Sports are designed to build character and discipline, and are thus valuable to younger people.




Women, due to differences in muscle mass, size, and fat content, cannot compete on equal footing with men. One simply needs to look at the world's records in different sporting events to confirm this.


It is absurd and defeats the notion of fair competition to allow people of dubious gender to compete with women. All should compete within their own bizarre category, or compete with men.

Nancy has somehow decided that the Transgender Activists will bring more votes to the Democrats than WOMEN will ..... which is absurd

OR .... she is giving in once again to the Radical Leftists in her caucus.

You choose which

Yeah, imagine if you could get a college full-ride scholarship by identifying as trans?

Got some young guy with good but nowhere near college level talent and he can just *poof* identify trans and punch not just a ticket to free tuitiion but room and board too? Save himself 200k?

It's not hard to imagine that in this wide wide world that some guy, especially if he's Bi but not trans, would be motivated by that sort of incentive.

If true, I have to wonder. Is there any low that the dems won't stoop to? Will they do anything to secure a few votes or to come across as the cool party?

Anyone who has read my posts on transgender topics knows that I am supportive of their rights. This legislation is bad. Lets face facts. Most transgender male to female are not like what you see in the movies or south east Asia. They typically have masculine bodies and matching masculine strength.

Give the transgenders their own league to compete in.
