Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on Thursday decried an Arizona bill that would prevent biological males from competing in girls sports, calling the legislation “cruel.”
“Trans athletes are not a threat,” Warren wrote in a tweet. “We need to protect trans kids - and all LGBTQ+ kids - and ensure they feel safe and welcomed at school. I urge the Arizona legislature to reject this cruel bill.”
The “Save Women’s Sports Act” would assign high-school students to interscholastic and intramural leagues by their “biological sex” rather than the gender with which they identify, grouping biological females together and likewise for biological males.
The bill, introduced by state representative Nancy Barto, a Phoenix Republican, and co-sponsored by 22 other GOP state legislators, is intended to protect female athletes from competing against athletes who possess an unfair advantage over them, Barto claims.
“Female student-athletes should not be forced to compete in a sport against biological males, who possess inherent physiological advantages. When this is allowed, it discourages female participation in athletics and, worse, it can result in women and girls being denied crucial educational and financial opportunities,” Barto said.

Its pathetic
we are all equal anyway! just end womens sports and just do all co-ed sports !
Liberals
A young Caitlyn (nee Bruce) Jenner?
Totally insane. The line between reality and make-believe has been completely erased
Cruel for whom?
Certainly it’s cruel to women to NOT pass that bill.
What a champion for women’s rights dems are, eh?
She’s doubling-down after doubling-down on the trans-children thing.
She is utterly insane.
Warren is sexist!
Males pretending to be women are a threat to women’s sports.
There’s no way a woman can compete with a man. Its both a biological and a physical fact.
She had a great debate but just had to show everyone that she is as crazy as ever.
She should be required to wear a sign that says “I’m an Idiot”.
This woman is just a smart-a$$ bomb thrower, nothing more.
And there are people who actually want this nitwit to be President of the United States!
Trump needs to hammer the F out of this in AZ no matter who is the nominee! It can get female voters (soccer moms) to the polls.
I’ve always wanted to win a bunch of sports medals so I think I’ll identify as a woman and enter women wrestling competitions. Oh, and I’ll have Warren in my corner defending my right to win those medals.
I still say it is a major goal of the Commie Left to destroy the idea of competition. It goes against the grain of Commie principles. Biological men going head-to-head in competition with women kills the competitive spirit in women, which probably rolls down-hill to the sons of those women. . . EVIL!!!!!!!!
What about the poor girls who are defeated by a man? Do they feel "Safe and welcomed at school"? There are tens of thousands times more girls than men pretending to be girls. Why the HELL are we bending over for a handful of FREAKS?
How did our entire nation become so insane?
But Bruce Jenner—a man—competed admirably and well in men’s sports, and was an Olympic Champion!!!! He had no desire to compete in women’s sports!
That was all before he went insane—or was possessed by demons. (I don’t know which.)
Women need to be able to play sports without unfair competition from deluded men who think the they are women! PHOOEY!!!!
Its not cruel its ABNORMAL
