This idiocy will continue until enough women refuse to compete against men. Good for this woman for standing up for herself and all the women.

The US is becoming more and more Anti-Women, and the Left is driving it.

Exactly.

The broader agenda is to softly chip away at our culture and social norms. It starts even before kindergarten but that is when they generally are first able to influence the minds of future voters.

Today it is fairly obvious to those who wish to look that it has spread throughout the education system to the arts, the MSM, sports, the churches, the military, you name it, anything that is today "woke".

Sadly, we seem as a nation unable to marshal the political forces necessary to even identify the threat and give it a name.

I get the entire gender denial destruction of women’s sports, but I need to back up even further and question the entire notion of ladies participating in certain sports.

I know, there should be no female powerlifting according to you, but we all know she's a butch dyke, at least ackhowledges she was born with a vagina, and is willing to speak out about guys with penis's competeting against her.

This woman sounds smart enough to start a birth woman weight lifting league. I believe it would break the sperm ceiling of the trans athletes.

Yep, I can’t take any of the women complaining about this seriously unless they are also saying that it’s time for our society to give up on feminism and reverse all feminist-inspired policies.

Until they are ready to do that, they can woman up and take their medicine.

I’m glad she’s speaking out about all the stupidity and arrogance. If this continues, there will, most likely be new organizations that spring up to replace the now corrupted PC ones.

Why can’t they disqualify for hormone/steroid abuse?

Remember when the real wrestler smashed him. That was funny too.

This!
Our school district thought it was such a win, when a JH girl was on the boys wrestling team. Mind you in rural farm country.
I thought it was an abomination, and that her parents/Admin needed their heads examined. But, you know, lawyers gonna lawyer, and Admin all but wet themselves fearful of a lawsuit.

At the very least, they should work off a handicap system. To win, the dude would have to lift X amount more than a real woman. You know, the kind born with a hot pocket.

That's it! That will quickly put this delusion-based mental illness back into the miasma of what is promoted as "enlightened thinking" it sprang from.

Sad. Maybe it is time to find a new career. Women’s sports will be destroyed.

You’ll end up with teams of guys claiming to be women competing with each other.

Who wants to watch a bunch of half rate loser men play each other in sports.

You can call me male chauvinist pig if you wish,

M

Nah, you're just a bigot who is afraid of women who might be more athletic than yourself.

Title IX afforded high schools girls the opportunity to play sports and and have access to college scholarships that were once only available to males........

I have several friends whose daughters and grand daughters were fortunate enough to gain scholarships due to their softball and volleyball skills to colleges they would have struggled to be able to afford.

If she’s only facing suspension...

...clearly her remarks weren’t strong enough to the point.

Obviously, a stupid shit like you lacks reading comprehension skills. I am not against women’s sports, I’m against the type of women that would compete in things like power lifting, which taking to extremes requires them to give up their femininity. I am against most things that feminist espouse, much of which has zero to do with girls playing games for a brief period in their lives. By the way, I have two daughters that competed in swimming all the way through college, just like me.

I am right there with you. Who enjoys watching women fighting each other? I don’t get it.

Spoken like a typical keystone state asshole........

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were one of the rude, obnoxious, ignorant jerkoffs that worked at our manufacturing plant in Philadelphia that I had to deal with on a daily basis.
