I wish I had a father like this and hope to be with a man who will be just as loving of a father
the dad is a real man. This was honestly really heartwarming and im glad i came across this, stuff like this really makes me believe in humanity again.
Ya I agree with this bill but he does seem to genuinely love his kids. That's a good thing atleast
@@russelljordan7688 Great he loves his kids, shame he can't understand the unfair advantage his son has competing in female sport
@@roystonrichards1556 ya well no one's perfect. This why we argue and debate we all are flawed and don't see eye to eye
@@russelljordan7688 yes my friend except there's nothing to debate when a male unfairly competes against females on the grounds that he feels like he's a woman..
@@roystonrichards1556 uhh yes there is a debate otherwise they would gain all the support to push the pro trans competitors. Given how arbitrary the rules are based on which one of you can get the most support to aim guns at the rest of us and force your views and beliefs onto others, everything requires debate if it didn't I could just ignore you and do as I wish
this is an example of a real man. he accepts his children no matter who they are. he admits what he did wrong as well and he changed. as a trans guy in missouri, i wish more people here like that.
this is an example of a man wanting to impose the unfair advantage of biological males competing in female sport
He’s a coward. Shoulda disowned that freak
This aged well...

same, especially as a trans man in missouri :)
Chokes me up that this man is happy for females to be disadvantaged by having to compete with a male.
Son
Eh... This is a problem in the US?
Yes, too much of a problem. Unfortunately.
dumba*ses there somehow made it a problem because it isnt at all
A REAL MAN 😆 CONSERVATISM LOOK AND LEARN
Look and learn? What are we learning exactly? We fully support a grown adult decision to decide what they want, we don't support letting a kid decide, just like we don't let them decide to smoke, drive, decide their own bed times for example, but you think letting them decide their own gender is a good idea?
He disguised his and his kid's selfishness as compassion: his daughter needs to be able to compete against bio-females and he doesn't care how that would negatively affect bio-females. I understand you want your kid to be the most important to you, but you can't just walk all over the other dads that want to protect their daughters. Fake arguments about a bio-male not being stronger than bio-females is completely false. You can cry all you want that she is having hormones and such; that does NOT cancel the effects of being born male. Testosterone levels are still higher than other girls, bone structures is still stronger, muscles are bigger, etc, etc, etc. Feeling trans does NOT give you a different body.
You can't have it all in life, that should be the message of this dad to his kid. Of course the comment section is filled with awe for this story, but the truth of the matter is that you can't allow bio-males to ruin women's sports. And so the hate will come my way. Facts hurt.
Preach!!!!
Emotional people would not understand this message
Totally agree with you!
I don't see this man as being selfish. Caring about your family isn't selfish.
Completely ignoring the negative effect on many other people around you is very selfish. My rights at your expense? I don’t think you would like to be treated as such.
What about the other fathers who's daughters are being dominated in sports by boys who think they are girls. What are you going to say to these fathers?
This is sad that he's pleading for the basic human rights for his child... Good for him, and his family...
I mean until his daughter joins the track team and sort of wrongfully takes medals away from natural women...
For the record I support Transgender people. Sports however we need a better solution that's all I'm saying
I understand the finding a better solution regarding sports, I just hope that it's not done in a way that is, toward any child/person, that is totally dehumanizing... We need to have more open conversations.. God bless us 🇺🇸 all
Playing on the girls team is not a human right, you absolute lunatic.
@@weasel2672 I think it starts if you have a child who was born a male and has transitioned and now wants to compete in female sports. At some point real quick you need to sit down with them and explain to them that they are stronger and people may frown on the fact that they will be able to achieve much more than they could competing against men. And if you're a real parent you might tell them that it's unfair
Great father ❤️
@Colin Kniles We didn't ask how you became a scourge to society.
And a massive hypocrite too
This mans emotions dont allow him to look at the situation objectively.
Common sense solution: create transgender sports teams where there is demand and let them compete against other transgender teams. The biological boys identifying as girls are free to socialize with the other biological girls but the real biological differences between boys (bigger muscles and greater bone density) render competition against biological girls non-competitive in most sports.

