In reply to the discussion: Allred: "I'm a dad. I'm also a Christian... I don't want boys playing girls' sports" [View all]Jack Valentino
(3,020 posts)33. Are there even any trans people, who think that 'girls' should have to compete against 'boys'
in girl's sports?
And are there even ANY people who identify as 'boys', trying to compete against girls in women's sports???
Seems to me that Allred was addressing GQP 'framing' on this issue, and debunking it.
The GQP's framing of the issue is that "whichever sex you were born, that sex you remain"---
but we know that this is not necessarily nor scientifically true, any more

OP
Do you live in Texas? Do you know that we have "boys in the girls' bathroom" commercials ad nauseum here?

I think your criticism of Allred's statement on this issue is to accept GQP framing of it---

Just a suggestion on another possibility, I don't want to 'get into spoons' either--

We used to have what I thought was a guy cleaning the women's locker at the gym. Then one day someone said, "It's a she"
