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.

“...the legislation was an example of bullying transgender Americans.”
So if women object to being forced to share their locker room or shower with a pretend woman, it is the women who are the bullies, not the ones who are forcing them to share.
Women who object to losing sporting events to pretend women are bullies as are fathers who object to their daughters being raped at school by a pretend girl.
The House democrats showed that they are 100% in agreement with this idea.
The fact that there is NO WAY they’d ever be interested in doing that tells you everything you need to know about them—and its an area to explore that may be beyond even most commentators.
You misunderstood. I want the ACLU to make sure there are more transmale quarterbacks in the NFL.
 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, ' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.' |
