“Why can’t I wear a dress to church like Grace?” she asked at age four.

Just let him wear it... honestly. You're gonna try to change the laws just so you don't have to explain to your kid why sports are sex-segregated? I don't want to hear a damn thing about him "not being allowed to participate in sports". Just play with the rest of the boys and continue cheerleading. When I was in high school, cheer was not sex-segregated, it's just that very few boys join. Stories of "trans kids" make me sick. Everyone is lying to this little boy. If only he (or the adults who are responsible for him) had the capacity/care to understand how royally they are gonna fuck this kid over if they "transition" him hormonally and surgically.

cheer was not sex-segregated

Why even sex-segregate it? My understanding is they can do a lot more complicated routines with the boys able to lift the girls.

The US literally had a president who was a male cheerleader in college. while he was dodging the draft. and his supporters called his opponent in one election a 'metro-sexual' and they mocked his opponent in the previous election's primary who was a veteran (and a monster, but they were cool with that). Now that I've said that, they will declare GW Bush the first trans president like they declared Stormie De(I'm not even going to try to spell the rest of her name) to be trans.

It's so absurd, I lived through the "dubbya" years. It's why I tuned out so much of the 'Orange hitler man bad' nonsense and didn't lose my mind like so many Democrats - been there, done that. They called GW a nazi, and Hitler, he was going to bring about WW3... hell, I had a bumper stick that I'm mildly embarrassed thinking about now: "Why change horsemen mid-apocalypse" as a criticism to voting for him for a second term. And now it seems like the media and left love him? Give me a break. I'm not dumb enough to support their crap anymore.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if they did declare him the first trans president. Seems mild compared to all the history they're already rewriting.