trans people are valid and the vast majority of scientists would agree with that. this guy is using his story to help others understand.
@@jeremylee5990 some people are born feeling uncomfortable in their own bodies. and even if some don’t necessarily feel dysphoric and just want to express their gender differently than what they were assigned at birth, i don’t understand the issue. if it makes them happier and confident then why is it a big deal? our society puts extreme significance on gender roles that aren’t biological, if kids or adults don’t want to conform to those roles who are you to say that they can’t do that or that it’s not right.
Why not create a special athletic program for those special people?
this seems like the best option.
I imagine that it would be difficult to get full teams.
Great job Dad! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@Colin Kniles - U are a shameful transphobe who lacks empathy.
@YouNeed2FearMe stop falling for fascist talking points. Your question doesn't make sense; the thing you're talking about literally isn't happening in the way you think it is.
@YouNeed2FearMe - Wrong - educate yourself: www.scientificamerican.com/article/trans-girls-belong-on-girls-sports-teams/
Fantastic statement!! Bravo sir!
Who’s speaking publicly about their young daughters having to change, having to shower, having to complete with and likely lose a biological male?
His story is definitely tugging at my heartstrings but at the same time, the literally dozens of biological females have to keep quiet?
Females are expendable and are just a feeling. Haven’t you heard? Anyone can be a female now.
What a great father for speaking on this topic. We gotta let our children be who they are.

