NCAA President Charlie Baker sent a message to women's college athletes who are uncomfortable sharing locker rooms with transgender athletes on Tuesday, putting the responsibility for their own safety squarely on the women themselves.
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over legalized sports gambling, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., questioned Baker about the NCAA's policies that have allowed trans athletes to compete on women's teams. Hawley confronted Baker about the NCAA policy that states "transgender student athletes should be able to use the locker room, shower and toilet facilities in accordance with their gender identity."
Baker, the former Republican governor of Massachusetts, responded by insisting other athletes have the option to find other accommodations if they're uncomfortable with it.
"Everybody else should have an opportunity to use other facilities if they wish to do so," Baker said.

Baker added that NCAA guidelines give the institutions and organizations that host college sporting events, who he referred to as "locals," the option to accommodate athletes however they see fit.
"I believe our guidelines give people optionality in how they choose to use their facilities," Baker said. "We told the local folks who hosted our tournaments that they need to make accommodations for the people who are playing."
Baker also refused to initially agree with the notion that biological males have physical advantages over female athletes. When asked by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., if trans athletes are at an advantage, Baker said the idea was debatable.
"There's not a lot of research on it, but it's certainly debatable," Baker said.
Kennedy posed the question a second time, asking if Baker didn't think that "a biological male has an advantage every time competing against a biological female."

Liberals use civilized society to push their agenda and they never take no as the final answer.
He likes the moolah...
[NCAA President Charlie Baker]
Whatta maroon....
No.
I wonder what the reaction would be if a woman athlete were to shoot Mr. Baker in the back while he was walking on a Manhattan street.
No, Mr. Moderator, I am not at all suggesting that this should happen. I just wonder what the reaction would be.
So is he suggesting the girls will have to rent porta potties so they can have privacy away from those who still have equipment they shouldn’t have
Can you imagine if Tim Walz suggested that the onus for having tampons on hand was on the opposing girls sports teams?
That’s because they’re spoiled brats, the lefties.
Charlie is a pervert.
I say the onus is on female athletes to form and use another Association to play under if they feel uncomfortable working with a filthy perverted leftist tranny lover like Charlie Baker.
The other type of toilet is an outhouse. Could happen.
Barbra Streisand to the boxing coach at the training camp in the woods in The Main Event (1979):
“I’ve been looking all around in this building. Can you tell me where the rest room is?”
“Outside.”
“Where outside?”
“Allllll over.”
“Oh.”
The idea normal people have to accommodate these mentally ill freaks in their disturbed delusions is an outrage. There are two sexes. There is no such thing as a transgender human. They are just mentally ill trying to alter reality.
Dude might as well be punching himself in the face. I think the ladies are fed up with all of this.
