‘Save women’s sports’ bill passes House with zero votes from Dems, who call it transgender ‘bullying
Fox News ^ | 04/20/2023 | Peter Kasperowicz | Fox News

The House on Thursday passed legislation aimed at preventing biological males from competing as transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports at schools across the country, after a debate in which several Democrats accused Republicans of "bullying" transgender students by calling up the bill.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed in a 219-203 vote Thursday morning – all the "yes" votes came from Republicans, and all the "no" votes came from Democrats.

Republicans defended the bill as an attempt to spare women and girls from having to compete against transgender women and girls – biological males who can sometimes dominate these sports and prevent some female athletes from making the team. But several Democrats argued in debate that the GOP bill is an extension of the bullying that transgender students are already facing at school.

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Lie forcefully knowing the media and the appropriate establishment will support you.

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: “Pick the target and polarize it" via Rules for Radicals.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Scream accusations of racism* (or racist* attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack by projecting your guilt onto your opposition.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: Gaslight by declaring that good decisions are creating a negative outcome or that your destructive actions are creating a positive outcome.

The Left’s Core Strategy #6: Attack opposition with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Think drive-by shooter.

The Left’s Core Strategy #7: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.

Would it be bullying to prevent a mediocre 15 year old player who identifies as nine year old into Little League baseball?

The Dems are guilty of TranzTerriorism support.

Get the Fey Wray on suppressing it.

The soil was not yet fertile for this monstrosity to be forced upon us.

We forced them to do it anyway, ahead of their evil plan.

Now they have nothing but to scurry like rats in the alley, biting our boots as we stomp them to death.

Spoken like true maggots. If there is any bullying going on it is coming from the turd rollers in the Dung Beetle Party who are using their U.S. Government to bully Americans.

Recently the Prime Minister of the UK was in the news for saying women didn’t have male genitalia.

When knowing that women don’t have male genitals puts you in the news you are living in crazytown.

Well, Son of a B..er Gun, I was wrong. I did not think the House leadership would allow this to be brought up for a vote. Plus, if they did, I really thought there would be enough defectors to shoot it down.
However I am not surprised there were zero, zip, nada crossovers from the Democrats. Party Loyalty, they do stick together, even when they know The Party is wrong.

Democrats’ capacity for projection is amazing. Will Thomas wins swimming titles pretending to be a woman, taunts his detractors, and defending the real women is what they call “bullying”?!

“Would it be bullying to prevent a mediocre 15 year old player who identifies as nine year old into Little League baseball?’

There are programs for that player called Babe Ruth and Pony League baseball along with school programs. You might be better suited if you questioned if it is bullying to not provide a program for 15 year old softball players that just want to play but only girls are allowed to play in little league softball and school related softball programs that have no outlet. That’s what is happening. They call this a gender equality bill yet it has nothing to do with women’s equality as it really displays the lack of programs available to men rather than women. So who’s being shorted when the women can play anywhere and the men/boys are being denied?

The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed with zero support from the DemocRats. And they resisted civil rights laws.

"How soccer mom’s and dads don’t see this is beyond me...."

Individually, soccer moms are terrified of being canceled.

Dust off those pink pussy hats soccer moms, rise and support women's sports!!
