In reply to: CLRG sort it out 's message, "Come on CLRG A Boy who is nearly 16 at the height of puberty in a girls competition are you actually serious! Where is child protection for the GIRLS huge advantage over them . This is what’s wrong !" on 04:21:17 12/09/24 Mon

This is a kid you’re talking about. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Live and let live. Who cares what gender someone identifies as (again, this is a kid! Keep your opinions to yourself . Kids need support and acceptance, and if dance is their thing, let it be a positive experience for them.) You can’t tell me you know where everyone will place every Feis and every major, whatever gender. Kids compete against other genders at local Feis all the time. Any bias I’ve seen seems to be giving boys high marks to keep them encouraged in the sport, not because testosterone gives so many advantages. It’s such a subjective thing to judge dancing, we all know. Hormones don’t make you a better dancer. Anyways, it’s a kid!!! Cut it out and be adults. If they want to go by she/her, honor it. What’s it to you?

No sorry we will be adults about it. He’s a BOY and we are protecting our children who are girls. And yes testerone has a major kick in at 16 ! So this will affect how he dances or stamina power etc. You be an adult and remove HIM from our u15 competition it’s a JOKE. And the Uk has stopped even st school referring to them as they etc -- Stand up to this nonsense, 14:52:34 12/10/24 Tue
- Boys have less flexible ankles than girls, they never have to dance slip jig at a champ level growing up, they're less graceful, etc. For every advantage, there's a disadvantage. If this were swimming, I'd be on your side. But it's not. Testosterone can't get you flexibility and rhythm. She's very beatable. Look at the light round scores. (NT) -- ADCRG, 03:14:21 12/12/24 Thu

  - I disagree ADCRG my son was able to go an amazing slip jig and his ankles could move! And at 16 puberty is massive in boys they literally go from being a skinny teenage kid to men! So actually power , strength and stamina will come into play. If HE wants to dance put your wig on in the boys comp (NT) -- Thank you, 09:27:12 12/12/24 Thu
    - No, sorry, put your son up against girls doing champ slip jig, and you'll see the difference. The ankles thing is a well studied concept in the ballet world, and why boys look horrible in pointe shoes. (NT) -- Again, beatable (ADCRG), 13:57:54 12/12/24 Thu
