Gender is not a decision we can make, this is so stupid it’s amazing.

Many states now have laws where a person can choose their rest room based on how they identify. Today, the men’s room, tomorrow, the ladies room. Sadly, we have lost our collective minds.

I'm confused by your response to my statement that women are afraid of retribution if they complain. That's true.

Here's an article stating the women on the swim team wanted to fight this but were afraid they'd be called transphobic.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ia-Thomas.html

See how easy it is to control people? Accuse them of something, falsely or otherwise, and people start self-editing.

I'm all for rights of transgendered folks, but not if it violates the rights of others, and this is a clear hindrance against female athletes.

If you're going to make blanket statements like this, you need to back it up with a link to a survey proving that what you're claiming is correct.

Until that happens, it's nothing more than your opinion.

In the wake of female athletes being crushed by transitioning males athletes sane females will who support this kind of thing will reconsider.

I apologize. I was half asleep when I posted last night. I must have meant to reply to a different post, but I couldn’t tell you what now. Please ignore the post.

If this was meant for me, no need to apologize.

Been there, done that.

I’m pissed off that women my age had to fight decades for Title 9, and now we are having to fight AGAIN to maintain some integrity for our hard-earned right to compete.

Trans people are totally deserving of good lives free of prejudice and disadvantage. Those rights don’t include trampling on the rights of biological women.
IMO it has nothing to do with discrimination or competitive fairness at all.
I don't care if trans-identified males are missing a foot and two thumbs - they should NOT compete against women.
Why not?
BECAUSE THEY ARE MEN.
