Two things…
- had a boy play in goal Vs ours a few weeks back, was miles ahead of our keeper, and we lost because of it.
- this weekend we’ve been told it’s silent week, where we can’t even praise the girls, only allowed to clap.
Weird sport sometimes |  |

Never been anything other than encouragement from parents of both sides, it’s a league decision apparently, and teams up to adults (women) are encouraged to do the same.
And on the boy keeper thing… regardless of age group he wants to be a she, so they are playing him in a girls team.
So in order for one kid to feel happy another 9/10 need to feel sad that they’ve lost, and all came off complaining it wasn’t fair… aged 10
Fun times |
Not unheard of by any means, but can a child of that age really make an informed decision about their gender identity? I may be making a false equivalence, but if we all accept that a child can't consent to sexual activity because they don't understand it, how can they consent to this?
Fair enough if they want to be a she, but assuming no therapy or surgery has begun, then would they not be better playing predominantly with boys for the time-being? I don't mean to upset anyone who may be experiencing this sort of thing as a parent, but I can't see the logic in this. |  |

3 boys transitioning in one team?
I've also heard of a (large) school with 8 kids transitioning in one year.
Seems like more than you'd expect statistically and makes me worried. I realise this is *very* dangerous territory, but examples like this make you wonder about mental health, more than gender issues, although I've probably offended someone by asking the question and it is just a question. |
Girls aren't allowed to be tomboys any more, there has to be a label put on it and vice versa |  |

Depressing.
Give it a go and see what the kids think afterwards.
As someone who's been involved in kids football for many years, unless you've done it, I recommend reffing a game and seeing just how loud and intimidating it is with all the parents shouting - even if it is encouraging. [Post edited 2 Nov 2022 19:19]

I think every manager should gather all the kids and parents into a meeting at the beginning of the season, for every age group and say "None of your children are going to make it as a professional footballer, even if a few of them get lobster potted by ITFC or Norwich or Colchester, they will be spat out just as quickly, below 1% of academy players make it, so just relax and enjoy watching them play"
Sorry if that sounds negative, and against the grain of you can achieve anything you want in life, but that simply isn't true, better to set expectations early on, so the burden of parents pressure trying to live their life's through their kids doesn't happen anywhere near as much.
Anyway, That's my motivational spiel done for the day. |  |

3 in one team seems very odd, statistically speaking. |  |

I’m the regular home match ref. None of the other parents put themselves forward. | | | |

So you'll understand the point then. Well done for doing stepping up. |  |
