"Gender division promotes health, attitude, and culture.
Posted by sean56z"

Maybe it promotes your attitude and culture, but the rest of us would like to be free. Imposing your attitude and culture is called bigotry.

The world is full of crazy ideas about why people should be forced to do what is "right." The right religion, politics, attitude, culture, education, values.

And yet there are so many competing versions of the right. Why are the self-assured who would force us to do their will so blind? Because they only care about themselves, not you.

I am grateful for the sep of church and state. I am 54. Lady this is is so rude of ye. I am not a womeb's libber. Women and girls been held back. Let the girl do her best. Too often ye turn alot of folds off. Due to her gender she changes into baseball uniform in a different room. They take her gender in to acct. Any way Lady,I would rather her play ball,
The bible is out dated. Ye worried about this girl.In my day girls were groomed for marriage. I wanted no part of it. This girl is is playing ball and so bome are having aizzy..Get over it. Let her play while she can. Now ye go dear.

Homosexual girls should not play baseball. Gender division promotes health, attitude, and culture.

In some cases, gender division promotes homosexuality.

this is a nice story. lets all see what happens when her body turns into a full fleged woman.she'll prob. have some problems to over come. but if you can play softball i don't see why you couldn't play baseball.i think they need to change baseball anyway. they need to put shock devices on them and maybe add a few lions on out in the field so when they miss a ball or run into one another they would get a surprise. i don't like ball players. i feel like they make way to much money.(so lets put some lions on some chaines to take some of these greedy ball players out) playing ball is just that playing ball your shouldn't make ten millions dollars to run out their and hit a ball or strike out. thats why were in the shape we are in. paying people way to much money for a monkey job. sorry this mostly had nothing to do with her..

This is a great thing and I hope she continues to do well and receive support. I also hope that a boy who would rather play softball is allowed to and receives equal support.

I also find it interesting that while women insist on "equality" and the media gushes over that sort of notion in sports, we have two separate golf tours...PGA and LPGA. And women who are "good enough" have the opportunity to play the PGA. Doesn't that imply that one league is "better" than the other? Do men who are NOT "good enough" to play in the PGA have a chance to play in the LPGA? When will their day of "equality" come?

These sick, pathetic trolls on here ranting about homosexuals and god need to put their prejudices exactly where they belong--where the sun never shines. This girl deserves every opportunity to take her skills as far as she can, even to the pros if she's good enough.

go girl go, and to mrs entity and sean56z, when were you appointed a judge by god and can make such comments about this girl. her gift is from god, and she should be able to take it as far as she can. leave the hypocritical judgements to yourselfs. marti, take it all the way to the top, break the glass walls and ceilings that keep women from competing with men. be the first, lead the way and forget about the naysayers. . . YOU CAN DO IT.

We women should not play sports and cheer for the boys from the sidelines the way God intended.
