Republicans across the country have made protecting girls' sports from biological male transgender athletes a campaign message as they seek to retake control of Congress next month, with at least one gubernatorial candidate highlighting the issue in recent campaign ad.
The issue of biological males who identify as females competing against women in women's sports has garnered national attention and resulted in a feud among the two political parties in America, and one group believes the issue may help turnout for Republicans in the November 8 election.
"Americans understand that female athletes have had their scholarships, their trophies and their dignity stolen by males competing in their sport and will make their voices heard at the ballot box," Penny Nance, CEO and president of Concerned Women for America, which is launching a bus tour to highlight the issue in five battleground states.
Republicans and Democrats are at odds with how the issue should be addressed, with those on the left defending the practice as affirming to transgender individuals and those on the right insisting it's unfair to pit young women against men in female leagues......
In contrast, Sara Norman, a former senior adviser to the Kamala Harris presidential campaign, said the concern over biological males competing in female sports events is "entirely manufactured" and insisted that's why Democrats have not focused on the issue in campaign ads.
"There are a tiny number of transgender high school students, and an even tinier number interested in playing sports," Norman said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Agree, by the Dems pushing gayness. There's 2 main incidents, Lia Thomas winning swimming and a transgender raping a HS girl that the school board failed to report.
On top of this there's the issue of males in female locker rooms and restrooms.
Hey, everybody knows that DemocRATS hate normal women. The voters just need to be reminded.
Reps should point out that feds recognize a physical difference for those born with male genes and require them to register for the draft now.
I remember when hormonal imbalances were a medical condition they tried to reverse so a body and brain could be comfortable with each other - these days they purposely cause the imbalances and then urge teens to cut off parts that can’t be replaced...
What’s a “biological” male?
A carbon-based life form?
Yes that is what they do.
More women vote Democrat than men.
“Women are equal”…see mirror for why we’re here.
Chicks already ruined the military and workplace.
Now I’m supposed to give a damn about this?
When women remove their heads from their rear ends and vote Republican this ends.
Same with all this tranny crap.
Aside - It’s smart for Republicans to push this.
Government enabling mental diseases that endanger individuals (especially children) and society at large is an issue that must be addressed.
Unfortunately it seems that “society at large” doesn’t give a damn.
Typical Republican nonsense.
He who says “A” says “B”. There are two and only two internally consistent positions on this issue.
First. Men are men and women are women. Full stop.
Second. There are circumstances whereby our political party will recognize that belief by a man that he is a woman, and vice-versa, is not a delusion, that in some sense this is “true” in this particular individual.
The GOP has adopted position two. As such, it is constantly subjected to attack for being inconsistent - “Caitlin” Jenner can run for Governor, but “Lia” Thomas can’t win titles.
Position two requires constant use of the idiotic “biological men”, as if there were any other kind.
The GOP is undergoing slow-motion collapse, like a lot of other institutions. This “men in women’s sports” issue is asinine once you accept, as the GOP has done, the underlying major premise.
Correct.
SO what is the GOP position on individual men and women who believe they are something other than what they are?
Interesting how liberal democrat women have, perhaps inadvertently, Proven that when the “sexes” are artificially made equal, males are always better than females at almost everything. And now arguably better at being females. “The adverse effects of cause can usually be extrapolated by deep study and reflection on Which effects affect which effects and effectively effecting the properly thought out effects that will affect those effects BEFORE the adverse affects effectively become irreversible effects that affect the potentially affected through that effected cause” L.Star
Most Republicans position on that is to run away.
It should absolutely be that no one under 18 y/o is allowed to take hormones of the wrong sex and no transitioning.
Parents have no right to abuse their children, and cutting off your kids penis is insane abuse.
Quite an effective post. It had an affect on my mood..
The redefinition and/or the destruction of family is an important goal to leftists. Families stand in the way of other goals. Families create a bond stronger than any other. Because of that bond, family members help one another. It is based on love. Families educate their young, care for their sick and old, pass wisdom from one generation to the next, help each other financially, provide comfort for mental anguish and dozens of other things. Quite simply, without families people need to turn to the state when in need. Destroy the family and a reliance is created for the state.
Transgenderism isn’t about psychological dysfunction. Adults are fostering children’s so-called confusion. That leads to hormone therapy and genital mutilation. That leads to the inability to have a family. Look at the culprits. They are the same people that have been pushing socialism/communism for decades. It’s now institutionalized. Schools no longer educate, they indoctrinate. Teachers don’t receive an education at universities. They receive a leftist indoctrination. It has creeped into government at every level. It is in medicine. Just look at the University of Minnesota medical school oath that was in the news last week. It is in big business through HR departments and Diversity, Inclusion, Equity (DIE) organizations.
Boys in girls sports is just a symptom of a greater problem. People have forsaken wisdom; wisdom that has existed and worked for millennia. You can get that wisdom from the Holy Bible. The teachings and wisdom of the Bible go back longer than the written word. Those teachings, the wisdom, has existed throughout time because because it works.
It is truth.
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do are abomination unto LORD thy God. - Deuteronomy 22:5
Not withstanding it is fundamentally wrong.
I’m glad they mentioned it.
If someone imagines themselves to be blind, what should happen to a surgeon who puts their eyes out?
If someone imagines themselves as paraplegic, what should happen to a surgeon who transects their spinal cord?
This use of "children" or "under 18" implies that this phenomenon is real, that it's not a delusion, and that the only issue is that "children" are unable to consent.
This is fundamentally wrong, and the GOP embracing delusions (of adults) is bad for it, even in the short run.
I’m personally against it for anyone.
I would think doctors would refuse to do it due to “Primum non nocere”, but that obviously doesn’t matter anymore.
I don’t know what legally could be done to adults who want to transition. Adults that transition are really far down on things I care about.(So long as they are not allowed in any school) The DSM should specify it’s a mental illness.
How about the Republicans making an election issue of protecting young girls from the Sexual-Pervert-in-Chief?
“Position two requires constant use of the idiotic “biological men”, as if there were any other kind.”
Unfortunately the left has controlled the linguistic narrative for many years. Want to solve this? Play the left’s game and call out “biological” on everything from birth certificates to drivers licenses to job applications and public restrooms.
Force the term, “biological male or female” everywhere it is required. Frankly, I don’t care if you gender identify as a female golden retriever named pickles (my gender) or a wheel of cheese.
