LGFA welcome Transgender players.

This is absolutely sick ...... what have the Gaa become

People will just end up voting with their feet. And not engaging with the sport.

biological men are generally significantly stronger, faster, taller then women.

Ladies matches only last 30 minutes per half. Aside from weather influences on play… men statistically make far more scores then the ladies, are generally taller, faster with more all round physical attributes and ability to perform…

what happens when girls start loosing places in teams and squads ? The shît is going to hit the fan.

this is a massively dumb as fûck OG by the LGFA…. Trans rights seem to trump anyone else’s rights and wellbeing.

I’m sure nobody consulted the girls, players, coaches, etc….

Clearly this is wrong and anyone who argues otherwise is a zealot who doesn't understand basic biology.

My sister plays rugby at a high level and I would't be happy with her having to take the risk of playing someone who is biologically male. Women are nowhere near as strong as men.I have younger cousins who play ladies football.

It's bad enough having biological men competing against women in non-contact sports but to allow it in a contact sport is a disgrace.

The world is upside now. Minorities are now more important than majorities. The smaller the minority group the bigger their voice. Politics is dictated those who shout loudest. It no longer matters what the democratic consensus is. Hardly worth voting on anything anymore as some minority group or other will take over the agenda anyway and twist the narrative to suit their agenda.

The government would live up your hole with health and safety legislation in the workplace or schoolyard. But a biological male now has licence to physically challenge a 15yr old girl as long as she's carrying a football. It's time for this nonsense to stop.

Mod Edit

Warning issued.

It's disgraceful isn't it. Imagine have the cheek to except someone to call you by your preferred name, just outrageous. What is society coming to when people think that is acceptable?

I'd have a feeling there were talks with the GAA, and they were encouraged to go down this route if there was to be a chance of an amalgamation in the future.

Check out the riddle scale for what the aim is. What the minority want is full affirmation and nurturing. Even acceptance is seen to be against them.

The existence of a scale doesn’t tell you anything about what the aim is. I have a 3M measuring tape, does that mean my aim is to be 3M tall?

This is purely inflammatory stirring things up.

Call yourself whatever you want, that's your business. But don't tell me I have to believe it or respect it.

I'll decide for myself if I agree with it.

LGFA made a bad call here but I doubt there will be much uptake. If men start turning up to play women's football there will be such a scene each time it wouldn't be worth it.

It tells you that even acceptance and tolerance is seen as a negative and the only thing acceptable is affirmation and nurturing.

The cry initially was to show tolerance and accept me for who I am. That's now deemed as hatred.

The chances of them been any use at football would be slim enough they are more than likely be in the category that start leaving the game before they get to U-13.

Does your daughter often play against players who are stronger than her at present?

What i'm saying is anyone who is likely to be transition to a woman likely has little interest in playing football.

It seems to me that size, weight, bulk, fitness, strength would be the key characteristics that would impact how hard a tackle may be, rather than gender. A weedy, skinny, light 16 year old boy or trans girl isn’t going to have much success going up against a powerful, fast, bulky, heavier 18 year old young woman. We can all pick extreme examples, but if there measuring for testosterone, they seem to have the key points covered.

It’s hard to see the rational basis for these concerns when they’ve never restricted players by size or weight or strength before.

I replaced tv in the house last week. The missus picked up and tried to move the old tv from where I left it and said 'Jesus that's heavy' and stopped trying to move it.

It didn't feel remotely heavy to me. There's your difference

Try asking a fit forward from a LGFA club team to lift your telly.
