Let me start by saying, I love most people and believe do what makes you happy. However there are boundaries. You do you, but allow me to feel how I do.
Should Transgender female participate in female sports? Absolutely not. Why not start a co-ed league for anyone who wants to participate? There are guidelines to every sport and biological males are built different. They make weight classes for wrestlers for a reason, and age divisons for a reason. You wouldn't want a 180lb man wrestling a 100 pound man. Someone is bound to get hurt. Or a freshman football player tackled by a Senior who has bulked up. A 13 year old body is much different then a 17 year old.
Should trangender be allowed in bathrooms of their preferred gender? If the bathroom has stalls with doors then I don't see why not. I remember growing up in Napa and seeing Miss Terri in bathrooms a well loved trangender. You only know because as a child you notice when feet are backwards and they pee standing. Miss Terri did so much for our community. https://www.timesheraldonline.com/2008/09/15/miss-terri-changes-lives-1-wig-at-a-time/
But I don't believe locker rooms are appropriate. Especially school age children. You can't guarantee the child won't get excited and that's not fair to them or the females they share the room with. It would cause confusion, if your a transwoman why did other woman excite you? Or you are a trans and get confused because you can't control your body. Same with trans boy. If he uses a male locker room he could get bullied or beat up or worse. Kids can be cruel.
A transwoman in an adult locker room could get excited even on hormones and possibly get charged with assault, indecent exposure or worse. They could trigger females that have been sexually abused and thought they were in a safe space.
For the safety of everyone they should have Co-ed locker rooms as well.
Should you allow drags shows in schools or libraries? No there's a time and place for those. Normally you would have to show ID to go to those clubs or venues. Keep kids innocent. They are only young once. I wouldn't want Chip n dales or other strippers at the school either. https://youtu.be/X1QH7PD1hAM
If a drag wants to read a book have them read one then maybe fireman, nurse, tradesman read another. Kids are innocent and won't discriminate unless taught. Exposure is ok as long as the book isn't promoting sex or adult topics.
Should Transkids be allowed to change their body, not until after 16. I wanted to be a boy to pee standing up and play on the little league team. I also remember wanting to be a Cowboy, Indian, Unicorn, Butterfly and Wonderwoman. I outgrew all of those. Around 16 kids usually can validate how they feel and who they want to be. Most kids know by that point if what they feel is real. Until then you have to wonder is it a fad? Are they not getting the attention and love they need at home so by changing maybe they will? Are their friends doing it, or seeing teacher or family member manipulating them to believe they need to? Many factors come in play and some things can't be reversed.https://nypost.com/2022/06/18/detransitioned-teens-explain-why-they-regret-changing-genders/
I believe a lot is parents. I personally know two families who's parents influenced the child. They would have been transitioned at an early age if this was a thing thirty years ago. My male friend in high school was very flamboyant and I assumed he was gay. One day at work he confided in me tears in his eyes that he was an only child and his mom wanted a girl. She dressed him in dresses at home, kept his hair long and put him in ballet classes against his wishes. I was shocked and in disbelief, who would do that? One day his mom brought him dinner into our work calling him a female version of his name, he blushed and grabbed his food. As soon as he turned 18 he left home never to look back or talk to his mom. He was confused for a long time because of all her manipulation. He eventually married and had a family.
Another friend had 3 sisters, her dad was desperate for a boy then they had her. Bought boy clothes right away, kept her hair short, wouldn't allow her to play with her sisters dolls or wear there hand me downs. Same scenario she left at 18 and disowned her family.
I don't care if your trans or not, but don't want my grandchildren exposed to things before they need to. Elementary and middle school not the place. High school sex education would be appropriate as long as the parent signs permission slip. When one of my daughters wanted to know about sex at six she had heard the word. I took our her dad's and my driver's license and showed where it say sex m or f. She was satisfied for a few years. One child I had to explain a lot more early on as she was extremely curios the others could care less. You as a parent do need to have that conversation when child is ready or they will hear it from friends.
Trans are people like everyone else who have wants a needs and want acceptance. Ru Paul, Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox are living there life, inspiring others. I would love for Caitlyn to get a goverment position.. There's a time and place for everyone and in my opinion the suggestions above helps everyone co- exist peacefully and more acceptance. Everyone matters!!
