I can't help but think that somebody is playing a game of chess, and doing things to manipulate public opinion. Basically, we have congress people introducing bills that will hurt real women who are at a disadvantage physically to the male body, while at the same time, will be subconsciously creating prejudice by the public towards transgenders with this bill.

Anyways, sports can always come up with a plan that a DNA test will decide where you can compete, and maybe even ban certain hormone drugs from being in the system during competitions, which can make it more fair again.

Not only are natural born women having to go thru life with the knowledge that they are physically inferior to men, but now they are also inferior to women who were born men. Bye, bye women's liberation, hello to the insanity of Democratic Party pandering.
Listen, the democrat party's sole goal is to destroy the United States of America, and the best way to do that is by dividing the people with identity politics. They will have every demographic fighting against each other and become so distracted that they will fail to see how the democrats, as well as the RINOS, are stripping away their freedoms and liberties, one bill at a time.

There is no such bill. What is being discussed is the "Equality Act" which extends civil rights protection to LGBTQ persons. It is not about sports participation but much more broad protections for this class. Opposition from the right is focused on potential transgender issues as a smokescreen for their bigotry toward LGBTQ.

Unfortunately I think they’re all too serious about this bill. They really believe that gender is a construct and as long as these male to female trans are on hormone blockers, it puts them at a disadvantage to athletic females. Transgenders have worked hard to “win rights,” and we know Democrats are never going to tell marginalized people they can’t get what they want. It doesn’t matter if what they want marginalizes other people. They’re too afraid of the activists to tell them no.

The only acceptable plan is to keep segregated sports the way they’ve always been. Start all trans leagues if these people want to compete. Otherwise, they need to sacrifice their desire to play sports. It won’t harm them not to play sports.

Every K-12 male should "self-identity" and flood the girl teams. If you want change with all of the nonsense out there these days, you have to beat them at their own game. Make things as ridiculous as possible.
