    Default Why won’t women stand up?

    Has the trans lobby been so successful at bullying people that women won’t stand up for girls being forced to compete against physically superior males in sports?

    All of the strides women have made to become top athletes are at risk of being lost because too many women are sit on their hands afraid of being transphobic.

    Can anyone give one good reason why females should be allowed to compete with males?

    A few women have "stood up" to the bullying, and they were bullied some more.



    HE SAYS HE'S A GIRL - DEMOCRATS SAY THE SCHOOL HAS TO LET HIM BEAT GIRLS



    The DEMOCRAT-controlled House of Representatives voted Friday 236-173 in favor of the Equality Act, which would require schools to include male athletes who identify as transgender girls on female sports teams.

    Republican Florida Rep. Greg Steube introduced a last-minute amendment to the bill that would have preserved Title IX’s protections of female athletic teams, but DEMOCRATS rejected it.

    Every House DEMOCRAT but one co-sponsored the legislation. The only DEMOCRAT who wasn’t a co-sponsor, Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski, announced his support for the bill following pressure from left-wing activists.

    Three former elite female athletes, Doriane Coleman, Martina Navratilova and Sanya Richards-Ross, warned that the Equality Act would wreak havoc on women’s sports in an April 29 Washington Post op-ed.

    “The legislation would make it unlawful to differentiate among girls and women in sports on the basis of sex for any purpose. For example, a sports team couldn’t treat a transgender woman differently from a woman who is not transgender on the grounds that the former is male-bodied,” the former athletes wrote. “Yet the reality is that putting male- and female-bodied athletes together is co-ed or open sport. And in open sport, females lose,” the three women warned.

    House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a DEMOCRAT from New York, insisted the bill wouldn’t put female athletes at a disadvantage.

    “Many states have sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination laws, and all of them still have women’s sports. Arguments about transgender athletes participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity having competitive advantages have not been borne out,” Nadler said.

    In Connecticut, one of the states to which Nadler was referring, two male runners have dominated girls’ high school track. A female competitor called the male runners’ advantage “demoralizing.”

    Who is Michael Obama? Is he a friend of yours and you are confused over his sexuality? There is no need for you to feel confused over sexuality. If you are having trouble a therapist may help. Give it a try, and good luck, please share your growth experience online other conservatives may learn and be helped too.

    Any male who dresses up and pretends to be female has a mental deficiency.

    I think sometimes that discussions like this belong in another sub category. But there is disagreement among women over trans issues. Personally I say live and let live so long as it hurts no one. But complexity confuses some and slippery slopes are everywhere.

    You don't think a male competing in women's competition hurts anyone?

    Women and girls forced to compete against men pretending to be "women" don't get any "adversity points," do they?

    People born with male genitalia are not "female."
