#8 - I oppose males competing as females. This question offers too many double negatives. #9 - Allowing? Parents shall govern their child, not the State. #10 - Empowering non-heterosexual identity with greater rights than others based on the whim of deciding to have sex with non-opposite genders is a discriminating act on its own. This mentality led to the holocaust.
