A teen boy, that self-identifies as a girl, was allowed to compete in a girls’ state championships in Alaska. The boy, Nattaphon Wangyot, dominated the compe ion and will advance to the finals with All-State Honors In Girls Track And Field. The decision to let the student, that is biologically a male, compete in girls’ sports has caused an uproar in the community. An organized protest to prevent teen girls from competing against students that are biologically male has been launched in response.
Nattaphon Wangyot was allowed to participate in the girls’ compe ion due to a state law that allows each individual high school to determine whether or boys can compete in individual girls’ events. The Alaska Dispatch News reports that boys do not need to go through hormone treatment to be eligible to participate, the only requirement is that the boys self-identify as girls. The policy states that school officials will consider several intangible qualities to determine whether or not the student truly identifies as a female. The official school policy states:
“FOR THE PURPOSES OF GENDER IDENTIFICATION FOR INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES, THE DISTRICT WILL CONSIDER THE GENDER IDEN Y BASED ON THE STUDENT’S CONSISTENT DECLARATION OF GENDER IDEN Y, THEIR ACTIONS, AT UDE, DRESS AND MANNERISMS,”

After losing muscle mass due to hormone therapy probably not
I'll pull a cosmiccowboy and say go Google it
Google doesn't seem to know. You said you think Doctors should make the determination. I even gave you one possibility that you ignored, probably because you didn't know what I was referring to.
Had no idea. Thx.
I did some research and came up with an excellent test.
But does your BRAIN have a penis or a vagina?
A 6' 1" Renee Richards in her early 20s vs Tracy Austin and Chris Evert - I think so. Maybe not, Martina Navratilova - but it was only at this time that Martina started the fitness/lifting weights push. Earlier, she had weight problems. The women's tennis tour, in general, didn't do the physical training that they do now - nor were they are tall and big as they are now.

Even with hormone therapy they would retain most of the original muscle mass with an athletes diet and exercise. Maybe not as much of an effect in tennis but there could be a huge performance gap in track and field, volleyball, softball, etc.
Mind = Blown
Huge difference between men and women in tennis too. Remember 17 year olds like Boris Becker, Michael Chang and Mats Wilander were winning Wimbledon and French Opens in the 80s - they would kill top women players.
You really can't find any doctors anywhere that diagnose gender iden y issues? Took me about 10 seconds on the googles
Lol old.
I'm being serious, this was a 2 minute Google search:

actually, no, of course. hormonal therapy (blocking testosterone, adding estrogen) for men causes loss of muscle mass, muscle pain, loss of strength, tone, osteoporosis, loss of libido. ing with hormones for any purpose is super risky, with lots of known bad effects.

Transgender woman arrested in voyeurism incident at Idaho Target
An Idaho man who told police he identifies as a woman was arrested Tuesday after allegedly taking photos of a woman in a Target fitting room, officials said.
Sean Patrick Smith, 43, was allegedly dressed in women’s clothing when he entered the fitting room in the women’s section of the store in Ammon on Monday, East Idaho News reported. Smith, also known as Shauna Patricia Smith, then began taking pictures of a woman in the changing stall next to him, police said.
“The woman was begging for help as she chased the man out the door,” a witness told East Idaho News. “She kept saying she wanted those pictures deleted.”
Detectives found Smith on Tuesday and charged him with one felony count of voyeurism. He was booked into the Bonneville County Jail and was set to make a court appearance Wednesday.
Target announced in April that “transgender team members and guests” were welcome “to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender iden y.”

Georgia Court Says It's Legal to Film Video Up a Woman's Skirt
Justice is blind—unless it's looking up your skirt.
In a win for folks who believe women's bodies are public property, the Georgia Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a supermarket employee who followed a customer around the store, secretly recording a video of the view up her skirt.
Citing a "gap" in Georgia's criminal statutes, Judge Elizabeth Branch and five colleagues ruled earlier this month that "upskirting" is permissible under current law.
"It is regrettable that no law currently exists which criminalizes [the appellant’s] reprehensible conduct," Branch wrote.

