The Minnesota Child Protection League is at it again. The anti-LGBTQ organization paid for a second full-page anti-transgender ad in the Star Tribune’s Sunday paper this week. The ad comes as the Minnesota State High School League reconsiders this week whether or not to allow transgender high school students to participate in athletics based on their gender identity.
“The end of girls’ sports?” reads the ad in bold letters at the top. “Her dreams of a scholarship shattered, your 14-year-old daughter just lost her position on an all-girl team to a male — and now she may have to shower with him. Are you willing to let that happen?”
The MPCL published an anti-transgender ad in the Star Tribune last September in lieu of an October vote by MSHSL to allow transgender students to play sports based on their gender identity.
However, MSHSL decided to table that decision because of significant pressure from opposition, and postponed the vote until Dec. 4.
Both ads have drawn major heat from the transgender community and civil rights advocates for the misleading fashion MPCL is portraying transgender people and the issue at hand.

This makes me very sad for the LGBT people you may have in your own families. This is some mean-spirited, hateful shit. I hope you develop a conscience at some point and are truly ashamed of yourselves for the way you behave toward people different from yourselves, but somehow I rather doubt that will happen.
Subhumanoid assclowns.
"your 14-year-old daughter just lost her position on an all-girl team to a male
and now she may have to shower with him. Are you willing to let that happen?"
A textbook example of propaganda: an emotional appeal that "circumnavigates the intellect!" (Kirk Cameron)

If she lost her place on the team how is she sharing a shower with her teammates? Consistency: the Sisyphean boulder of the fundamentalist.

But girls shouldn't be allowed to have sports teams because feminism.
So her stats went down because she can't stop thinking about man-parts in the shower? What?
If she's on the tennis team, I don't think a man in the shower is anything to worry about. /Groucho humor

Why?
No, seriously. Even if Ms. Fox were a man (which she isn't), why would that be disgusting? There's a big difference between a man slapping, punching, and/or choking the bejeezus out of his wife/GF for failing to have his dinner ready on time, and two well-trained, well-conditioned professional fighters squaring off in a prize-fight. I, for one, wouldn't see anything wrong with a 135-pound male MMA fighter going up against the likes of Ronda Rousey, Misha Tate, or Cat Zingano.
Athletic skill is just of the sum of practice and luck anyway. If it's not fair for a cis girl to lose a spot on the team to a trans girl, then why is it fair for a cis girl to lose a spot on the team to another cis girl who had more athletic parents?
You can't make sports fair, unless you just had some kind of "how many hours did you practice with supervision" contest, which would be very boring.

The assumption is that transgender people can give a more objective account of their true nature than non-transgender people. But is there any scientific evidence that transgender self-reporting is especially objective? The very fact that they can be gender confused suggests otherwise. Probably a Christian with a clear conventional understanding of male and female would have a better grasp of the facts.

Lets tell children some girls have penises and some girls have vaginas and some boys have penises and other boys have a vagina. Put on pants and you are a boy, put on a dress or a skirt and you are a girl.
SexEd some girls will have periods, and others are going to have wet dreams. Name it and claim only works for fraud Christians and assholes pedaling The Secret.

Indeed there is such: Medical autopsies performed on confirmed tg/ts indyviduals revealed their brains to be physicaly of their perceived gender in by the most cases, good enough for you? In case you still have troble getting the pictuce: transgender is a form of intersexed, only it`s a specific case of it. It is a genetic condition, not a mental one.
If your daughter lost her position on the team, she won't have to shower with anyone on the team, surely? Besides, the one she lost it to is female, that's why she's on the girls' team, silly.
Cowards!
@Shitlord:
It's not a matter of self-declaration, it's a matter of self-determination. If someone can't bring themselves to think they're a man, if they feel feminine and identify more with women than with men, then they're a woman- regardless of whether or not that person has a cock like a fire hydrant.
And nobody's forcing you to play along. By all means, choke on your ignorance in self-imposed isolation, far from where those nasty ol' trans-folks can force you to expand your perceptions.
@Anton
Apart from Skide's anecdote about trans brains being physiologically identical (more often than not) to the sex with which they identify, there's this little logical chestnut: what reason would they have to lie about it or make it up, when doing so subjects them to discrimination, hatred, violence, and the idiocy of internet dumbfucks? There are no benefits accrued from altering one's gender identity (apart from having one that actually fits you), and several drawbacks, so why would anyone do that to themselves if it weren't the only way they were able to live with themselves?
@ Mad Jester. They lie about it because they are confused. It makes them irrational, self-defeating. As for the rest of your pseudo-scientific apologetics, brain physiology in an autopsy says nothing about the state of their consciences and the quality of moral character. Dunces like you reinforce their confusions.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
