Students have repeatedly vandalized Pride posters at Spencer Lyst’s high school in Williamson County, Tennessee. Teachers have skipped over LGBTQ issues in class textbooks. Trans kids in his state have been legally barred from competing on school sports teams that align with their gender identity. Parents have called on school officials to remove books about sexual orientation and gender identity from the county’s elementary curriculum. And while leading his school’s Pride club at a September homecoming parade, Lyst and other LGBTQ students were booed by a group of parents.
“I’m so used to it, but it shouldn’t be something I have to think about,” Lyst, 16, said of the near-constant feeling of being attacked at school because of his identity.
He even said it’s “difficult” to walk into the school bathroom for fear of what or who “might be in there.”
“Like, can I go to the bathroom or am I going to get hate for just existing?” he said.

As a Christian these people appear as outliers from the norm an my opinion doesn't really matter.
That being said, out of fairness a Male who identifies as a Female should not be allowed to compete against actual females in sporting events period. There are physical differences that cannot be undone with a name change and a different hairstyle that make it an unfair competition. If they wish to compete they should compete as the sex they were born as.

Downvote for your questionable sense of what is fair. Evidently you feel it is FAIR for a man to compete in athletics against girls to take away scholarships and potential Olympic berths.

As Christian I want to know How does LGBTQ line up with the word of God ?(2)Some Indirect Thought from others tells me That the Word of God say to Love the Sinner, but Hate the Sin therein .(3)Such is the case , Such Things as being shared by Non -Christians say, it’s a choice one makes and such is that , Why is their a need to have those who Are In this Area of Trying to seem like Get others to approve of such when I notice Mental Health Care is needed ?,
or is it needed ? Love is that , Encouraging everyone to Forsake such choices and Seek TheWord of God .Such is the mentioned Issue, Is Their A Heaven for LGBTQ ?I asked cause Sodomy is wrong, And Similiar ways ofLife choices (3)When is any of this Not Like Rape, Molestation, ?Heavy Issue indeed!