The Target boycott is costing more than anyone expectedTarget survived the boycott after they banned open carry from their stores. These are the exact same people boycotting.....again
A boycott against Target over its bathroom policy seems to be costing the retailer more than anyone expected. The boycott started in April after Target announced that it would welcome transgender customers to use any bathroom or fitting room that matched their gender iden y.
The announcement triggered an immediate backlash. Critics said the policy opened the door for sexual predators to victimize women and children inside the retailer's bathrooms, and more than 1.4 million people signed a pledge to stop shopping at Target unless it reversed the policy.
But Target didn't back down.
Now shopper traffic is declining for the first time in years, and the company is installing single-occupancy bathrooms in all of its stores to give critics of the policy more privacy. The new bathrooms, which already exist in a majority of Target stores, are costing Target $20 million to install, Fortune reports.
The company revealed its traffic declines last week when it reported second-quarter earnings.
Target's same-store transactions, which is how traffic is measured, fell 2.2% in the second quarter. Overall, sales fell 7.2% to $16.2 billion.
"In the second quarter, our No. 1 challenge was traffic, which affected sales in all of our merchandise categories," Target CEO Brian Cornell said last week on a call with analysts.
Cathy Smith, the company's chief financial officer, added: "Traffic performance showed a meaningful change from prior trend. I want to pause and make it clear that we are not satisfied with our second-quarter traffic and sales performance."
In the past, even the most widespread calls for company boycotts have tended to blow over within a matter of weeks to months.
Chick-fil-A, for example, faced a nationwide boycott in 2012 after Dan Cathy, the son of Chick-fil-A's founder, S. Truett Cathy, set off a fury among gay-rights supporters when he told Baptist Press that the company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family."
Following Cathy's remarks, reports emerged detailing Chick-fil-A's many charitable donations to organizations opposed to same-sex marriage.
Despite the backlash, Chick-fil-A's sales soared 14% in 2012.
Investors seem unsure of the long-term impact of the boycott on Target's sales, however.
The retailer's stock is down 1% since the start of the year.

NCAA pulls championships out of North Carolina over bathroom law
The National Collegiate Athletic Association will pull its championship events from North Carolina over the state's recently passed law that that critics say targets gay people and transgender people.
The NCAA had previously awarded seven championship events to North Carolina, but announced Monday they would be relocated after the state passed a law barring transgender people from using public restrooms that match their gender iden y.
“Fairness is about more than the opportunity to participate in college sports, or even compete for championships,” Mark Emmert, the NCAA president, said in a statement," according to The New York Times.
“We believe in providing a safe and respectful environment at our events and are committed to providing the best experience possible for college athletes, fans and everyone taking part in our championships.”
The NCAA also criticized a law that prevents local governments from passing anti-discrimination laws that include protections for sexual orientation or gender iden y.
“We are surprised and disappointed by the NCAA’s decision and regret the impact it will have on North Carolina's student-athletes, coaches, athletic staffs, fans, and the North Carolina communities previously chosen to host these championship events," UNC President Margaret Spellings said in a statement.
"As reflected in long-standing University policy, UNC campuses do not discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation or gender iden y, and we are fully committed to being open and welcoming to individuals of all backgrounds.
"We remain caught in the middle of a conflict between state law and federal guidance, and we welcome a speedy resolution of these issues by the court.”
North Carolina's Republican Party slammed the decision, calling it "so absurd, it's almost comical."
"I genuinely look forward to the NCAA merging all men's and women's teams together as singular, unified, unisex teams," spokeswoman Kami Mueller wrote in a statement.
"Under the NCAA's logic, colleges should make cheerleaders and football players share bathrooms, showers and hotel rooms. This decision is an assault to female athletes across the nation."
Two months ago, the National Basketball Association announced it would move its All-Star Game from Charlotte as a protest against the law.
Numerous entertainment acts have also canceled events in the state.
The Human Rights campaign Monday applauded the NCAA's decision.
“The NCAA just sent a clear message to North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory and state lawmakers that it will not tolerate hateful laws targeting student athletes, fans, and employees,” said Chad Griffin, president of the group.
“Every day that HB2 remains on the books, countless people across North Carolina are at risk of real harm. NCAA President Mark Emmert has shown tremendous leadership by taking a bold stand for equality in the face of discrimination. It’s long past time state lawmakers repealed this vile law, and if they don’t, the majority of voters opposed to HB2 will ensure they pay the price in November.”
I've already come out on the side of unisex bathrooms. But I think the term "countless" is being used a little liberally there. We're not talking about the number of atoms in the universe here. That law probably hurts 2,000 people a day at most (yes, yes compared to the 0 or near-0 people who would be hurt if the law were repealed).