You would let your child wander into traffic.
@@jeremylee5990cept your point doesn't work because you were too closed minded to hear what he said about how she was much better mentally after transition. Walking into traffic is going to worse position unlike the improvement she experienced. But I wouldn't expect anything else of you
I just think it's an unfair athletic advantage.
What about when a trans man who has been on hormones for years plays in a girls sports team because of their agab?
@@alexiscandia7492 There are more clear differences in males and females anatomy than hormones. Males have different hip configurations, that allow them to run faster, larger muscles density, and bone density just for a few examples.
It’s just kids sports. I have a cis female friend who was on a boys baseball team and did better than the majority of the other kids on her team. It’s not like this guys daughter is destined to go to the Olympics. It’s just kids sports.
What a man!
That’s a very sad story, but it still ruins the confidence and hopes of all the other girls playing volleyball. The possible all district star, or tennis state champ. Yea, I’m sorry it sucks, but what’s good for the goose isn’t always good for the gander. America is the gander. One person or a small group doesn’t decide Law. Yes he majority vote decides law. Executive orders where made for extreme situations, mainly times of war.
Actually, basically nobody is asking for these laws. There haven't been any issues with transgender athletes outperforming or having an edge over cisgender girls so far, so there is no reason for a ban.
Get these kids the help they need instead of trying to trying to force the world into this alternate reality. When they become an adult and can make adult decision then we can have an entirely new conversation on what they want to "call" themselves. Boys are boys and girls are girls. The fact that so called adults argue against this biological fact is just mind numbing! A lot of morons in this world SMH
So we can both agree that you either didn’t watch this video, or watched and then completely ignored everything.
Trans people deserve their own recognition, divisions, championships, celebrity and should do just as Bio women, paraplegic, special needs did, they should create their own segment of sports, otherwise there is a plethora of COED sports that are available to them right this moment.
There won't be any financial gain. These dudes do this to get scholarships to colleges, taking the spot of a real woman.
Well said 🙌🏼
WTF does he keep calling his SON a girl!!! 🤡🥴
Bc she’s a girl and a happy one too
I just want to smile again…
It's not all about his daughter it's about everyone's daughter. This parent want's his daughter to be able to force someone's daughter not to be able to play on the sports team because they are forced to compete with people born males. How is that fair?
You are loosing the point, it’s not about sports, he said “let my daughter play “ in other words let her have fun, koinonia, have friends. He did not use the word to compete, which has a different meaning to what he referred to because when you loose, you are not happy, it’s not fun l played soccer and baseball for many years, winning feel always good l understand that. However the spirit of the sports is union, discipline, teamwork, friendship, fun. That’s what he talked about.
@@willmoguel4787 then she could easily join a after school club or they could organize activities for her n her friends but she’s not just playing she is competing n that’s the point.
There is no evidence that transgender girls are better at all sports than cis girls. People are making biased assumptions that are actually sexist against the abilities of cis girls.
The child in question will most likely be taking puberty blockers when she reaches that age, so she will have no biological advantage over any of the other girls. If I'm correct in my assumption the only reason to deny her from participating with be that she is transgender, not that she has an advantage.
@@heathphipps Sure, pretend Lia Thomas doesn't exist.
That's why we believe in dialogue, in people changing mindsets. We are all on the same team guys
I don't understand and may never understand. They should start Transgender teams. Then they may be on more even playing ground. As the transgender male grows up they will have more strength than a woman and it's not about competition it's about the facts of human anatomy. Man versus woman. I am not against any of the GLBT but they also need to have respect for the straight community. To each his own.
I guess the hard part is you would need to create two sets of transgender teams one for boys and girls. Then if you have a team built from a school you only have on average half a percent of those students potentially being transgender. Where as for general boys and girls team you have almost half the school that could play for you. If they really wanted to be fair I guess they could do physical examination of students athletic levels. Strength, weight, speed and reflexes and just place them on teams regardless of sex.
@@JerichoCasio That's a better way of doing it I think. Do away with boy/ girl teams and have a coed league
@@JerichoCasio How do you do a fair examination exactly? I can clearly run slower, not use my full strength to get placed on a differnt team, that I can clearly dominate later.
@@franklin9400 You are generalizing that everyone would cheat or be deceitful in that situation.
@@alexiscandia7492 many would.... you know how many boys are going to temporarily say they are trans just to shower and change with the girls?
Bravo Dad.
Just because I stand in my garage doesn't make me a car.
Or a lawnmower, but the point is they are not in any physical threats from their privates. It is not a virus like COVID-19 or a condition that is life threatening so what makes them believe they are in the wrong body?
ah yes, mike, you’re quite the smart one. embracing your gender is totally the equivalent to embracing being a vehicle, right?
you kind of remind me of how gay marriage became legal and homophobes all across the world were like “oh, so can i marry a dog now?!” absolutely stupid.
Great dad! More parents and just people in general should treat trans/lgbtq+ people with respect. That’s all they ask for and especially people who are trans
Okay that’s great let them be who they are doesn’t mean they have to take scholarship opportunities away from “cis” girls!!! Look up the young girls in Connecticut who could never beat the two boys that ran against them. Let’s create a trans/coed team separate from boys and girls this way it’s a fair playing field for all!
I agree w co-ed sports I think we should have had that from the beginning. That allows those who choose to compete w a "general" team the ability to do so. I knew many females who wanted to play on boys baseball because they only offer fast pitch to girls w a larger ball and I must pitch it underhanded so girls who wanted to play true actual baseball weren't allowed. And the girls who wanted to play football also weren't allowed though in the rare cases they were permitted to apparently did very well. By having a team that's open to everyone it also opens up a place for boys especially who may not meet the physical requirements for their varsity teams but won't miss out on playing. It def should be done.
From Portugal, I ask: what happened to the bill that was being discussed? I applaud this father and wish him and his daughter all the best... with love! AdC
You can be and do whatever you would like and what makes you happy, but when it comes to students athletics; you play on the team of the sex you were born as. It is unfair to the natural girls or boys to have to compete and ultimately lose scholarships to transgender athletes. If you are born a male, you compete as a male. Nobody told his daughter how to dress, or who she can associate with. This is a fair law that will keep the playing field fair. "The needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few". This guy is being selfish and naive. The only thing that his kid is not allowed to do is cheat in regards to sporting events.. Sorry, your son had the freedom to make his choice on how he wants to live. As a parent, he allowed it, and as a society we are forced to accept it, however his child has to understand that it is just not fair, and if the child wants to compete in sports; it will have to be against people of the same sex as his child. Own it, and stop with this liberal BS already. It is ruining our society. Our country is going down the drain on a very fast track.
If you think it’s unfair, then change the system. Simple.
Transphobe
Selfish argument. My daughter is more important than the countless women who will b losing out in sports
If his daughter was born a male and wants to compete in female sporting events. Therein lies the problem. I have no problem with his daughter or son being transgender I do have a problem when it's at the expense of others who spent their life training as athlete in female sports and also their future relies on their competitive ability as females. Not as males who want to be females
Exactly! When is enough enough?
Ridiculous. Such a ridiculous denial.
The comment I was looking for , I agree with you
You do have a problem with transgender persons...
You think the desire to change gender is to have an advantage in sports?
Here's a Man and Father who has balls (no pun intended) and integrity !
This is actually very selfish of him. He wants to wreck the dreams of many young girls who want to be competitive in sports. I'm sorry that his daughter has identity issues, but we shouldn't punish other people's daughters because of it.
There is no evidence that transgender girls are better at all sports than cis girls. People are making biased assumptions that are actually sexist against the abilities of cis girls.

