third group is needed. Let the trans form a league of their own. Let all trans teams play against each other and let straight teams continue to compete fairly against other straight teams. Wonder how quickly the trans people would lose interest in competing with each other?

Yes, it does feel that way. The scales of equity are clearly "off" these days.
