Marine and the Hippie 210710 S01E21- On Transgender Children in Sports

The Marine and the Hippie

In this dialogue, we discuss issues around transgendered children playing sports in school. We conceptually separate the issue of children playing sports and the separate issues of transgendered adults in sports and the idea that some deviant sociopaths are attempting to take advantage of changing attitudes around transgender identity to hurt people. The main thesis is that children ought to be able to participate in sports in schools regardless of gender considerations, and that focusing on gender and transgender issues is a distraction to the larger ideas that kids should be able to participate in school sports, regardless of their gender identification. We also discuss ways that the society can change to begin accommodating those of a different gender identity, for the sake of kids having an opportunity to participate fully in the experience of being a kid.