I feel him, but transgender should play with other transgenders.
How about splitting pupils based on height, weight, capacity, capabilities, instead of splitting based on whether or not a person was born with a penis or not? I know tall, muscular children who perform equally well, despite being of opposite genders.
Unfortunately, based on many of the answers under this video, if a transgender team would be formed, it would immediately be viewed as a "freak team" and all players would probably experience many horrible situations. Ignorant people can be so cruel.
People act like these are the Olympics. School sports should be fun for kids, not constant competition. If you want a scholarship for sports, there are varsity teams instead of regular teams.
You think it’s fun for girls to get their butts kicked by boys?
"People act like these are the Olympics?" School sports decide scholarships, it isn't for pure fun, it is a competition. "There are varsity teams" who do you think will dominate women with their physical advantage to make these varsity teams? I mean we have clear differences in physical requirement between boys and girls, for every sport for a reason. There are clear physical and biological differences between boys and girls.
wow, how about no
Then start a transgender league. Oh, not enough of them? So the 99% should have to admit the one percent that can naturally outperform the 99% because their father will cry in public?? What a sham and how selfish of this guy. What about the biological girls who will never win at sports because biological boys are allowed to compete?? Are you going to get teary eyed for them too??
Wait. I don’t get it. Why would a father keep his daughter from being a girl from the beginning?
his trans daughter , she is a girl in a boys body and at first he was forcing her to be a boy but then he changed his mind and let his son be his daughter like she was from the start.
A complete man who knows what is real caring ... not in theories but in practical
No one should be ashamed or afraid to be themselves. Props to this dad for empowering his daughter to be herself.
Neither should real young women. They're entitled to a space of their own. You're obviously a bigot, trying to invade women's spaces.
The point is not about his protection and love for his daughter, it is more about exclusion for her to participate in sport. But he need to understand too how disadvantage it will be for other parent's daughters participating in pure girls sport, they too have the responsibility to protect thier daughters.. so instead of asking the lawmakers not to pass the law , he should ask them to create one for transgenders like her daughter so she can actively participate in sport
There is reason sport is categories by gender , age, disabilities, weight, even height in some sport, it is to make sure the competitive is fair and no one at disadvantage.
If transgender parents need to be fair, they should be considering the impacts on others too
@@davidadewumi4256 If that is the case should the cis girls that have been on boys sports teams in the past be nullified and thrown out?
After years of forcing her to be someone else...time they’ll never get back. Forgive but know it’s wrong for ANY amount of time
@@alexiscandia7492 Give us some examples of biological females dominating boys sports? Just a few or 1?
The world's greatest male deadlifter can lift about 1.1k pounds, the best female deadlifter can do about 600. Fastest mile for a man is 3:43 whereas for a woman it is 4:12. Men are faster, and stronger. Not to mention there's only 37 female Chess grandmasters out of 1600 GMs...men should not be competing against women unless they are in even ground, in chess men and women may have even ground, but girls don't play as much chess as guys, so they're less. In running, lifting, fighting, and other physical sports, women stand no chance against men. It is what it is, it's about not putting men to compete against women. Not about taking the right away of someone who "thinks" they're a woman, to compete against women. Even they understand they're born men, even if they hate the fact, every cell in their body is designed to be a man or a woman.
See, the thing you are comparing cis men and cis women. Trans women (who have undergone hormone replacement therapy and other transition) are more similar biologically to females rather than males.
PREACH🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@XavierUrSavior oh really? trans women have been allowed to compete in the women’s olympics since 2002. guess how medals trans women have won? 0. literally none.
@XavierUrSavior if what you’re saying is true then trans women must have won all the medals in the olympics. but clearly, that’s not the case. you are wrong. get over it.
@XavierUrSavior oh so you’re completely ignoring the factual information while talking about stuff like science? that’s pretty ironic if you ask me. i gave you a fact that disproves what you are saying. you purposely ignored it. you are wrong. why are you still embarrassing yourself more?
Letting them be who they are is one thing, but when it comes to sports this isn't fair to biological girls. Your daughter should be free to dress and act how she wants, but when she's growing up with male biology, it doesn't make sense to have them on the same sports teams.
This story is emotional and compelling, but ultimately not fair to natal girls who want advancement in sports. High school natal boys are not only above high school girls, but above the vast majority of Women's Olympic Records. It's just not fair, or sensible, to hold identity over biology. I'm not saying identity doesn't matter. In most cases accommodating it is simple, but not in physical M vs. F competitions.
@Kleek Vishon there's actually plenty of proof. A transwoman is just a male that identifies female. There is nothing biologically special or unmale about them. So go look at Male vs. Female records. High school males generally beat the best scores of Olympic women. There are many cases and studies where this has been a problem and 0 I've seen that prove otherwise.
In Connecticut, they let two male transgender teens race with natal girls and they took 1st and 2nd in 15 races previously fought for by 9 different biological girls.
High schoolers in particular compete for scholarships and the natal girls score below Women, and even the best of Women often score below biological boys--like highschool boys.
A male believing he is female does not biologically dampen his body. I'm ok with most of trans rights for adults, but women's sports and transitioning young children is questionable.

