Not all discrimination is bad. Sometimes it makes sense, like not being unfair to women by allowing biological men to compete against them in contests of strength and speed.

Why do folks vote for foolish people like this??

It's discrimination against genuine women if you do.

WTF has happened to Minnesota!? That’s obviously rhetorical. Is anyone surprised when a state imports those from a sh*thole country it turns into a sh*thole state? Conversely, if a mass influx of Swedes were headed to America, the left would build a “wall”.

Much as I hate to say it, maybe it has to get a lot worse before it gets better.

So I suggest playing it out to the logical end: Force artificial ‘equality’ for transgenders to participate in women’s sports, and let biological men clean up. Eventually, the idiots might realize how stupid this all is.

As a backward immigrant Muslim, she’s still trying to learn of the nuances and subtle contradictions of American post-modern leftism - but she’s trying!

Yes. It is Discrimination. Without discrimination there is no rational society. Discrimination is purely and only the ability and practice of being able to discern differences between things. Preferring a ball to a cube is the action of discrimination. Preferring a housecat for a pet rather than cotton mouth is discrimination.Choosing to write with a pen and not a shoe is discrimination. Being able to discern that a pen is not interchangeable with a shoe is discrimination.

When the men finally start winning every sport because of this gender of the day non-sense the women will demand separate but equal again.

A couple of years ago I remember some (pro) transgender comments from a (liberal) family member regarding the use of toilets and that they should be able to use what they “identify” as.

I told her that the left has not thought this through. I specifically mentioned the concept of “girls” losing college scholarships to men whom identify as female and that Title IX will lose any meaning. ...seemed obvious at the time - now we’re seeing men being allowed to compete in women’s sports and win almost every time.

Insanity.

There’s only 1 best in all sports. Anyone should be able to compete. Same for team sports...a mix of men, women, trannys, whatever. The winner is best and there is only 1. Dump all women’s sports. They can compete at a single level. What a bore to watch women’s hockey...they should be playing against men...they could have men on their teams if they wanted. The best team is the champion. Only one.

That nutcase has it backwards, it is discrimination against women to allow men in their sport.

Where are the women? Have they completely capitulated? No heroines fighting for women’s rights?

We are seeing the erasure of women, the frontlines of the war against women :(

She is right.

Of course that does not mean that it is wrong anymore than not letting a seventeen year old play Little League is wrong.

Which is what she is implying.

The next time some Muslim women’s group demand pool time or beach time for women only, a bunch of men should crash their party by declaring themselves women for the day.

Give her a break. She is a Muslim and it is her duty to help destroy this Republic and build a Caliphate.

Yup! I agree! Flood women sports with “men”! Bring the whole dam system down! And put women in the NBA! At least one women must play at all times. And, they must play in a bikini! That’d up viewership for sure!!

She knows it’s not discrimination. It’s sworn duty to muck up America in every way possible. Islam is a war plan.
