OkTen to thirteen years ago you had not yet been trained to support men taking away sports medals from women.

I don’t understand the logic of allowing trans folk to enter female events if they haven’t transitioned physically. Can someone explain? Did this person change over?Or just ban males from entering female sporting divisions...

Same.I had never have imagined I would encounter people who had never heard of big brother.
I think it is necessary for the left to pick their battles in order to win. Bigots want the fight to be about trans women in women's sports and puberty blockers for 11 year olds. That is what they want the fight to be about because then it is a winning issue for them. Don't give them 80/20 issues. Say, yeah, it can be unfair for a trans woman to compete in women's sports, then go on to point out that the right is utterly obsessed with demonizing trans people and have introduced hundreds of anti-trans bills in the last year alone. I think trans women competing in women's sports is often unfair. I also think that trans people should have legal protections for housing discrimination, employment discrimination, healthcare discrimination and so on. I think they should be able to fully participate in society, use the bathroom that correlates to their gender indentity, change their drivers license to match their gender identity and so on. You know the issues that actually that actually matter to trans people, and are also winning issues for Democrats and losers for bigots.What is the loser?
Showing how absurd the right wing propaganda is?
Do you think I'm trying to sway the opinion of the Uber gullible?
I'm not.
I cannot fix stupid.
And if you think its necessary for the left to stop exposing stupidity in order to "win", that is a moronic contention.
Right wingers use this to justify mandatory genital checks for children.
And they think they're on the right side.

No will go back and find and read.I am not sure. Did you read the article?
Did so. The article didn’t mention whether he had transitioned.No will go back and find and read.
It's a "winning issue" for bigots and stupid people.it is a winning issue for them.
I "let them"?Letting Republicans make the issue about trans women in women's sports gives them a winning issue,
Do what?Whoa, whoa, whoa....it's really not a big deal....
I've been consistently informed by countless liberals and progressives over the last several years--way too many to count--that this only impacts like a few people. So, again, it's really a minor thing that's not worth getting worked up about.
Plus, it's at least an 80-20, if not a 90-10 issue at this point. I want to be on the right side of history on this, and you should follow the lead of the 80-90% and do the same.
Big brother is the world entity that has you trained to think that women have penises.Same.
Did you imagine big brother being something other than the current administration?
Stupid bigots,?It's a "winning issue" for bigots and stupid people.
I will never change the minds of stupid bigots, nor will I attempt to Influence who they hate.
I "let them"?
They're gunna do what they're gunna do.
Do you actually believe they can Influence people who care about inclusion and the law?
while I appreciate the alleged "heads up" you're offering, I negate it's value by reason of ethical and moral values.
Magas have none.
You asked what the federal interest was, and I gave it to you: correcting the misapplication of Title IX by Democratic presidential administrations to trans men competing in women’s divisions in college sports.
We stand up for all Women.
That includes transWomen.
Why is the Federal government involved in this? Why is the President involved?
It's because the angry bigoted fools that support him hate trans women.
That's the only reason.
This should be left to the folks who run these events.
That's it.
This should never have been blown out of proportion, by the bigots puppetmaster, donald trump.
You placed fault with Obama and Biden.
What an incredibly moronic and false statement. It was Judges interpretation of civil rights statutes that made the rulings supporting trans folk.
But the maga fools have their little hard on's over Obama and Biden, so any chance to lie about them is chance at glee for them.
It's expected
You do you
Big brother is the world entity that has you trained to think that women have penises.
Oh, really?they exceeded their authority when they applied Title IX to trans students going back to Obama’s bathroom directive.
This is one issue where I have to break from liberals, it is unfair to expect women to compete against men in most athletic endevours requiringThis affects literally almost nobody. Why should the general electorate care?
How many trans athletes do you think we’re talking about?This is one issue where I have to break from liberals, it is unfair to expect women to compete against men in most athletic endevours requiring
physical strength. If trans women want to compete in athletics they should form their own teams and challenge one another, or compete against men.
Let me turn your argument around, why can't trans women compete against men? If the numbers are that small why would it matter?How many trans athletes do you think we’re talking about?
You seem to think it’s super common.
You're not trying to sell me some sort of magazine subscription, are you?Have you heard of intersex?
I was wrong. You made it even dumber somehow.I think you meant to respond to @lynnwinslow