@@XxcheshirecatxX Hi. I'm sorry I don't agree with your words. It's like simplifying a process that transgender needs to face when you say "a transwoman is JUST a male who identifies as female" or vice versa. It's sound's vilifying to me.
Do you aware that they need to face a long process to be who they were really are? They need to do a hormone therapy and might be surgery. It's not as simple as you think.
I think the real problem is the way people acknowledge transgender is different between those who support them and who's not. You must be thinking like that because you disagree with "transgender" at all. You don't acknowledge that transgender is a thing. But the one who support them can tell you and give you a lot of evidence that being transgender is NOT JUST they want to be identify as a gender they feels.
Thanks for your outlook
I knew how this video would go when I saw CBS decided to post it.
O yeah, a boy on a girls sports team. What could go wrong. WMBA NA TMBA, guys and girls are not made the same.
I played intermural sports in school. Was only girl. So what. Had fun. I went as hard as the males.
@@jensnow6551 thats cool. More power to you. Im not really against females in male sports as long as they know the risks. I am against a biological males being in female sports. Why do you think the WMBA would never play the MBA. Because the WMBA would get crushed. Men have a biological physical advantage over women. I dont think its fair to women to have biological males in their sports. All of the records will be smashed and held by teansgender athletes, in female sports.
Um... his son should be free to wear girly clothes and grow out his hair and all that. It would be wrong to prevent him from that.
But just because a boy enjoys those things does not mean a boy is a girl. Neither does it mean he can compete in a girls team. Because that is about definitions and truth, not feelings.
Perhaps a better solution would be to start a transgender sports league? I'm sorry about your "daughter", but if you're going to allow this, why not just make all sports co-ed? That's basically what you're doing.
why put daughter in quotes?
@@chriscollinson6945 Simple. The dictionary defines the word "daughter" as female offspring. Biologically the "daughter" is male, no matter what they wear or look like. Now don't get me wrong, if some dude feels better by wearing makeup and women's clothing, more power to them. This world would be a much better place if more people were able to be themselves. However, that doesn't change the fact that, no matter what peoples' feelings are, this person was born a male. Hence, the only way this person is a "daughter" is by using the word in a non-standard sense.
Quick question. Trans women, who are women, have been competing in the Olympics since 2004 as women, because they are women. Do you know how many of them have earned medals in their respective sports at the Olympics?
Zero. Trans women very, very rarely outperform other women in sports. They tend to perform just as well as other women. Sure, there are statistical outliers - and, usually it's when trans women haven't been on estrogen for a year or longer - Estrogen, after a year of use, tends to even out their bodies, redistributes fat and muscle to literally turn their bodies into a female body - a body to match what their brain says they are.

@@TheSelphir Good to know. Still doesn't change my opinion. If you've got lady parts, even if they're put there by a doctor, you're a lady. If not, you're a guy. The entire reason behind creating women's sports was to give women the opportunity to compete against other women (and I'm including gender reassigned individuals who have been on hormone therapy for longer than a year in the word 'women'), not against men. We already have a word for the other kind of competition: it's called co-ed.
Crying. 😪❤ such a good dad
His boy should be allowed to have long hair, to wear female clothes, that does not change the fact, that it is a boy. He wants his boy to play on the girls team and begs not to take it away, but he has no problems of taking girls sports from girls. This is selffish and disgusting.
Same w my born female daughter. Let thrive, let her be happy, let her live her best life as well. Sorry about your life story, but your son doesn't deserve a spot on the team that takes that spot away from a natural born female. He is a boy & it's an unfair advantage to born females.

