Harrier meant South Africa.

Sorry.

Why do people make everything so complex today? He has no business on a girls team. The kid needs to be sat down and explained to that he is not a girl, he is a boy. Take him to see a professional if that doesn't help him.
It is true for about 99.5% of people that are cisgender. For the 0.5% of people who have a difference between their biological sex and gender identity, it doesn't quite work that way.

Since it's true for 99.5% of people, a lot of people dismiss those for whom this does not apply.

What does that have to do with the topic at hand? It is not discrimination to say that boys, no matter how they feel in their heads, are still biologically stronger, faster, and taller in general than their female counterparts? It's completely unfair to the girls in sports to have this law. Eventually there will be an outcry in California over this portion of the law.

Our confused Democrat politicians here in the land of fruits and nuts have created a law that allows this confused young man to compete against girls, with all the advantages he has being stronger due to his gender.

Our civilization is doomed.

If the doctor examines you and you have all the usual genitalia that identifies you as a boy, then just wishing you were a girl changes nothing. Unless basic biology identifies you as a girl, then you are not. If you are a boy going thru surgical procedures and undergoing hormone treatments, you are still not a girl.

If you think this topic is just a discussion about one teenager, then you are mistaken.

I commend that law. It is something called freedom of choice. How hypocritical of Conservative minds so set on protecting and preserving freedom, to want Govt to step in and deny the wishes of a transgender child and his parents. Wow I'm stunned.

I beg to disagree. If a guy decides to go transgender and play on a girls' team, the guy is making it clear in the community that he is different from other males, and all that goes along with it. To think someone would go that far just to have an advantage on a girls' team is ludicrous. Only guys who would do this are the ones whose hearts are set on being gender changed and that's why this law is not strange at all.

Any peer advantage this opportunity brings this kid is just one badly needed triumph in an array of more difficult circumstances that other guys don't face every day.

I guess you didn't read any of the comments. It's about more than one child wanting to play sports. It's about boys playing girl sports, and how unfair that is to girls playing.

It isn't when the guy on the outside is a girl on the inside.
