A trans teen withdrew from the girls’ division of an Irish Dance contest in Florida after the organizers were pressured by state officials to kick her out. However, it is unclear whether the girl’s participation in the competition would have actually violated any law.
“No young person should become the center of a political fight simply because they want to participate in the activities they love,” said Public Policy Manager for Equality Florida Quinn Diaz in a statement. “At a time when Florida is competing to attract visitors, talent, and major events from around the world, the question for our leaders is simple: will we send a message that our doors are closed, that ours is only a state for some? Or will we make it clear that everyone is welcome here?”
The Irish dance contest is governed by the Irish Dance Teachers’ Association of North America (IDTANA). That organization has trans-inclusive policies that allow competitors to decide how they compete. They have previously defended those policies, and the community has supported that move, including by setting up a petition to the Dublin-based governing body, An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG), to voice their unequivocal support for the inclusion of trans dancers.
This is what they want. They want trans people to just disappear. And it’s blatantly sexist as well. You’re telling all these girls that they can’t dance better than a biological male? Florida continues to be just the worst.

Their basis of drumming up support from the masses for this:
-Leviticus 20:13
Leviticus 20:13 actually means no butt stuff with women and no vaginal stuff with men. It also originally intended missionary only for man on woman and saving doggy style for man on man, but as long as you don’t have overlapping sexual acts and positions for the straight stuff and the gay stuff you are in the clear.
It’s a continuation of the whole “no mixed fabrics” thing and is part of God’s autism expression along with foods not touching on the plate.
Nuance isn’t something that their brains can handle.
To them its simpler and easier to say “gay = dead”
That’s kind of a crazy take. How does one come to that opinion given the very simple and direct text?
Seems like a straightforward interpretation to me. They could have just said “If a man has sexual relations with a man, both of them have done what is detestable”, but they chose to add the “as one does with a woman” bit.
Exactly! Leviticus is Old Testament, and there is nothing more integral to the Torah than rules lawyering whatever God says.
Tell them to give up pork and shrimp too, and they’ll go on about “jEsUs BrOuGhT uS tHe NeW cOvEnAnT!!1!1!1!1!”
Lies with a man, not has sexual relations. Also, don’t wear clothes made from different textiles. Death penalty.
Didn’t say they were logical. Its just the one part of that specific book they agree with because its “icky” to them.
Bronze age rules is how far a major part of USA has come!
But her higher muscle mass will give her an unfair advantage (/s obviously)
No. They want a political distraction so you don’t notice that both parties support the corporate agenda equally.
The trans community is (sadly) just collateral damage. It could just as easily be hippies, Jews, juggalos, Justin Timberlake fans etc.