Everyone should not be forced to pretend that someone is who they want them to believe they are. It's not our fault that they have a problem discerning reality from fantasy. Personally I don't care what someone wants to be, but in the world of physical athletics a truly fit male body will always have an advantage over the female body because of body structure alone. So if a male that wants to be female is playing against biological females that automatically gives the biological male an advantage. In a world screaming for more woman's equality, then why are we trying to force women into an unequal situation?
I got one question . How did he know he wanted to be a girl ? You’re born with no conscious so how did he know he wanted to be that way ? Who taught em about gender while his parents were away ?
Her not his she identifies this way so respect that
children (along with literally everyone) have minds of their own and can form their own identities outside of the environment theyre raised in-big shock I know.
And you care.... Why?
The same way you KNOW you’re a boy. It’s in the brain. There’s a famous but horrendous case of a boy going under transition as an excitement. He was raised as a girl, had female genitalia etc. but always felt like a boy. Gender is more than just ur genitalia it’s in the brain too
As a child, I loved boy things. I hated wearing dresses and other girly things. Since my parents weren't idiots, they knew it was likely just a phase that I would grow out of. They were right.
What is your point🤔
And there are others where that wasn't just a phase.
@@alexiscandia7492 There are also some who thought it wasn't a phase, parents or peers convinced them to transition. Then fully regretted it once the phase was over and it damaged them badly. Kids shouldn't be making these choices, only grown adults should be able to even start transitioning. We shouldn't be giving kids hormone blockers or convincing/celebrating when kids decide they think they are trans.
@@franklin9400 It defeats the purpose of puberty blockers if only adults are allowed to take them even with adult consent. Yes there are those who may have transitioned and it may have been a bad move for them. Why does that give you the right to strip that right from other who would benefit immensely from it.
@@alexiscandia7492 For the same reason we don't allow kids to drive till they are 16, vote till they are 18, or drink alcohol till they are 21. Because their brains aren't fully developed to make informed good decisions and because products like alcohol can affect the development of their brains/body. Just like puberty blockers. Adults, parents, or organizations shouldn't be trying to convince kids who are easy to convince of anything that they should transition. Or be a transgender. Adults should be making that choice with a fully developed brain on their own. It shouldn't be a parents choice either. Only the person who thinks they are in the wrong body. 🤣

@Colin Kniles U = transphobic
@Colin Kniles This father tried your way for years. It brought his child depression. You have clearly never experienced anything like it. So keep your ignorance away from those who know what it is like.
because transgender individuals competing in historically female leagues consistently and _significantly_ physically out-compete biological females. Therefore this line of argument unavoidably and flatly involves accepting that feelings, lives, accomplishments, confidence, career prospects etc.. of numerous biological females are vastly less valuable than that of an individual transgender person. Transgender leagues? If it can be done go for it, but to allow bio males in bio female sports is specifically cruel to the involved girls. A better approach: Declare the fundamental goal your argument seeks (take our "ask" and ask "why" about five times to distill down to the moral principle you are invoking...then be prepared to be bound by that principle (e.g. "minimize harm/suffering") when it cuts multiple ways. In this way shallow, selfish, arguments/decisions are minimized and real good can be done.
Guys playing girl sports you already know the winner.
There is no evidence that transgender girls are better at all sports than cis girls. People are making biased assumptions that are actually sexist against the abilities of cis girls.

I totally agree with this father, but is it really fair for a transgender male to play against females in collegiate sports or any competitive sport. There is a reason that they have male and female teams. This is a real dilemma.
It's not fair
That's a good question :) How would you feel about changing the ways teams are put together? For instance based on height, weight, capacity, capabilities, instead of splitting based on whether or not a person was born with a penis. I know tall, muscular pupils who preform equally well, despite being of opposite genders.
Please let me know if you, Sheila or Atlanta, have a reliable source that states that the differences on average are so big that it ruins sports.
True, because the real issue at heart isn't physiological, it's psychological. A person born of one gender but prefers to live a different way is going to encounter resistance born of the minds of others - they're fine with people having freedom as long as it conforms to THEIR notions of freedom - they are the ones who need to visit the shrink.
@@Idasbo sports are divided along those lines. Weight, age, skill level, ect.
@@Idasbo lightweights don't fight heavyweights, division one teams don't play against NBA teams. When I played pee wee football it was structured by weight.
When sports are separated as boys/girls, it's based on physical sex, not gender.
The law is not just about his "daughter". It is about everyone else's female daughters. He allowed his male child to dress how they wish. Fine. But competitive female sports is not about whether or not a child prefers dresses & long hair. As a dad u were forced to learn something about your child. Now it is time your child learns something. Gender & sex are usually in agreement. But not always. & while a person can choose a hairstyle or clothes or change their name, pronouns, or take drugs & even mutilate their bodies with surgeries, you can't change your dna or the sex it determines.
I hope 1 day his male child learns to accept & embrace their body, & doesnt turn to dangerous drugs that cause sterility or harmful surgeries.

