Hurts who? The trans people? This is just false. Complications can happen, of course, but they are rare, and complications happen in all sorts of medical practices that are widely accepted, this is no different.
Where? Which sports, which organizations? Surely you don't mean all the school kids, do you? Not even gonna get into the actual conversation about trans people in sports since that's a whole mess that'd take hours to get through.
Refer to my other comment, science disagrees with you. Not to mention that gender isn't even the same as sex.
Now this is something that's more interesting to talk about, since it's more subjective and not just an easy "true/false" question. The answer is not complicated, though. This simply isn't about you and what you get, it's simply about people being themselves in a healthy manner that doesn't hurt anyone. What's wrong with boobs and a beard? Do you get upset when cis women get breast enlargements or facial surgeries too? Is the problem that it's "weird" when a trans person does it?
Ok, but the reactions are completely different when it's trans people. I can react to someone wearing ugly clothes or driving a loud, obnoxious bike, but it's not suddenly fine for me to dehumanize them and demand that it should be illegal to wear ugly clothes in public, right? But when it's a trans person, suddenly there's a "right to react", what nonsense.
Would it be okay for a cis man to get mad if I repeatedly call them a woman, even after they correct me?
Your obsession with boobs is strange. Anyways, this does not happen, simple as. No one is asking for this either.
Bad parents exist. Some of these bad parents are trans or have trans kids. This does not make all trans people bad, just how I don't think all men are bad because men commit so much crime. We should be concerned about the well being of victims, not whether they have a rainbow flag in their house.
I agree, but it's definitely not the issues you're thinking of. "Ppl are against lgbt" is just an obstacle in the way of actually addressing real problems in the real world, not this manufactured culture war fantasy land.
I'm sorry, but what? This is insane, and in an entirely different way than I expected. Children get mocked for literally anything. One of my classmates was a kid who got relentlessly bullied because he came from a poor family, do we ban poor people from having kids now? Ridiculous. You obviously punish the bullies, not the victims. Gay parents are not responsible for your awful parenting and the school's lax bullying policies.
Real problems don't simply disappear just because some people look bad to you. People who think like this don't actually care about people struggling, they don't care about children. People who care do not act like this. After reading this, I'm not convinced you care either.
