In his last year in office, Barack Obama unilaterally reinterpreted Title IX in order to bully public schools into letting biological males play on girls' sports teams and use their bathroom and changing facilities or risk losing federal funding. As a result, the issue of biological males who “identify” as female playing on girls sports teams has become an increasing problem, even though Trump officially reversed this guidance in October 2018 .
We’ve reported on a number of stories here at PJ Media of biological males who are breaking records by playing on girls' or women’s teams. In April, a transgender “woman” broke world records in women's squat, women's bench press, and women's deadlift. (Note: Those records were ultimately revoked on a technicality because the weightlifter had not transitioned yet). n February, two Connecticut boys playing on girls' track teams broke state records , while actual girls found themselves unable to qualify for regional competitions, limiting their opportunities to be scouted by college coaches.
Unfortunately, many victims of the politically correct transgender rights movement feel they can’t speak out due to fear of being labeled a bigot. But, according to a new poll, they are part of a silent majority that opposes allowing transgender athletes to play on teams that don’t correspond to their biological sex.
In a poll released Tuesday , Rasmussen reveals that “just 28% of American Adults favor allowing transgender students to participate on the sports team of the gender they identify with, letting biological males, for example, play girls’ sports.” Roughly the same number, 31 percent, favor allowing transgender students to use bathrooms of the opposite biological sex.
This is a policy that Republicans are in the mainstream, while Democrats are not. “Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans and 52% of those not affiliated with either major political party oppose allowing transgender students on the teams of the gender they identify with,” according to Rasmussen. “Democrats support such a policy by a 43% to 36% margin, with 21% undecided. There’s a similar partisan breakdown when it comes to bathroom policy.”
What this poll tells us is how Republicans should frame the so-called “Equality Act,” which recently passed the House of Representatives , when it gets debated in the Senate. Every single Democrat supported the bill, and 2020 Democrats were falling all over each other to declare their support for it , including the “centrist” Joe Biden . The misnamed “Equality Act” would codify the rights of biological men to use bathrooms and changing rooms with girls, and play on their sports teams.
The American people are clearly not cool with having boys playing on girls' teams, or changing in front of little girls. Yet, Democrats endorse this madness wholeheartedly. We are always one election away from this insanity becoming the law of the land. The so-called Equality Act may not pass the Senate in 2019, but if Trump doesn’t win reelection in 2020, and Democrats gain control of the Senate, our wives, sisters, and daughters, will all be potential victims of radical policies like the “Equality Act” — be it by the invasion of privacy and safety in bathrooms, or in the realm of competitive sports, where biological males can easily power over their female counterparts.
And thus with that lie being blown right out of the water, some feminists (mostly lesbians at this point) are starting to retreat from that position, believe it or not. Some have.
Secondly, the trans people, at odds more and more with some lesbians, are still plodding forward ignoring the reality that a male thinking he is a female does not make it so.
That won't work either. The Boy Scouts are a great example.
They need there own everything.
Make trannies run against other trannies. That’s totally fair.
There have been a few, and though they are seldom successful they are often praised for being "gutsy".
OK, I identify as a rich guy. Where's my money?
The Boy Scouts destroyed themselves. Right-minded people have been abandoning that organization in droves and creating their own alternative groups. That’s what I’m saying female athletes should be doing.
Can you do anything with this ? Change the top line to read SUPPORT instead of celebrate and the lower line below perversity VOTE DEMOCRAT
Well, this is what the libs wanted, now they got what they wished for.
Too BAD!
Those chickens get a little large when they come home to roost!
I have no, none, zero, nada, zippo sympathy for any of these “sports organizations”.
Too bad, you get what the courts say you get.
Don't be silly every action TV show has 100 lb women regularly beat up a couple 200+ pound men.
It's in the bank you just have to figure out how to get it.
I support them. What goes around comes around feminazis!
60/40 is an easy landslide ratio — typically the women’s vote in favor of the Democrat agenda.
Your point is supported by a demographic subset, but as a whole, we’re here because of the women’s vote — unfortunately.
That scenario occurred to me, the first time I heard of this. I used to think it was unlikely. Then, I learned how much people are willing to pay, to get into college; to say nothing of the scholarship $. Could happen.
Transgender Athletes = Cheaters
What next they get to box with little girls if they can’t handle the real arena.
Same thing with bathrooms.
Indeed freaks who can’t get a date.
