Damn well right it is politicized when you want genetically advantaged boys to compete against girls. Apparently Title IX doesn't matter anymore (though I'd love to see how that plays before the current SCOTUS.

Frankly I'm shocked that 3 out of 10 support trans athletes competing in the wrong cateogry. They must not have children, or just brainwashed woke

Just create an “It” category for anyone that doesn’t want to compete in their birth sex—male or female.

It doesn’t matter what the people want, it’s going to get shoved down our throats until female athletes just start organizing walk outs every time a trannie tries to take the field.

The headline should state: Most Americans oppose males in females sports.

Having teen daughters in sports, they and their peers really just want female sports to be for bio-females. They want the very best fair competition with their female peers. Nothing else.

You would think that’s really simple and obvious, right?

Just have trans sports. And how do the women changing to a man feel about competing in male sports against biological men. They likely aren’t breaking to many records. Wasn’t there a mma that was changing or identifying as a male try that. I don’t think it worked out well for him.

I figured out the solution. Make trannies wear Victorian dresses during competitions with biological women, whether it is basketball, swimming, soccer, weightlifting, track, etc. Maybe the trannies are strong or coordinated enough to still win but it won’t be easy, especially the high hurdles.

At which point the comparisons to segregation will commence.

These things are not that simple when the liberals decide to shove something down our throats.

And they will attempt to shove it down our throats. There will be lawsuits on these issues. And some liberal judges may well say it’s a civil rights violation, to not permit males to compete in female sports. Stay tuned.

That's just it. These trannies aren't even in the also-ran category of their biological class. They're so far removed from being competitive that the only way they can win is to compete against women. No one wants to watch a drag race between a Yugo and a Lada. No one would actually tune in to watch the all-tranny competition, except fellow travelers.

Then womens sports are screwed. Mens not so much. There was already the dude that identified as a women and went to a powerlifting event smashed every record. Standing on the podium with about 7 medals with a 5 o’clock shadow. Mary Gregory. 9 for 9. Now they did finally strip mary of the records because they said they went by biological. Mary was very upset. This is what the sports federations are going to have to do for womens sports. They will need a copy of original birth certificate.

It seems that few Americans remember when the Soviets and East Germans dosed some of their female athletes with testosterone... and the entire athletic world condemned the practice.

Hmm, now that I think about it, perhaps this perversion is a by-product of Communism.

allowing transgender female athletes to compete against other women

This is begging the question. The issue is that transgender athletes aren't "other women" at all but men. Here the WaPo shows its colors - the issue isn't the issue, the issue is the revolution, and it's chapping them that they haven't been able to bully their way through it.

58% to 30% is overwhelming support to ban biological males from competing in.women’s sports. Why the Hell do we allow this minority to dictate our policies. The voters need to get rid of these representatives who ignore the will of their constituents. We get the government we deserve.

Easier solution - take the money out of amateur sports. And make it illegal for local governments to fund professional sports arenas.
