When are women going to stand up...

Because women are focused on the ACTUAL issue of reproductive freedom and aren’t being distracted by faux outrage culture war bs?

They can't walk and chew gum at the same time?

Lol, the left did do this and they are the ones ramming it down our throats and defending it.

How so? What did the left do? Create transexuals in a lab? Why is this not the fault of the regulating commissions that make the rules in sports? How are we defending it? By not getting the State involved? Why are new laws that take away rights the only thing you want out of Govt.?

Those who are competing should be pressuring their organization about it, if that's how they feel.

This is really the stupidest wedge issue ever. What you guys on the right were thinking when you moved to repeal Roe v Wade is completely beyond me. It was the perfect splitting issue, and you wrecked it. You're literally your own worst enemy.

I didn't move to reverse Roe v Wade. I've supported women's right to choose my entire adult life.

I have a trans daughter. She is not, has never been and likely will never be an athlete, much less a professional one. Likewise, professional chess in not likely to be in her future. I feel that trans women in athletics is the great unsolved issue regarding trans rights. Trans women in sports is the primary area where someone else's rights can be adversely affected by their inclusion.

Maybe when the issue becomes more of an 80th of a single percentage point of concern on their radar screen. Right now they want to protect their reproductive rights.

What exactly are they doing right now to protect their reproductive rights other than waiting for election day?
 
Hamish Howl said:
Yes. And that is another thing that should be addressed by the organization as they see fit.

I mean, they really do have to answer to the competitors.

Do monopolies have to listen to their customers?

So, again, petition the organizations.

In this case, yes. That's exactly why there are 4 power lifting organizations in the US.

People complained about doping, and the original organization didn't want to listen. So they lost 75% of their membership.

Make what true? I don't care. Nobody I know cares. Nobody here cares. You care. Good luck on your one-man crusade.

Your claim no one cares and its a one man crusade.

I'm complaining in the court of public opinion. That's how things change.

No it is not. At least unless you mean inciting a mob that insists we pass laws outlawing transexuals. New laws restricting rights is your only interest in Govt.

Nothing on this Earth has ever changed because of political boards.

So you're not really out to "fix" this, are you? You're trying to push a wedge issue and failing miserably.
 
Michael Cole said:
So, you've taken a weird thread and added stupidity to it.

Hey, not my fault you seem to have a problem here. I don't concern myself with things that don't concern me. Private entities are free to do what they want. I have actually important things to concern myself with. That you don't understand this is a shame.

Its not that I don't take the topic serious, I just don't take you serious.

The right has always been about Big Government.

Nah. You just can't defend yourself here. Normal people have priorities. This isn't one. Not my fault you don't understand.

Thinking I'm taking your faux concern seriously would be a mistake.

Good luck on your crusade.

Just restricting the non right former men have to compete in women's sports. I'm a conservative and a big believer in the pursuit of happiness, where ever it lies provided it doesn't interfere with fair competition. I don't get you folks really you see former men compete in women's sports win by a large margin and you say what's unfair about that? And you don't notice that someone born a woman loses as a result.
