Tenn: Republican Lawmakers Introduce A Bill That Will Put An End To Transgender Athletes Competing Against Women

Society has decided to allow gender-confused men to dictate new rules in competitive sports. All this was done in the name of political correctness. Isn’t biology the reason we have separate sports competitions?

It seems that biology isn’t a leftist favorite subject!

A top-ranked runner in NCAA women’s track is dominating the competition and setting records one year after competing as a man at the same level.

But that wasn’t an isolated incident and similar cases are reported every day.

Transgender weightlifters, wrestlers, boxers, softball players, track athletes and others have a tremendous advantage against biological females.

To that end, transgender athletes taking testosterone also have an advantage and should not be allowed to compete while on the hormones.

And lawmakers in Tennessee have finally decided to address the issue and introduce legislation to ensure biological girls have a fair chance.

“We are seeing more and more transgender athletes competing and posting victories in traditionally gendered sports competitions, and doing so to the detriment of girls and women biologically born female.

“Boys and men, due to testosterone levels, bigger bone structure, greater lung capacity, and larger heart size, have physical advantages in sports relative to girls and women,” State Rep. Bruce Griffey, who introduced the bill, said to The Tennessee Star,

The bill states that any school who does not have students compete against those who are the same biological sex would “immediately ineligible to continue to receive public funds of any type from this state or a local government...”

He said it is it is “fundamentally unfair” who biological females to compete against biological males when they are working towards college scholarships in their sport...

Fight on ladies; you have a lot of support! It is so totally unfair! It’s time to come back to reality—males were created with more strength and stamina!

Eventually, one of these dudes will be playing field hockey or wrestling or something and end up crushing some poor girl and causing serious injuries. Then the parents will sue the pants off the NCAA. That’s what it will take before people realize this is absurd and unfair to female athletes. Maybe they should start letting dudes play in and dominate the WNBA or pro women’s tennis and watch how fast people change their tune.

A DNA test would be final. It should be registered to the student and stay with their records.

Hopefully this will spread beyond TN.

You got a Y chromosome or you got an extra X. One or the other

Can’t wait to see who votes against this one.

“...or pro women’s tennis “

I’m not totally convinced this isn’t already happening.

Man, about time. And every “new record” needs to be scrubbed.

Equality and fairness?
You must pretend that men can be women and vise versa..and if you don’t go along you will be sued into the poor house.

One might think that people would use common sense.

A bunch of POLs taking it up is ridiculous.

The parents etal of those victimized should have put a stop to it.

The ‘womens groups’ should have nipped it in the bud long ago BUT then they would be going against there self serving ‘message’ that women were just as athletic etc as men.

An excellent point was brought up in the School Board races in Virginia....(probably elsewhere also)

Why do so many school boards have members on them that have no children in the ‘game’?

Get a few activists on the School Board and no telling what the kids will be ‘allowed’ to do especially when the parents ‘don’t care’ (I am guilty of that also, I had 2 Daughters and NEVER once thought I or my wife should serve on the school board)

Today’s lesson

XX, XXX, XO..... Female
XY, XXY, XYY.... Male
Smattering of minor variants
Androgen insensitivity syndrome
Various Hermaphrodites

All the other stuff is cognitive constructs
Or Med/Surg monsters

I’ve thought for a long time that they should rename “Womens [Sport]” (fill in the [] with whatever sport) to:

XX Tennis
XX Swimming
XX Track

etc

Just call it XX and if you are not XX then you don’t compete in XX.

...lawmakers in Tennessee

Yay Tennessee!

Don’t move to E. Tenn. You’ll hate it here

No diversity, mostly monochromatic
Lots of trees, mountains, hills, lakes and streams. No room for stores.
It’s really easy to buy a gun.
Prices for housing are too low.
Food is cheap.
Most of the people are patriotic. What’s worse, they’re honest.
There’s no income tax, so I don’t think the state will improve much.
Those TVA lakes are just miserable
Dolly Parton music is high art
The Smokies are just crawling with damn Yankees and tourists from Floriduh
Towns like Oak Ridge are just intellectual wastelands
The color Orange is everywhere

Save yourself, stay away
I live here, and I’m an asshole.

And every “new record” needs to be scrubbed.

Or at least given an asterisk.

It was always about DNA as far as the Olympics were concerned. As it should be everywhere.

Competitions should depend on chromosomal gender period. Clearly, nothing else is fair. Blind people can’t compete in car racing, kids with Down syndrome can’t compete in chess. Life ain’t perfectly fair.

Thank you, Judge! I was wondering how to post the same idea, but you have it covered.

DON’T MOVE TO E. TENN!

I do struggle with the “color orange”, though.

Thank God somebody finally showed some common sense. This thing of biological males calling themselves girls and thus being permitted to obliterate biological females on the field is insane and it’s destroying women’s sports. But (the few) women who stand up to it are ripped apart by the press and the left.

Absolutely. Re references, though, I guess they’ve pretty much already been vetted if they’ve been here on FR for any length of time.
