This thread is an embarrassment and it's my sincere hope one of the moderators removes it soon. First off if by "Patriots" you mean protecting Title IX and women's sports... So be it. Also your second statement about a child or grandchild being transgender comes off like your wishing cancer on someone.

Which also means you/me/we do not have to approve of something that someone we love and respect chooses. I love my son more than anyone on Earth, but I do not always approve of the choices he has made. I respect my wife more than anyone on Earth, but I do not always approve of the choices she has made.

So you're equating a person being transgender as having a potentially life threatening illness? Edited February 11, 2021 by vito typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for fixing my grammar. I will try harder to not make those mistakes. No I am not equating the two and this is where the thread gets shut down because now this is going to turn into me comparing someone being transgender to an illness now I am intolerant.

Coach Nowlin Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 let it go for lots of pages, but the last 2 pages has resulted in what many of us who have been around her a long time figured would happen 1. Off topic 2. Personal attacks back and forth 3. Grammar Police So with that..... you all had your chance to have an actual conversation..... at times, it worked, last 2 pages it has not. Just know, even though we got Multple reports, we attempted to allow the conversation to be fruitful. Not suprised it derailed......

Lysander Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Is it beyond people to stick to the point or is it just too much fun to resist acting like the idiots in DC? A question was submitted and it seems to break down as follows: 1. Is it fair to biological women to allow transgenders into their sports? if it’s fair, then - discussion over. 2. If it’s not fair, then what do we do? (a) Set up separate transgender sports or (b) Do nothing and just say there are no sports available for transgenders To be clear, I don’t care what God apparently tells you neither do I care what bromide you think you are supposed to say because you identify as Left or Right (at least the religious folks to their credit think they are getting it from God vs. some dumb@ss politician or celebrity). Damn few here are even attempting to discuss what we should do....if anything. Whether I think it’s BS or not, the situation is here....it exists. How do we deal with it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
