House passes bill banning trans women from sports

House Republicans on Thursday passed a bill that seeks to prohibit transgender women and girls from participating in female athletic programs, moving to the national stage an issue that has thus far mainly played out in state legislatures and individual sports associations.

Way to go woman's sports have become a joke with these men who can't win against other men. Just make a new category with trans athletes only sports.. in my opinion

[StuartwasDrinkell]

Is that a glimmer of sanity on the horizon?

[Knapweed]

You can call yourself whatever you want but don't try and force me to buy into your delusion.

[rosswoolley]

Now pass a bill to stop men identifying as women going into women's bathrooms!

[LASTmanSTANDING]

How this nearly passed is more alarming than the fact that they even have to make a bill about protecting biological women… My biggest problem is that most biological Women are not standing up for women. I don’t give a crap about how you feel you are, I care about who you truly are yet this world is going down the drain. Welcome to Rome.

Good. Now let's get the Senate to agree.

AS IT. SHOULD BE. WOMENS SPORTS!! LEAVE IT THAT WAY.

[louguzzo]

My teen Daughter should not compete against any males in SPORTS. If that is so, let's just have 1 team! Take the best players and I bet those teams will be all male.

World going cray. Let's keep getting that sanity back

[chriswarrior]

I totally support this. If she'males want to compete give them their own category but keep them out of women's sports.

[mr.ponstan]

Impeach! Get this country back on track.

I can remember when women use to complain because their sport was labeled women sports instead of just a certain sport and how some women would say they could not only compete with the men but they could beat the men but was not given the chance

America this is actually easy, just follow the Science: XX bathrooms/Sports and XY bathrooms/sports. An accommodation would include an Unisex bathroom/sports. If anyone wants to bring a Lawsuit let them sue Mother nature or their parents, otherwise it's a frivolous lawsuit and can be dismissed.

[michaelhernandez]

Funny how there's no discussion about biological women competing in men's sports lol

[jonnyc]

Good. It won't become a law, but at least they're trying.

Remember what Martin Niemöller said:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

[wonderedrouge]

I support this definitely. Keep trans people out of women’s sports. It’s just that simple.

[derice]

I applaud this bill to save our biological existence.

[clayton]

God bless America. We always get it right, eventually.

[dougbodenhamer]

Finally, a f#cking common sense bill.
