The White House said Tuesday that “there is no yes or no answer” when asked whether it is fair that transgender athletes take part in sports designated for biological females — an issue the Biden administration labeled as a “complicated” and one that contains a “wide range of views.”

The comments came after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked by Fox Business correspondent Hillary Vaughn whether President Biden agrees with GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley that biological boys participating in female sports is the “women’s issue of our time” and whether he believes the matter is a “women’s rights issue.”

The Department of Education proposed a rule, as you know, that gives schools the flexibility to establish their own athletics policies, and so while establishing guardrails, right, to prevent discrimination against transgender kids,” Jean-Pierre said. “That is something that is incredibly important, that the president wants to make sure that we also do that as well.

What happens when it’s only men playing women’s sports? And, why, if men and women are the same, are there so few women trying to play in men’s sports?

Satan is the only 'standard' of the left.

Chaos, destruction, and greed.

The fact that sheeple need/want the President and Fed.gov to expound like some kind of Ancient King or Dalai Lama on something as stupid if biological boys can play on girls soccer or swimming teams in East Moosepatch Distric Schools - shows to me the Republic is already dead.

Are you going to pay taxes?

“there is no yes or no answer”

Are you going to get the vaxx?

“there is no yes or no answer”

Are you going to buy an electric car/junkpile?

“there is no yes or no answer”

Are you going to kneel before the Great and Mighty Commander-Crap-In-Pants?

“there is no yes or no answer”

.

Cool! A game that the progs thought no one else would play.

“punt”? if they didn’t answer then we know they think men who pretend to be women should compete with real women.

The Dems don’t really have an absolute ideological commitment to the tranny thing, but they still need to ride it a little more for now.

To bad most of America will never hear about this. I truly believe that this is one issue a good 90% of Americans agree.
