Megan Rapinoe, Billie Jean King & 174 female athletes sign brief supporting trans women in sports
LGBTQ Nation ^ | December 22, 2020 | Alex Bollinger

Megan Rapinoe, Billie Jean King, and 174 other female athletes signed an amicus brief in support of transgender girls and women playing sports as their gender identity.

“As women and LGBTQ+ athletes,” says their brief, they “submit that all youth deserve an equal opportunity to participate in sports alongside their peers. Such equal opportunity benefits the entire sports community.”

The brief was filed in Hecox v. Little, a lawsuit brought against the state of Idaho, which passed a law this year banning transgender girls and women from competing in school sports as girls and women.

The law also allows for a female student-athlete’s gender to be “challenged” and requires the athlete to undergo medical exams to “prove” it. A doctor, the law says, will have to examine the athlete’s genitalia, hormones, and DNA and make a determination of their gender, something that Democrats pointed out is not recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Boise State University athlete Lindsay Hecox, who is transgender, and the ACLU filed a federal lawsuit against Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) to overturn the law.

At least Martina Navratilova has stated she is against it. What sane person would want men competing in women's sports?

It is especially harmful to school age girls who work so hard to excel at their sport only to be shoved aside by some hulking queer man. I can't imagine how devastating that is psychologically for the real girls.

If you allow trans to participate in women’s professional sports, that will be the end of women’s sports. No one is going to want to pay to watch trans men competing against women. They will lose fans, and as a results pro female athletes will not be paid very much, and it will collapse.
Rapinoe is working against her own self interests, which is rather interesting because she has been complaining about salary disparities between mens and women’s soccer for awhile now.

Do they want to have sex with “transwomen,” too? Because that’s the demand.

So women burned their bras in the 70s in order to have chicks with d***s use their bathrooms and dominate their sports. Why yes, you have come a long way, baby!

It’s all part of the Brave New World the global elite wish to impose on their moral and intellectual inferiors.

No individuality is allowed.

We are all EXACTLY the same.

We are all EXACTLY equal.

Except for them because they are special.

Liberalism & much of modern day culture is an exercise in avoiding reality & pretending the consequences of avoiding that reality don’t occur. When those consequences do occur the blame is shifted to someone or something else.

IIRC one of the Williams sisters said they would stand a chance against the men in tennis.

There’s a reason the Olympics banned transgenders from playing. Or at least they did....not sure any longer.

Wait, “...174 female....” How do we know..... Never mind, I don’t want to know. I’m thinki’ that if there is a massive fire someplace and bodies are recovered that are beyond being ID’d, the lab is gonna tell you male of female. NOT is a male/female but, by the dna we know they WANTED to be male/female.

As a woke sports fan, here are two things I’m waiting for:

1. A mediocre male golfer to join the Ladies Professional Golf Association, and then win tournament after tournament.
2. A mediocre male boxer to join the Women’s International Boxing Association, and then win match after match.

Hecox? I think I would change my name to Shetwat if I decide to join the transgenders. My first name would also be changed, to Lucy.

“Megan Rapinoe, Billie Jean King, and 174 other female athletes” who have already reached the end of their playing careers signed a brief to deny future girls and women the opportunity to compete on a fair basis.

Can almost be done at birth. Maybe even put it on a certificate.

Billie Jean King, 77 y/o, and still dedicated to blurring if not eliminating the lines separate one sex from the other.
It is important to Billie and Megan that there is no perceived difference at all. Who knows why? They wish for a One Sexuality Fits All kind of world.

Not me. I say Viva la difference!

“transgender girls and women” = XY chromosomes

Upside down world.

Who knew Billie Jean King was still alive?
