When two transgender Utah girls and their parents sued to stop a law passed three years ago that would ban them from participating in sports with other girls,

Uh Salt Lake Tribune, there is no such thing as transgender girls, they are boys.

Exactly, they’re just boys pretending to be girls.

their case to run and swim with classmates who are their same gender has fallen apart.

There is no such thing as gender separate from sex. Their case was to allow them to compete against those of the opposite sex.

What’s next? Nothing short of the complete and utter destruction of the kingdom of lies you and those like you have built, of course. If it hasn’t become clear yet, the world is rejecting your insanity. They are refusing to be a part of your delusions any longer.

"their case to run and swim with classmates who are their same gender has fallen apart..."

...In favor of the right of tens of thousands of girls to run and swim with classmates of the same biological sex.

That's what the leftist apologists don't seem to understand. Granting that "right" to transgenders to inherently deprives others of their rights.

One of their fallback arguments is "there are so few transgenders that why do you even care?", which of course is just as easily flipped around on them. And then the other response is that of biological girls having to compete against biological boys is just a minor issue that they should just have to "deal with", why can't the same logic be applied to having those "transgender girls" (biological boys) just "deal with" being on a boys' team?

Unbelievable that this puke of an article is from a Utah paper. I thought Mormons were conservatives.

“When two transgender Utah girls…”

When two homosexual biological males pretending to be girls…

Girl = female
Transgender girl = male

Sports are not about gender. They are about biological sex. They are separated, LITERALLY, because of biological differences.

You’d be correct if it was the Deseret News, but it’s not. It’ s the Salt Lake Tribune, a liberal rag like unto the LA Times, the NY Times, the WSJ and numerous others.

“That’s what the leftist apologists don’t seem to understand. Granting that “right” to transgenders to inherently deprives others of their rights.”

There’s a hierarchy of rights. For example, trans rights trump lesbian rights. Black people’s rights trump poor whites. It’s all about where you stand on the discrimination hierarchy.

I went looking for an article I’d read about why Ellen DE generous no longer identified as a lesbian. It’s as if it has been scrubbed from the Internet. The reason was because trans had trumped lesbianism. A trans must be accepted as a woman and if a trans approached a lesbian for sex, then she was supposed to accept. (Aside from the fact that many people regardless of predilection often turn down requests for sex. That’s not supposed to happen with “trans” women because they’re special.) The very fact that there were lesbians cancelled out the fact that there were men who were claiming to be women. The two were not compatible in the LGB world so the old hat plain Jane lesbian had to go. There used to be a lot of articles on the subject. Can’t find a one now.

Of interesting note: “sex” occurs 18/19 times but “gender” occurs not at all! in the text of Title IX.

So now they’re a junior and a senior. I’d love to know what they look like, after a few years of taking female hormones, or did they even do that?