Physically an average boy athlete would beat a top girl athlete in the majority of cases. It’s a fact and hence unworkable.

so 99% of girls in sports are supposed to potentially lose to 1% of transgender boys? He loves his child, which is touching. I'm surprised as a lawyer he is not able to take a step back and see the other athletes that his child will be competing against. 1st- Cross Country, only 7 players are varsity the rest are JV. I would estimate most transgender's would take a slot from an actual female and make the varsity squate their freshman year. Which really means the one transgender boy could potentially be taking the spots of 3-4 different girls over a four year period. Track, any relay team would that a transgender competes in would likely again be varsity their freshmen year. Again taking the spots of real girls over the entire four year period.
What about Girls softball and soccer. For soccer it could almost be dangerous. I would not want my freshman boy competing with senior boys as it could physically be dangerous. Now you take a transgender Senior competing against all girls.
I know in most cases transgender boys will be taking medicine to reduce testosterone and in most cases will have a body type closer to a woman than a man. But I also know there are going to be some highly athletic ones as well.
In his example his transgender child was immediately happy when they let the child be a girl. Isn't that enough? We can't appease everyone.
Trans women have been competing at Olympic level competitions as women in the Olympics since 2004. Currently, NO trans women have gotten a medal at the Olympics. You don't seem to understand that a year on estrogen evens out a trans persons body and redistributes fat and muscle mass to be more feminine. They are women.
They aren't transgender boys, they are transgender women, they are identified by the gender they transition to, not their assigned gender. Just letting you know!

We share a world with millions of people who are naturally born intersex so we have to accept the fundamentals of men are men and women are women is derived from the same science that said women were women which meant inferior and undeserving of basic rights.

You wouldn't let them decide other things that are best for them, but you let them decide which gender they are? Makes no sense.
I just think that the law makers should first look for alternative solutions for transgender sport, probable create one, because it is understandable that female athletes will be at disadvantage if they allow transgender to compete with them. So let create one for them, we already have estabilished para sport for people with disabilities, then to avoid discrimination against transgender athletes and able to respect pure female sport, transgender sport will be the best
let me explain 2 things, I know this comment is over a year old but u can't have trans kids on a sports team with just trans people, trans people make up a estimate of 0.001% of the US and or world population and let alone how many of them want to play sports. The other thing, there have been studies done that have shown that trans people after hormones lose most of the their advantage. Anywhere u look in sports there is a biological advantage, for ex in basketball, you could be 6' and play against someone 5'7 it should be about ur athletic ability not gender and or sex
Great dad but its still unfair
Why do you assume that boys who transgender to female are physically stronger than the girls whom they would be playing with and playing against?
@@googlyeyedcat Pre-puberty it's not really an issue, but post-puberty males do start to develop a clear athletic advantage to females. Bone density and structure, muscle mass, distribution of fat.

What a wonderful birthday present. His daughter is lucky. Many trans teens have never had their parent’s support. Especially their father’s.
The entire premise of sports is to have a game that allows the participants to compete under the same rules. Last year, two biological boys won 13 of 14 Connecticut High School State Track Championships, many of them by wide margins. Boys and girls have biological differences that make competition between men and women in almost every sport NON-COMPETITIVE. The 403 ranked men's tennis player easily beat Serena Williams in a match. A U15 boys soccer team in Dallas beat the USWNT 5-0 in a match.
Children aren’t born hating their sexed bodies. Children and teens are extremely malleable. Children and teens are being encouraged to freeze their sense of self in a moment in time, during the period of life when everything is in flux. And even though key researchers have said over and over again that most gender dysphoric kids “desist” and grow up to be gay or lesbian and most grow to accept their biology; even though the latest research denies any such thing as a “male” or “female” brain, parents are encouraged to socially transition their kids, put them on “puberty blockers,” and refer to them by “preferred pronouns and eventually guide them to mutilate their genitals.
