A conservative group, protesting a proposal that transgender students in Minnesota be allowed to play high school sports, went the full shower route in a full-page ad in the Sunday Star Tribune.

The Child Protection League's ad blares, "A male wants to shower beside your 14-year-old daughter. Are YOU OK with that?" on the back page of the newspaper's sports section.

The Minnesota State High School League is expected to approve the proposal at a workshop on on Wednesday, and enact it at its board of directors meeting on Thursday.

Under the draft policy, a female-to-male transgender student who has started hormone treatment can only play on male teams. One who hasn't can play on either team. A male-to-female student must provide evidence of testosterone suppression therapy.

The shower policy requires school districts (when possible) to provide private shower and changing facilities to any student athlete who requests them.

It also bars school districts from revealing that a student athlete is a transgender person.

"Choosing to be true to one's self — despite challenges that may come with the journey — is an integral part of realizing not just one's own potential, but of realizing the true nature of our collective human spirit. This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK

Why do these turds keep beating this dead horse of an argument?

This is what I wonder- how many people have ever been assaulted in a locker room by transgender people?  I've only ever been assaulted in them by cisguys.

Having a towel snapped at your groin by another 16 year old male, and another one who actually kicked me in the crotch a year before were both memories I "cherish" from high school.  I agree with Jill.
I refuse to have a war of wits with a half armed opponent!!

Wiser now about Post Op reality!!
