A 9-year-old girl is suing a centuries-old Berlin boys’ choir, arguing that her bid to join was only rejected because of her gender, in a case that has sparked debate over equal rights versus artistic freedom.
The State and Cathedral Choir is one of the most renowned boys’ choirs in Germany, founded in 1465 by Fredrick II of Brandenburg. Over its 554 years, it has never admitted any girls.
The girl, whose identity was not revealed to protect her privacy, auditioned with the choir in March and was rejected, according to the Berlin administrative court that is to rule on the suit Friday.

She's suing, so why is her identity being protected?

She needs to tell them she identifies as a boy. Problem solved!

Shame on her parents, and societal notions that little boys and little girls cannot have their own spaces.

There is apparently nothing that liberals and "feminists" will not ruin out of jealousy and spite.

Our City had a Boys’ Choir for years and no one complained. Members were chosen. My brother was one. They usually belonged until their voices changed. Kings College in Cambridge has one of the most wonderful boy choirs. Young boys’ voices are uniquely beautiful...

I guess if it's ok that "boys" participate in girls' sports because they're faster and stronger, it's ok for girls to sing in a boys' choir because they have higher voices longer. I mean, let's just dismantle every organized everything and descend into the anarchy the left is aching for. /s

This sort of thing is stupid, as has been the forced caving in of all the previous organizations that are no longer selective as they once were.

I don't blame girl; even she knows a boys choir is for boys. Why was she allowed to audition?

A young girls voice and a young boys voice are not musically interchangeable. There is a sound and style to boy and mens choirs. Her mother, who brought the suit, is the entitled bratty feminist in this instance.

To add to #6's insightful post, if any of you people, with an ear for music, heard a boys choir, you would agree that the purity of boys voices in those choirs is incredible..
And here is a bit of trivia - what happens to boys when their voices are going through the changing process? Bell choirs were created to keep them in music.
Second bit of trivia - boys keep their falsetto voices forever - most just don't use the little boy voice. Freddy Mercury was an exception.

The message is not for us. It is for the generation coming up. Girls do everything with boys, including joining the military and going to war.

The feminists are cutting off their nose to spite their face. As soon as you tell boys they can't have their own culture and history, their own place and their own space, they will come back at you 2x as hard and say the girls and women can't have their own place and their own space.
That will be the end of spaces for females, whether it's bathrooms or shelters or concerts or choirs --- and obviously, the end of women's athletics.
You've got to take responsibility for the long-term cultural consequences. Feminists will realize that the sexes (and there are only two, neither more nor less) need their distinctively different cultural spaces --- and if they destroy them, they will reap what they sow.
