GOP Senators Craft Bill to Prevent Biological Males from Competing in Female Sports
Breitbart ^ | September 28 2020 | PENNY STARR

Posted on 09/29/2020 11:30:39 AM PDT by knighthawk

Senators Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), Mike Lee (R-UT), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), James Lankford (R-OK), and Tom Cotton (R-AR) recently introduced a bill that will protect female athletes of all ages from being forced to complete against biological men.

The issue has galvanized an unlikely coalition of women, from feminists to pro-family, pro-life advocates, who have teamed up with female athletes fighting against the transgender movement that believes “gender identity” and not biological sex should be the standard for competition in sports.

The bill also is tied to Title IX, the federal statute that prevents discrimination against women in sports because of their biological sex.

Like the “repeal” of HusseinCare, which RINOs on this bill are betting on a victory by the pedophile next month?

This bill would probably go down in flames in the Federal courts thanks to that recent incoherent Supreme Court ruling in the infamous “transgender” case, but this is a good political move.

The counterargument that the transophiles are making is that performance comes down to testosterone levels. Many great female athletes have higher than avg testosterone levels so why prevent trans if they can keep their levels low.

If we went that route however we would have groups based on T levels just like the weight categories for boxing. How odd and uninspiring would that be?

About time. This isn’t being prejudice in any way....and it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings and if it does....well, it’s too damn bad. No matter how you cut it...it’s cheating.

A simple DNA test would quickly end this argument once and for all.

XX competes in female sports. XY competes in male sports. End of controversy.

Let it go. Who cares? Let the “woke” run ‘em into the ground. We need new sports affiliations, not old woke ones.

I’m OK with trannies competing in sports, but they should have their own division. Just like we have the Summer and Winter Olympics with sports and events segregated by sex, and we have the handicapped Olympics for the other-abled, we can have the Tranny Olympics, where biological males and females get to choose in which events they will compete. Or better still, make them all compete against each other: FTM, MTF, the whole mosh pit of confused attraction.

I’d prefer we NOT give these poor, sick deluded folks any publicity whatsoever.

To my knowledge, the Olympics does not have any competitions where differing biological identities compete against each other. Keep it that way. No freaks allowed.

How about all trannies.

How about legislation that says no more to all the trannies.

This is just because someone cant get a trophy.

Lets do it on an actual principle that All of this in mental illness, men and women, and we are not going to enable and encourage ANY OF IT REGARDLESS WHOS DOING IT.
