LGFA welcome Transgender players.

We’d better hurry up and protect women from those dreadful trans women.

Oh wait, no, she was put into a wheelchair permanently by a cis woman.

I certsinly wouldn't call it a sad situation though. You get to tell your daughter what she can and can't do while parents of trans girls get to have their kids play sport in and diverse and inclusive organisation. Not only that, but they also wouldn't have to deal.with parents like you and vice-a-versa. If anything, this should be celebrated as a great situation.

I never suggested you were transphobic. I do 100% beleive that parents of trans children and parents who believe in providing an inclusive environment for trans children would have zero interest in interacting with you.

Form there own club or organisation? I'd be amazed if it was even possible to field a team of 15 transgirls of any age in Ireland tbh.

No, but there are parents who want to bring their transdaughter to play sport and the reality is, playing with the other girls team is far more appropriate. Despite you disagreeing. As I said, you can take you daughter to soccer and completely avoid LGFA. Everyone's a winner.

Nope.

I have no problem with males having an opinion. It's the internet, any idiot can have an opinion about anything.

What I do find strange is that men, especially the men on this thread, seem to think they should be the ones to decide how a women's association should operate and what policies and procedures they should have in place. I have no idea why you feel you be the one to decide the transgender position of the LFGA.

As I said, i have no problem with you, or any other man here, stopping your daughters playing. The fac is I'd be very much of the opinion that the LGFA, and other parents with kid's in the LGFA, will be much happier with that too.

How exactly are they way behind Camogie? They have more members and more people attending their games. The reality is this decision won't have any negative impact on the LGFA.

Are people allowed disagree with anything now or should they just move on once decisions are made? Just as the decisions was made, so can it be reversed.

Stupid post. Maybe you should move on.

Of course they are allowed disagree.

Look - have your big rant on social media about it; that should really change things, if thats what you want...🙄

It seems very controlling. I have a sister, if she has a problem with things she voices her opinion on them. I mean, if it's such a massive decision the women members of LGFA will all speak out and make it clear that its not acceptable. I don't think they need you do it for them, but here you are, insisting on doing it.

How does it not make sense? Which part can't you grasp? The reality is the numbers they will lose due to this decision is going to be tiny, the numbers they gain will probably actually be a lot more. But you think differently, and are of the opinion that membership to LGFA will fall off a cliff and nearly everyone will leave over such a "massive decision". We will find that out very soon.

You made the original claim, I let you provide a source for that first.

Triggered? Me? Oh the irony. Your the own who's started a thread about an organisation that you aren't member of, aren't allowed be and member of, and have no interest in being a member of but are giving out about the decisions this organisation make. But yep, I'm the ones who triggered. Lolol.

They can also leave the LGFA. Which, obviously they will all do in droves now too.

It may certainly hasten the end of that useless organization and they will join the GAA properly.

Greenspurs has to make decisions to protect his CHILD. It's his legal duty, which you understand as a parent I presume?

Is your sister a child? If she is do you owe her the same duty of care as a parent owes their child?

You might want to educate yourself on the contribution made to LGFA by men. Start with the Hall of Fame list.

Interesting comment. I assume then that you dont have a daughter?

Because if you dont, then it is simply not possible for you to get it. The safety and protection of ones children is an inherent and biological desire for most species, from humans to nearly every other animal on the planet.

I have a daughter that will be starting training with the underage group shortly. I am horrified at the thought of her being put at additional risks by being forced to come up against individuals that have inherent biological advantages. I also have a son that started with the underage group last year. I would be similarly horrified if he was forced to play against kids older and more developed than him. Its the exact same scenario for trans athletes. Boys generally are built bigger than girls, thats not some makey uppy thing like gender idealogy, its scientific fact. A boy going through / gone through puberty will generally be bigger and stronger than the average female. By allowing men to play against women it has obvious unfair advantages from an athletic perspective and it also presents additional risks to participants because of these unfair advantages. I genuinely struggle to comprehend how people cannot see this.
