A lawmaker in Washington on Thursday likened legislation aimed at banning transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports in the state to racial segregation in the United States, arguing that those across the aisle are "making a lot of the same arguments today."
Washington Democratic state Rep. Kristine Reeves spoke during an executive session of the House Education Committee on Thursday morning where members of the committee introduced SB 5123, a bill that aimed to expand protections for students, including gender expression and gender identity.
"I recall a time in our country’s history not that long ago … where people like my grandfather were told that they could not participate in sporting activities because he was Black man," Reeves spoke following a proposed amendment to the bill.
"I can recall a time in our country's history, Madam Chair, where people like my grandfather and my great-great grandfather were not allowed to participate in processes and places in our society because of the color of their skin because people for years – for generations – had told our society that Black people were less than human, that Black people were animals, that Black people did not have the brain capacity to compete with White Americans."
Reeves claimed that similar to the scientific studies provided that have argued an unfair physical advantage for trans athletes in women’s sports, people also "generated science to compel people to believe in the argument that my father, my grandfather, my grandmother, my great grandparents were less-than in our society."
"We are repeating history, Madam Speaker, in this debate and it is very, very scary to me that we are making a lot of the same arguments today...

Males in female sports injuring females during games I am sure Dr. Martin Luther King turns in his grave over the notion that opposing that is the equivalent of racism.
Being black is a function of skin pigmentation.
Being a tranny is a mental disorder.
There's a difference.
When people had the good sense to know the difference between XX and XY. Now we are forced to live with idiots.

No, no, no, hell no.
The left has always stated that you can Not declare your race. Race is not fluid, or what you “feel”
In order to follow this logic, race is now fluid, can be changed to meet your feelings.
Wacko Alert.
Born in 1913 roughly the same time period
of the lying twit's grandfather, Jesse Owens
might beg to differ.
Communist don’t do the trans thing. They are actually somewhat prudish when it comes to morals.
The trans stuff is insanity and is the main reason the Sh*tocrats are sitting at 27% in polls.
So let’s look at it this way. Since blacks are only 13% of the US population then if we limit black football and basket ball pro player rosters to 13% wouldn’t that be fair. Hell no. Their rosters are based on talent not color. But then there a lot of people pushing organizations to hire employees not base on ability but on race, gender and sexual preferences. Where is the fairness in that?
It’s the same BS argument the left is using against the military.
The bigger issue here is that biological males are naturally stronger than biological females.
This is like saying it’s dehumanizing if you don’t let a heavyweight compete against a featherweight. The heavyweight can wear a bikini and say he’ 100 lbs lighter than he is, but it’s still reckless endangerment to let him fight somebody 100 lbs lighter than he is.
I know Washington Democratic state Rep. Kristine Reeves. She is a member of the George Soros political action group, “Indivisible.” The transgender perversion effort is the result of Soros’ money behind the transgender movement.

And who would be served if the NFL required 50% of their players to be female, based on quotas?
These people who are saying that it is fake science that says males are stronger than females should put their money where their mouth is and introduce a bill requiring 50% of NFL players to be biological females.
NFL TEAMS to be 50% female, that is.
This old rag really isn’t in Washington. She’s in Washington state.
She’s an effing nutter.
In the 60’s and 70’s, the RAT Party was all for pushing feminism, and women’s rights. In the 2020’s they forgot about women’s rights, went Woke and decided to push for men’s rights as it pertains to giving birth, nursing babies, menstruation, access to tampons and sanitary pads, and physically abusing female athletes in women’s sports.
I’m curious if gender transitioning supposedly puts biological males on equal footing with female athletes why do we not see transitioning females compete in mens sports?
A mental/ spiritual illness is not comparable to melanin content. What an outage!
