Is the GTHL inclusive to none binary players?
Why wouldn't it be?
I don’t know the answer, that is why I’m asking, genius. I don’t want any issues when I sign up my child and people don’t use their proper pronouns of they, them.
As mentioned, all coaches and players go through training on this, and it's pretty well done. How seriously people take it? Not that seriously in my experience, but if a coach knows he will have a player that this pertains to, I would expect them to take it with more attention, and ensure their team does so as well.
That said, it also doesn't mean the coach won't occasionally throw out a "lets get em, boys" type comment out of habit (I was guilty of this one year when I had a girl on the team). If you accept that these are not malicious and just mistakes, and move on, you'll be fine. If you make a federal case out of every time a kid on the bench says "we gotta pass more, guys", you're in for a lot of conflict.
Ultimately, I would expect the vast vast majority of every player and coach and official to do their best to be respectful. There will be some who are not. If you encounter one, escalate it to the coach or referee. There's no tolerance for this anymore.
