Imagine a 14 year old BOY getting a shoulder off a biological man.

Does that happen in organized GAA games much?

In smaller clubs you will get 14 year old boys who have a bad birthday playing Minors so yes that would happen.

The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) has introduced a new policy that allows transgender women and girls to play the sport except in circumstances where an "unacceptable risk" arises.

The new policy, which was ratified on Wednesday, states the association "is committed to the inclusion" of transgender women and that it "will not tolerate any harassment or discrimination".

The policy applies to all transgender women and girls over the age of 12 who seek to play or continue playing the sport.

Transgender players "who have transitioned or are transitioning from male to female" are required to make an application to a new Transgender Application Committee.

The lunatics have taken over the asylum. Madness. No one knows where this ends. Women compete against women in sport so the playing field is level and biological differences between men and women are removed. We are aiming this policy at about 0.5% of the population and to hell with the 50% who are women.
And this is why people rally against what seems only small changes in policies. It is a slippery slope. Much like the whip debate in horse riding. They're out to placate a tiny minority.

Utter madeness.

Why don't we set up camps and detain all those who are different?
That'll teach them!
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

It's mentioned on another thread here about all the crazy parents there are on the sideline, imagine what it would be like if a trans player injured their young daughter or kicked the winning score in a youth game?

Interestingly enough one of the most recent episodes of the new Quantum Leap series tackles this issue with a high school girls basketball team.

There was photos going about on whatsapp last year of a lad who decided he was a woman playing for some ladies team in Dublin. Looked about 40 and was balding. Madness

Unsurprising you are in support of this

It is only a matter of time until there is either a serious injury resulting in a challenge from a man on a woman on the pitch, or a serious safeguarding issue arising from this. Expect court cases and media column inches running for miles.

I don't understand why they have to colonise ladies gaelic football.
Why don't they have their own trans league ?

I heard they are "colonising ladies football" just to annoy people on message boards

But that's ok?

We're not worried about the physical disparity and risk of injury in those cases?

What about the early maturing and late maturing lads at underage in general?

I was a small 14 year old and didn't start to shoot up until I was into u-16. I came up against lads a foot taller and 3 stone heavier. Don't ever remember any pearl clutching over it.

Women's sport in the long run is finished.

It's a difficult topic. I can see issues from both sides. The only certain thing about it, is that it's going to be a real hot potato for organisations to try and manage delicately.
