Warren Urges Arizona to Reject ‘Cruel’ Bill Banning Males from Competing in Female Sports
National Review ^ | February 20, 2020 | By MAIREAD MCARDLE

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.

if they continue to allow males to play female sports, I want to see the day where 22 men can play HS football, etc..

I mean if they "feel" like their 17 why shouldn't they....

all of this insanity has one purpose.....to destroy our Christian culture, to destroy the family, to destroy and depress the hard working and value based populace that still exists in this country...

".... What kind of guy actually wants to dress like a woman and compete against them in sports[?]...."

The kind of pussy that can't beat any of the guys of his own gender in sports, so "he" decides to claim to be a "she" so "he" can beat weaker opponents.

It's the same motivation that the Fake Indian Princess, Elizabeth Warren, used to get an advantage in college recruiting and employment by claiming she was an American Indian and therefore "owed" special dispensation and compensation.

If you can win on the merits, cheat. That's what liberals and democRATS do.

It's neither more pathetic nor indeed is it functionally different than women who wanted to play men's sports, or go to men's clubs, or go to men's schools.... People who are upset about this today but haven't been equally opposed to the closing off of activities and social places for men all these decades. Do you know why that is. Because the two are really one and the same.

Wrong! Comparing going to men's clubs or schools with contact sports is absurd. The former has to with social and or intellectual aspects in which a female may be able be part of and or compete, while the latter has to do with physicality in which the average male athlete in the same weight class and sport has a clear advantage

On average, in adult males, levels of testosterone are about 7 to 8 times as great as in adult females. As the metabolism of testosterone in males is more pronounced, the daily production is about 20 times greater in men. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone

In females, the growth process is characterized by increased mass and strength of bone relative to that of muscle, whereas in men, increases in testosterone fuel large increases in muscle, resulting in muscle forces that coincide with a large growth in bone dimensions and strength. - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3189615/

It is well known that men's athletic performance exceeds that of women especially in power sports because of men's greater strength, speed and endurance. This biological physical advantage of mature males forms the basis for gender segregation in many competitive sports to allow females a realistic chance of winning events. This physical advantage in performance arises during early adolescence when male puberty commences after which men acquire larger muscle mass and greater strength, larger and stronger bones, higher circulating haemoglobin as well as mental and/or psychological differences. After completion of male puberty, circulating testosterone levels in men are consistently 10‐15 times higher than in children or women at any age.

It is concluded that the gender divergence in athletic performance begins at the age of 12‐13 years and reaches adult plateau in the late teenage years. Although the magnitude of the divergence varies between athletic skills, the timing and tempo are closely parallel with each other and with the rise in circulating testosterone in boys during puberty to reach adult male levels. - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/cen.13350

Well, I have wondered about “Elizabeth” Warren. Her not understanding physiology at its most basic level where 95% of the population understand it is pathetic.

There is a huge difference between men and women at many levels and except for woman trying to prove they are men in women’s clothing most people acknowledge the differences.

You know, considering how few LGBT people there are in our population, they have much too much power...Obama is an example. I think I read that, at the most, 5% of our population who are lesbian or gay men. Perhaps there is a lot of lying going on, too? Ssort of like Bloomsberg being a member of J Epsteins horrible group of thousands of pedophilic men. I wonder if that is why Epstein’s death is about to go blank...no body knows anything yet many men and some number of women think pedophilia is natural. Perhaps it is if you are a lower animal like a dog, etc.

You know, considering how few LGBT people there are in our population, they have much too much power...Obama is an example. That is because even if not homosexual themselves, they also have a bought into the rebellions against God. Ever wonder why liberals are hard against conservative Christians but soft toward Islam, even though the latter actually kills homosexuals? It is because they have a common enemy, that of the God of the Bible, which our carnal nature is not subject to.

I think I read that, at the most, 5% of our population who are lesbian or gay men.

And sodomy is the mode of HIV transmission in over 80% of cases among men. More: https://peacebyjesuscom.blogspot.com/2019/10/negative-effects-of-homosexual.html God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.

Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47 Thanks be to God.

Why stop at trans-gender? Trans-species is the next illogical step. Horses in a foot race.
