That would take a lot of courage , those girls lives would be ruined

the woke loons are evil people
Yes it would, but no, no one’s lives would be ruined (what a drama queen statement!) Women show an enormous amount of courage daily in a world dominated by men. Just to get the vote took courage. To walk down the street takes courage. To be an athlete takes courage. If the athletes stood together they would have the upper hand, but then a group of men would try to tell them how they should act. Women aren’t helpless, they are the stronger sex.

you live in a fantasy world if you don’t believe in the current environment that these girls lives wouldn’t be ruined , how do you expect these girls to get jobs , there are people getting fired for tweets they made in high school

Praising women does not excuse mistreating them.

The NCAA/HRC standard is that women should all have to be the good girl and pretend they don’t mind when the women’s first place is awarded to a man.

That’s nonsense. Of course they mind. But they don’t want to give up all hope of an endorsement deal by getting labelled “transphobe.”

So they smile for the camera and pretend to be the good girl. But don’t confuse that with reality.

How many times has that happened?

GOP Utah governor vetoes transgender athlete bill, citing high suicide rates: ‘I want them to live’

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox became the second Republican governor in the past week to veto a bill that would have barred transgender athletes from competing in girls’ sports, writing an impassioned letter to state GOP leaders on Tuesday explaining his decision.
Get the full experience.Choose your plan
Cox cited “fundamental flaws” in the legislation, known as H.B. 11. But chief among the governor’s concerns were the mental health impacts such a bill could have on transgender youths in the state, he wrote.
Cox’s decision to veto the bill highlights divisions within the Republican Party on the efficacy and morality of bills restricting the lives of young trans people. GOP leaders in Utah said they plan to override Cox’s veto, which would require approval from two-thirds of the state’s lawmakers.
Indiana’s GOP governor vetoes bill banning transgender girls from female sports in schools, citing ‘unanswered questions’
In Cox’s letter, which was also posted on Twitter, the governor cited several reasons he was going against H.B. 11. He raised concerns about substantial last-minute changes to the bill’s content; the potential economic and legal backlash; and a “broad misunderstanding” around the participation of transgender youth in sports.

Thanks for the link. Cox's position is well thought out and respectful to both sides. Definitely worth a read.

Both sides my ass..."chief among the governor’s concerns were the mental health impacts such a bill could have on transgender youths in the state, he wrote. "

Hey @dad4 what about the mental health impact on ACTUAL girls and women when this male freak walks in a public bathroom?

His mental health impact will be the least of his worries if he walks in on my kid.

I have no problem with women and children first. It's "traditional" as it's the future of the tribe.

I do think the premise of



is beyond dated as if to say there is nobody else, hence making any principled women & mothers redundant/useless, especially when you are talking about a societal "issue" where men have no more or less to say than women.

To the whole trans gender thing, oddly enough only this week my son was out helping a neighbor and came home and mention another neighbor, let's say Mike. I said, do you mean Mary, and he replied, no, it's Mike now as he identifies as a he. No big deal to him, didn't make any type of deal with it, it just is what it is. It seems to me, by this thread that it's the parents - us older folk - who seem to have an "issue" with it. The kids aren't bothered either way. We could learn from them.

As for the sports aspect, well the swimmer in Q clearly has a physical advantage because of maturing as a male. That doesn't strike me as particularly fair from a sporting perspective, but I'm ambivalent to it TBH. Its college sports, not life or death stuff. It's also rare. There are far more important things that deserve far more attention.

I believe your "principled" response would be quite different than my "principled" response when this male freak walks in on you and/or your daughter versus my daughter in a women's bathroom.

Like all “discussions” in here (that some take personally for some reason?) it’s a pointless argument. One can vent or point out some of the reasoning involved, but it’s just an exercise in futility. The realities are so twisted the truth is never quite reached as ideology and ego get in the way. Write your representative don’t act as if something is being settled in here of all places! Lol!
what are you talking about - is biology not as straightforward as you would like?
 
I mostly agree with not allowing men to compete in women’s competitions, but the disgusting way most posters have portrayed the issue demands rebuttal. Let the competition committee’s decide . . . as conservatives use to say (not many real conservatives get a say anymore as they are screamed down by trumpist) “let the market work it out”. If women don’t like the committee’s decision they should boycott. Seems like another manufactured culture war issue where there isn’t much there there. If you can’t get by on policy make stuff up.
read out loud what you just typed. Please point out the disgusting way this has been portrayed.
 
I don't agree with you comparing these things because they have nothing in common. Don't assume because you know what that does.

While sports is definitely not as serious as school shootings and insurrections, it is very meaningful to a lot of girls who dedicate a lot of time to it. I'm fully in support of everyone's right to do as they wish until it infringes on others ability to do what they wish too. When there are conflicts, we have to work them out to see how best to deal with the conflict.

You're not listening and minimizing other people's concerns. If sports is really insignificant, ask transgenders not to participate in them. After all, they're insignificant so it shouldn't matter to transgenders too. If you're unwilling to do that than don't ask that of genetic females. Competitive sports is significant because people spend a lot of time and passion towards it.

I'm not sure what the answer is but I do know there are legitimate concerns to work through. Transphobia is not the issue. You can't throw out name calling "phobia" words at every turn to shut down any conversation.

No one wants to stop transgenders from enjoying their lives or living their best lives but conflicts exist and need to be resolved.

If transgenders want to play a sport to be with females, then why not just stick to rec sports where athletes are not dedicating significant amount of hours to compete? If they want to be in a competitive environment, it should align with the science chromosomes because female sports were created separately for genetic females due to scientific differences.

The "conflicts" have been resolved in favor of allowing transgender participation in women's sports. This was resolved 20 years ago with the IOC and more than a decade ago with the NCAA.

Yes, I can use the word transphobic when it is appropriate, and it is appropriate when someone cannot even accept the legitimacy of the arguments in support of transgender participation in women's sports. It is also transphobic when people make fake and irrational arguments to oppose transgender participation, such as "it's dangerous" when we're talking about someone swimming in a pool and no one in NCAA history has ever been injured in over a decade because a transgender woman participated in college sports or how the 19th century definition of "woman" is a sports rulebook, or how a transgender woman in the restroom means the end of the world. The problem here has nothing to do with me being "unwilling" to understand and accept the arguments against transgender participation in women's sports. I understand them quite well. The problem is that people like you and your more obviously transphobic friends cannot understand and accept the arguments against transgender participation in women's sports. I've weighed the pros and cons and picked one side, but you and your friends aren't willing to weigh anything. You can't even muster the willingness to accept that there are legitimate arguments on the other side of the debate. Instead, you're making ridiculous claims that "no one wants to stop transgenders from enjoying their lives or living their best lives", which is utter rubbish and you know it. You and your friends obviously want them out of sports. You want them out of the women's restroom. You want them out of being able to get married if they're in love with someone of the same biological gender, which also means you want them out of the favorable tax and intestate succession laws you enjoy. You want them out of any business that doesn't want to sell services or products to them. You want to be able to keep mocking them like micpapa because you think it's funny. It isn't funny for the reasons the Utah governor tried to veto the law.
 
Just here to remind everyone that leftists attempted an 8-MONTH long, NATIONWIDE insurrection in 2020.

Don't let anyone distract you from that. They will try anything and everything. They will immediately straw man to Jan/6. Ignore it. Keep pressing. Leftists are dictionary defined terrorists.

Transgender nonsense, inflation, Ukraine, gas prices, climate change, stock market.....all pointless when we have literal domestic terrorists in this country already nationwide; these leftists are ready for a call to action at a moments notice by the democrat establishment media and corporate machine. Don't forget it.
