Okay, now we know what constitutes a male and a female.
Patrick Cordova-Goff is a 17 year old high school student in California. He is transgender, and apparently has been for years, I must say I am not sure that a child of 17 could have understood the complex issues surrounding transgender issues ‘several years’ ago but hey, what do I know?
Anyway, Pat as he likes to be called now has made the Azusa High School girls softball team.
“We feel really confident about her ability,” Azusa Unified Superintendent Linda Kaminski said. “No. 1 as a district, we want to ensure access to everyone, but we’re also committed to placing students on the team on their merits … Based on her skills, Pat did make the team.”
Okay stop a minute. HER ability? She is actually a he.
Now I know that there’s a big thing about freedom of expression and allowing people to be themselves but a line has to be drawn somewhere.
This is getting silly.
When this young man, for that is what he is, decides to change the nature of his sex and undergo reassignment surgery then he will have some of the characteristics of the definition of a female, ie, a sexually functioning vagina, and hormone treatment can create a female appearance.
Until this happens he is a male, and that’s that. He can think female, act female and call himself female, but he is not female.He could at any time of his choosing and with a willing partner initiate regular heterosexual, man/woman sexual intercourse, and this is something females cannot do.
It takes more than not using a penis to be a woman. To be a woman, you must not have a penis.
So, a question.
How many penises have to be on a girls softball team before it is no longer a girls softball team?
I chose my words carefully there, and quite deliberately. As the term male and female tend to be getting blurrier by the day by referring to gender applicable body parts I know where I am and what I am talking about.
Added to this is the suggestion that Cordova-Goff was not going to make the team, but a hastily convened meeting between the school, Cordova-Goff and his attorney soon straightened that out. You can read his full story here.
Now maybe I am old fashioned, or maybe it’s because I’m female, or even because I’m British, but I openly admit I don’t get this California thing. Mixed bathrooms, boys on girls teams…WTF?
I have no issue with homosexuality, I have no issue with transgender individuals, I do have issues with the needs of the few constantly over-riding the rights of the many.
Partick Cordova-Goff was born male, is male, and will remain male until he has gender re-assignment surgery. I would be damned if a child of mine, a child of either sex, would be forced to accept a member of the opposite sex using their changing facilities, toilets and showers, school team or no school team.
I ask you, what are the parents of these teenaged transgender kids thinking? Do they really feel the need to be so uber-trendy that they allow their children to become public pawns in a political game?
What happens if this young man decides that actually he is a boy and wants to become a man, not a woman? Will this incident haunt him? Even if he maintains his present course there will always be the suspicion that he wasn’t good enough to make the team, that he only got on the team because of his sexuality not in spite of it. What a horribly mixed up way to move towards adulthood.

Unless he gets nailed in the crotch with a line-drive, I don’t see how his genitalia can affect a softball game, but the proportions of his arm bones will make a big difference, and give him an unfair advantage.
The section of a girl’s arm between the elbow and the shoulder is longer relative to the section that runs from the elbow to the wrist than it is on a man. A man’s longer elbow-to-wrist arm section gives him more leverage for throwing a ball, and that’s why girls “throw like girls.”
His penis won’t help him, but his male arm bones will, so he should therefore be excluded, and I think that’s why they have girl’s softball leagues in the first place.
No comment.
Oxymoron. Even that was a comment. lol
I know, Hatr…. but it’s the best argument for kicking him off the team, and the only argument that won’t have you branded a gayHatr by the pervert lobby.
LOL. I was being totally facetious, JR. I simply meant that the subject of this article is so sick and so far out in left field as to render me speechless to the point of not being able to come with a valid comment to post.
That doesn’t happen too often.
Schoolers.
You have to be totally screwed in the head to think this OK.
