Transgender boy (girl?) wins Texas hish school wrestling championship

This was an initial thought of mine as well.
My concern would be that single stall bathrooms with locks would become hook up closets.

One of the members of our National Rugby team got up to shenanigans with a female acquaintance in a wheelchair friendly toilet at an airport last year.
He was dumped rather quickly by his girlfriend.

I would have thought that CCTV cameras, carefully angled so as to monitor traffic but not to provide pornographic videos, would resolve this problem...as well as that of drug-dealing which apparently is also a problem in public bathrooms.

It would be difficult for me to express how vehemently I'd be against cameras of any description in public school restrooms.
Are you literally out of your mind?

That is just Tass.

On the topic of the thread, I just listened to a really interesting and touching podcast on one of my favorite podcasts, Love + Radio. A sensitive story about a woman who started the transition process, but after a number of incidences, questioned and then ended the process before it got too far, and eventually came to terms with her body and sexuality. I think it's a message that both sides of the debate could get something out of.

I don't do well with sensitive stories.

Come to my school, you'll change your tune the first time you find a giant pile of crap in the sink.

In all public restrooms actually, provided thy carefully angled so as to only monitor traffic. Why the vehement opposition?

How completely unfair!

Transgender weightlifter wins women’s competition, sparking debate on fairness

A man, identifying as a transgender woman, recently dominated a female weightlifting competition, sparking debate on fairness in sports.

Gavin Hubbard, 39 — now going by Laurel Hubbard — is a New Zealand weightlifter who dominated the Australian International weightlifting competition in Melbourne on Sunday. Hubbard lifted 590.9 pounds in the women’s 198.4-pound division, out-lifting the competition by 45 pounds.

Hubbard is the first transgender individual to win her division in this competition.

While many may find this progressive and a reason to celebrate, some of Hubbard’s competitors aren’t seeing it quite that way.

"Olympic Weightlifting New Zealand is calling for more research into transgender athletes..." Ok. Like they're all scratching their heads trying to figure out if it's fair that men win female weightlifting events.

"Olympic Weightlifting New Zealand is calling for more research into transgender athletes..."

I would have thought that the hormonal treatment for those who've transitioned into women would eliminate the advantage. But if it can be shown that it hasn't then they should be treated like all drug cheats in sport.

But really, the point of this thread is to mock transgender folk, isn't it?

Oh Adrift, you're such a card.
