Protect girls sports
 

Boys identifying as female and want to play girls sports are not living their “authentic self”(original/biological/true) They are the absolute opposite of authenticity. Keep girls sports for girls!

People that struggle with mental illness need to stop gas lighting the female population. No one hates you. We want you to get help. We also want you to get out of our sports and locker rooms. It’s Title IX and the law. We have rights and you are taking them. The majority of the population livesin reality and understands:.

 

  1. Boys cannot be girls
  2. Boys have e biological advantages over girls from BIRTH. No amount of “identifying” can make you a girl and thus we do not have to accept this delusion. You have trillions of cells and EVERY one of them is stamped with your dna. No one can change XY into XX. NO ONE. “Identifying” as a “woman” means  you struggle with gender dysphoria. Can we identify as an animal? An object? What about another race?
  3. Boys have larger bone structure, muscle mass, and lung capacity. It is unfair to allow a boy to compete and take girls spots on teams/podiums/scholarships. Boys have taken girls rights to Title IX, this is a breach of the LAW.
  4. Dangerous and physically damaging. A 15 year old boy and a 15 year old girl do not equal fair and just competition. US National Women’s Team- best of the best WOMEN lost to an under 15 BOYS team.
  5. How many girls have to be physically hurt by boys to end this madness? 
  6. Demeaning. Girls and women are asked to “cover up, leave the locker room, deal with it” when forced to share locker rooms with boys with male genitalia. This is sick. 
  7. There is NO substantial medical evidence that confirms that “gender affirming care” helps those that struggle with gender identity. Actually it is harmful. Imagine that, Catering to mental illness is not productive or rationale.  “Our duty is to protect our nation’s children—not expose them to unproven and irreversible medical interventions,” said NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. “We must follow the gold standard of science, not activist agendas.”

US Dept of Health and Human Sciences

Washington, D.C.—The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and Office of Population Affairs, released a comprehensive review

 of the evidence and best practices for promoting the health of children and adolescents with gender dysphoria. This review, informed by an evidence-based medicine approach, reveals serious concerns about medical interventions, such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, that attempt to transition children and adolescents away from their sex.The review highlights a growing body of evidence pointing to significant risks—including irreversible harms such as infertility—while finding very weak evidence of benefit. That weakness has been a consistent finding of systematic reviews of evidence around the world. The review also fills a gap in the medical literature and existing clinical practice reviews with regard to the ethical aspects of pediatric medical transition. HHS believes that medical ethics should be central in this debate.
