Soccer Star Rapinoe Dismisses Parents Concerns Over Trans Athletes
I think she over estimates her influence, popularity and importance. Plus, her stand is selfish, since SHE is not the one having to compete with biological men. She is near the end of her career, so she is not taking any risk. That's one ugly dyke, inside and out.
Quote:After the recent decision by FINA to restrict trans athletes from women’s sports, women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe voiced support for trans athletes competing with women during an interview.
She essentially dismissed the concerns of parents, to no one’s surprise.
Amanda Prestigiacomo reports at the Daily Wire:
Megan Rapinoe Tells Girls, Parents To Suck It Up Over Trans Athletes: ‘Your Kid’s’ ‘Volleyball Team Just Isn’t That Important’
Soccer superstar and political activist Megan Rapinoe argued in an interview published Sunday that female athletes and their parents need to suck it up over advantages biologically male transgender athletes might have over girls.
The forward told Time magazine she is “100% supportive” of “trans inclusion” in girls sports, dismissing concerns about fairness while emphasizing that people “need to understand that sports is not the most important thing in life.”
Rapinoe also argued that high-level sports are all about “regulation,” which the athlete apparently believes can erase trans athletes’ advantages. A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that’s not true.
“I would also encourage everyone out there who is afraid someone’s going to have an unfair advantage over their kid to really take a step back and think what are we actually talking about here,” the 36-year-old said. “We’re talking about people’s lives. I’m sorry, your kid’s high school volleyball team just isn’t that important.”

RE: Soccer Star Rapinoe Dismisses Parents Concerns Over Trans Athletes
Dear Rapinoe, the reason you never got paid as much as the men is because women's soccer "just isn't that important."
Works both ways.

So if sport isn't that important, why do trans need to play with the opposite sex?

One thing I’ve noticed in this trans debate is that people who do not have children summarily dismiss parental concerns as no big deal.

Soccer Star Rapinoe Dismisses Parents Concerns Over Trans Athletes
Why can't the trannies be the ones to "suck it up"? It's weird how they expect the rest of us to conform to their twisted view of the world.

She is a disgusting piece of trash. In her view, Americans should throw out 250 years of culture and history that we are built on to bow to her kind so we don't hurt their feelings. Well, **** her and the world would be a better place if she would swallow a shotgun barrel and pull the trigger.

I’m confused. Is she saying that playing sports is a life/death issue for trans people and not that important for others in back to back sentences?

Saying junior high boys would beat the women’s national team shows what a moron Shapiro continues to be. That being said Rapinoe is wrong too.

RE: Soccer Star Rapinoe Dismisses Parents Concerns Over Trans Athletes
Tolerance and acceptance/support are very different things. I don't think most people really care who someone lays next to at the end of the day, as long as they are consenting and don't require someone else's financial support to do so. However, the transgender mania is over the top and a bridge too far. No way should a sane person be forced to reinforce a deranged person's mental illness to make that person feel accepted and welcome. These people are sick, 41% suicide attempt rate, and are working to groom and desensitize young kids who have no understanding of transgenderism and should not have any understanding of transgenderism. Let them be just kids for the few years they have to do so. I am tired of "being the bigger man" and accepting things that are not only against my religious beliefs, but also counter to basic biology and proper English grammar. Enough is enough.

I cannot get this link to work, but I recall the boys team as U15, which would be a mix of 8th and 9th graders. To be fair, likely some of those kids were HS freshman, but Chappy's point is valid and well-made.

And the 1992 Dream Team lost a scrimmage too. Also how many of the women’s team starters were playing the “informal scrimmage”

Oh just STFU already. You got made to look like the clown you are because you didn’t actually look something up before posting.
The 1992 Adult men’s dream team didn’t lose to a bunch of kids.

We are also talking about an under-15 boys team. No excuse or rationalization works for that.
