Well, I can't say you don't have the Male inferiority complex down pat, that's for sure. Alright Shaq, since you're itching to play with the guys, ask your coach to try out. If he doesn't want to give you a chance, Ask the team if they would let you join in on an after school game to prove you're worth the chance. Don't expect them to go easy on you. Keep trying until you get the chance to put your money where your mouth is, so to speak. You'll also see how open minded they are and whether it's right for you. Seeing and doing are two different things. You'll either be given a chance or you'll have to fight for it.
You've got spirit, I'll give you that, but you certainly need to choose your words more carefully. Insinuating that Women aren't competitive is fighting talk, especially around here. Many of us did the things you want to do before we transitioned and still do. Some of us were high school captains of Football, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, etc. Some of us raced cars. I myself enjoy time on the shooting range and I'm pretty decent with a rifle and handgun. When I was in Air Force Basic, I was the top marksman of my flight. The RAF Regiment wanted me to transfer over to train as a sniper. I turned them down because of the short life expectancy and less pay I would get in my chosen career path. And I don't even know what the guys have done here.
