"Gabe Poulos, 22, had breast removal surgery at age 16 and has been on sex hormones for seven years."

A child is anyone under 18 years old and if you read just the highlights from what I posted you would see ages 17, 16, 15, 8 to 13 etc.

from the article "The World Professional Association for Transgender Health said hormones could be started at age 14, two years earlier than the group’s previous advice, and some surgeries done at age 15 or 17, a year or so earlier than previous guidance. The group acknowledged potential risks but said it is unethical and harmful to withhold early treatment." "Critics, including some from within the transgender treatment community, say some clinics are too quick to offer irreversible treatment to kids who would otherwise outgrow their gender-questioning. Psychologist Erica Anderson resigned her post as a board member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health last year after voicing concerns about “sloppy” treatment given to kids without adequate counseling. She is still a group member and supports the updated guidelines, which emphasize comprehensive assessments before treatment. But she says dozens of families have told her that doesn’t always happen." “They tell me horror stories. They tell me, ‘Our child had 20 minutes with the doctor’” before being offered hormones, she said. “The parents leave with their hair on fire.’’ "Gabe Poulos, 22, had breast removal surgery at age 16 and has been on sex hormones for seven years." "The new guidelines include starting medication called puberty blockers in the early stages of puberty, which for girls is around ages 8 to 13 and typically two years later for boys. That’s no change from the group’s previous guidance. The drugs delay puberty and give kids time to decide about additional treatment; their effects end when the medication is stopped. The blockers can weaken bones, and starting them too young in children assigned males at birth might impair sexual function in adulthood, although long-term evidence is lacking." —Sex hormones — estrogen or testosterone — starting at age 14. This is often lifelong treatment. Long-term risks may include infertility and weight gain, along with strokes in trans women and high blood pressure in trans men, the guidelines say. —Breast removal for trans boys at age 15. Previous guidance suggested this could be done at least a year after hormones, around age 17, although a specific minimum ag wasn’t listed. —Most genital surgeries starting at age 17, including womb and testicle removal, a year earlier than previous guidance.

Kids are being chemically and physically castrated before adulthood. It's not hard to find the research and guidelines that show it.

It's paid through the parents insurance just like any other medical costs for children.

Keep living in your fantasy world 70%er

They are. Physical and chemical castration is absolutely terrible for a persons heath.

I was on a flight one time with who I thought was Richard Sherman... turned out to be Waka Flocka Flame

Why else would they be granting elective surgeries and medications that puts people in much worse health than when they walked in? Is not the intent of the hospital to improve ones health and not worsen it??

To conclude: There are a number of heavyweights that could slot into the 5-8 AA range but McDermott does not seem to be in that group. Final verdict - case closed.

There are children in my own community that are being chemically castrated an there are children all around the country that are. You need to educate yourself on the carload of information that is available that backs my claim. Why do you think the medical community does not stand up and say that this is all wrong? Taking the body and altering it to do something that it is not intended to do results in horrible health. Instead of getting these people the mental health help and counseling that they need, the medical community is completely fine with telling them to pursue sex change. Why? Because when a young person makes that decision, the medical community is in for a 7 figure paycheck over the lifetime or that person. It will be a life riddled with surgeries, chemicals, medication and severe physical and mental health issues.

There are 100% children that are undergoing sex change operations. What those operations are is castration, either physical or chemical.

All states takes great pride in their colleges and like to see their college athletic teams succeed. I would doubt we see states lining up to start investigating students betting but rather use Iowa as a cautionary tale to look the other way. Furthermore, there are now lawyers on the defensive side that are saying what the state of Iowa did as far as geo-tracking the betting and such was not legal or constitutional. Should be interesting to see how it all plays out. An overzealous prosecutor might have gotten out a bit over his skis on the whole matter.

So, Ban, do you honestly think that as a society, we should allow children to be castrated?

I listed Trephan in the original group but stands to reason that Boone McDermott is not a threat to AA was the whole point. Unless of course he makes a huge offseason jump

Perhaps the difference in build has something to do with the fact that Dake wrestles 74kg and Snyder wrestles 97kg?? I knows it’s an out there thought but just throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks…

Would you be pretty surprised if those last 3 AA spots were not filled by Elam, Slav, Feldman, Carrol, Kueter, Trephan, Bastida, Pitzer ?

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but Braxton Amos is taking an Olympic Redshirt.

If you do not think it is wrong to permanently change a young child's gender than you are part of the problem. A child cannot vote or drink alcohol, etc because they are not mental and physically developed enough but they can hack off their body parts? The people pushing this agenda want our young people to hate themselves and want to change themselves. God made each person unique just the way that they are and loves them just the way that they are.

On the flip side Cleveland Belton has shown that he has the ability to beat AA level wrestlers such as Parker Fillius (7th) and Malyke Hines (R12). If he can get more consistent he could make the jump to an AA threat.

McDermott is not an AA threat in my estimation. He has never beaten anyone that has sniffed the podium.

Snyder does look like he needs to pack on some more muscle and get some more horsepower. That is surely something that has been lacking in his game.

Snyder is the man and seems to have 97kg locked down for the foreseeable future. Some USA guys that was had age level success are Rocky Elam (Jr Workd champ at 92kg) and Tanner Sloan (U20 and U23 silver).

Starocci would be my pick for highest level of confidence based on his dominance and the field of competition. Brooks will be a big favorite as well but there are some hammers at 197 to deal with in Sloan, Hidlay, Elam..

Or maybe Chance just has hit number. He took a match off JB when JB was the world champ.
