he Sport & Rights Alliance on Thursday called on the Women's Tennis Association to drop its sex-testing policy, calling it a ​discriminatory measure in the game. The women's tennis tour said last month it ‌would require players to clear a one-time gene test for the SRY gene, which helps in determining biological sex and can be conducted via cheek swab or blood ​test.

Last month the WTA said it would require players to take a one-time gene test for the SRY gene (which helps determine biological sex). This sounds like a great policy for the WNBA to adopt. I wonder why they won't try it?

“Calling it discriminatory”

Against who? So basically they’re admitting that trans women aren’t women because the test would prove they’re not so therefore they condemn the test as discrimination. Things they say outright in public (using leftist language and logic) prove that the whole tranny issue is a complete farce.

Maybe it will help the confused find out who they are.

[spincaster]

These people are retarded .

[kinsman redeemer]

I’m wondering, “Does the the ‘Sport & Rights Alliance’ have any athletic skill at all? Who CARES what they say?”

[Gen.Blather]

There’s a way to make the entire trans ideology vanish in a heartbeat. If Trump were to announce he was trans...

The controversy over a genetic test begs the question.......

Why not just look?

[Kudsman]

Lololol. And he is a lesbian for loving Melania!

[Hyman Roth]

I have an excellent testing method. Born with a penis - male.

Vagina - female. Real simple.

I have oftened wondered, if they can’t define what a woman is, then how can they define what a man is? I mean, it is all make believe and straight out of Orwell’s novel 1984 — Big Brother wants you to proclaim 2 plus 2 equals 3, and believe it in your heart.

Same folks think it’s” discriminatory” to have voter ID....

“This sounds like a great policy for the WNBA to adopt. I wonder why they won’t try it?”

Because if they did, they would have trouble finding people who could reach the rim when they did anything more than a layup.

“The controversy over a genetic test begs the question.......Why not just look?”

Or ask NSA for a copy of the person’s body scan when they passed through an airport.

‘Advocacy’ group? For who?

Renee Richards for the win!! 🎾🎾🎾🎾

[WhiteHatBobby0701]

The whole point is to endorse erotic liberty.

(gene test for the SRY gene (which helps determine biological sex))

At this point, I hope they do. I really hope a man plays women’s professional tennis. I hope he dominates the tournaments and rankings. I hope he destroys the best professional woman in the rankings. And I hope it is all televised for everyone to see. Time and time again for every tournament. That is the only way this nonsense is going to stop. The public will see how wrong it is and stop watching. Ad revenue will dry up and the WTA all the sudden will rethink its “principles.”
