Woman's sports is not a compensation program for failed male athletes.

[joeweeks]

I cant believe we live in a time where we have to talk about this stupidity

[elivillagran]

God bless this woman for standing up for real women in sports.

[ofermashiach]

Why is that even a debate? The world has gone mad.

[michaelbeary]

I call total BS that he didn't know what was being portrayed in that video. They need to get rid of deceptive politicians who pretend not to understand the obvious.

[aj-savage]

Ever notice that no trans-male player EVER wants to compete against "other men?"

[Eighty]

You can really hear the pain and desperation in her voice 😢

[mtukemp]

How can this even be questioned?? Get men off all womens courts, fields, out of pools and dressing rooms!

[DM-mcxn]

Why should a transgender's rights be more important than those of a biological woman?

[spankyssurprise]

This country is so lost...this shouldn't even be an argument.

[DellConnect]

If every day, I talk like Batman, walk like Batman, dress like Batman, and tell people that I'm Batman, it doesn't make me Batman; it makes me crazy.

[Mr.MIR]

That person who said "I couldn't make any sense out of the film" should not be sitting right in there. If its that hard for her to make any sense out of the obvious.., don't hope she could out of a more complicated matter.

[maliagar]

Those girls should refuse to play under those conditions. En masse.

[xxstarbellaflowerxx]

I can not believe this person's response to the video was, "I saw girls enjoying sports, " while there was a girl clearly screaming in pain.

[darthhiro]

This isn't even a "left or right" wing problem, this is a problem

[SilviaVanThreepwood]

That guy saying you "can't make sense of the film" is pure gaslighting...

[scottboettcher]

Parents of hurt females should sue every last person who OK's this.

[bizbobizbo]

2024 women are still fighting for their rights.

[splatten]

Why aren’t the feminists standing up for women in this?

[awestruck]

I can't believe this is even a debate. Next they'll be saying water is not wet.
