Top House Democrat says males competing against females is an 'issue that doesn't really exist'
Fox News ^ | April 20, 2023 | Thomas Catenacci

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., downplayed widespread concerns Thursday about biological males competing against biological females in spots competitions.

Jeffries' comments came shortly after the House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in a 219-203 party-line vote. The legislation, introduced in February by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., would require biological females to only compete against other biological females in women's sports that receive federal funding under Title IX, a 1972 civil rights statute prohibiting sex-based discrimination in education.

"MAGA Republicans are trying to sensationalize an issue that doesn't really exist in the way that they are falsely portraying," Jeffries told reporters following the vote.

And several House Democrats expressed dismay at the prospect of participating in the vote, with some saying the legislation was an example of bullying transgender Americans.

57% voted for Biden in 2020. I doubt many will see a correlation.

Females, say bye to Title IX. Killed by mentally ill Democrats.

This bill fuels a virulent hate campaign against kids who just want to play with their friends.”

Nope, want to beat XX females, because they can't beat XY males in ANY sports.

Rep Jayapal, are you and AOC having a race to see who is the stupidest in Congress?

House Republicans are choosing to bully and belittle trans children,” Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., added. “This is about attacking a small group of children, and it is shameful.”

What's shameful is you and you morons in Congress, Mr Garcia. You are attacking XX females with your hatred towards FEMALES!

It time for the ACLU to get involved.

They are! They are doing an ad in Florida asking to join them to fight Ron DeSantis, the transgender sports issue, voting rights, racial equality and homosexuality. ACLU is another group of Commies, that's why I say they are the Anti American Communist Loving Union ..

Democrats are fighting fiercely for trans, because they know this is the last step needed to legalize pedophilia.

males competing against females is an 'issue that doesn't really exist'

Jeffries remind me of Lewis Carroll's Humpty Dumpty. Arrogant and ignorant at the same time.

‘I meant by “impenetrability” that we’ve had enough of that subject, and it would be just as well if you’d mention what you mean to do next, as I suppose you don’t mean to stop here all the rest of your life.’
‘That’s a great deal to make one word mean,’ Alice said in a thoughtful tone.
‘When I make a word do a lot of work like that,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘I always pay it extra.’
‘Oh!’ said Alice. She was too much puzzled to make any other remark.

You are correct.

It’s pretty pathetic that a guy would be so obsessed with winning that he’d be willing to cheat and compete against women just so he could be the “winner.”

He’s no winner. That he’d be willing to compete knowing he has a decidedly unfair advantage over the other competitors just so he can “win” actually makes him the biggest loser on the planet.

Whether they realize it or not, it really sends the message that they know that they are such losers they can never compete on a fair playing field with other men.

If the senate rejects it, or SloJoe vetoes it, the next obvious move is a bill to eliminate Title IX. Use the dumbocrats’ own words to argue the case.

Every once in a while an issue comes along that every American can understand (and get angry about). Remember the Congress check-writing scandal? Americans were outraged, and they let Congress know at the next election. This “boys in girls sports” issue is another one that has Americans angry.
