To protect people. Have you never heard of state athletic commissions?Why is 'the government' involved in organised running-up-and-down-and-jumping-over-things at all?

And this is the real thing. None of this is really something government should be involved in at all.

No. You don't get to go around calling trans people dangerous for existing.To protect people. Have you never heard of state athletic commissions?
I guess someone who may run around a track faster than they do. But probably won’t because of the sheer number of factors involved.Protect people from what?
Conservatives engage in a coordinated freakout over trans people and then turn around and are like 'why do the Democrats keep talking about trans people?'And this is the real thing.

This is not a political isssue.
What are your criticims of your chosen party? You have none? Im still waiting on that.
10. Ten people in the entire world. That is what we are talking about. More children are currently hospitalized with measles because the GOP don't believe in germ theory.
But let's talk about it anyway since you are obviously misinformed on the issue.
It is not the Democrats policy to encourage trans people to play in women's sports. All the Democrats want is to allow the sports leagues that actually know and run the sports to be able to make their own decisions on how to handle it. The Dem's policy is that does not need governmental interference. A concept that is actually pretty right of center.
First off, once again 10 people in all of sports. Not even one specific sport. There is no feasible way to form a league for trans people.
But more importantly, why do you think that they don't deserve the same benefits we give every other athlete? It really sounds like your position is more or less that the federal government should be used not to help people but to discriminate against the ones you don't like.

You mean like the 10 commandments, upon which the majority of laws in the western hemisphere are based upon? Or Islamic laws, which many countries in the east are based upon? You are overwhelmingly incorrect in that statement.An overwhelming majority oppose using religious beliefs to determine policy. How's that working out? You against that too?
If you havent, then you are clearly you are not qualified to speak on the safety and fairness of sport. They regulate sport for safety and compliance with state and federal laws.Nope. Never heard of them. Any reason why I should have?
I think she's actually trying her best to do her job. She hangs out with certain groups, hears their concerns, then nobly tries to bring peace between her "Constituents" and her Boss. Unfortunately, perhaps even due to no fault of her own, her understanding of Reality makes her come up with these types of positions.Amazingly, MTG put out a long rambling Twitter post last night seemingly opposing the admins unflinching support of Israel in its quest to annihilate Gaza and draw Iran into war, while at the same time oppose continued military weapons support for Ukraine. Its still very unhinged, (obviously as she is ultra-ignorant of reality on so many levels) but the fact that she is apparently starting to question the admin on some things is a positive development.
Not hyperbole. GoogleCitations for 10 people in the world please?
Really? So, if it was only one person you think it is worth all the time and effort the GOP has put into it?Your hyperbole aside, it doesnt matter if its only one person in the world.
Or maybe we don't.If there are not enough to create their own league or category, then they must compete in the gender assigned to them at birth.
If they were not assigned a gender at birth? Get verified by a medical board as to which gender they more closely match, then present the evidence to the governing athletic body in their chosen sport, then compete in whatever category they decide. Its very simple.
You completely ignored the question. Polls repeatedly show around 75% of people oppose religious beliefs being a part of policy decisions. Are you OK with them being ignored? They are the majority. A bible quote does not set moral direction or form the only basis for it. So again I ask the same question.You mean like the 10 commandments, upon which the majority of laws in the western hemisphere are based upon? Or Islamic laws, which many countries in the east are based upon? You are overwhelmingly incorrect in that statement.
Agree, 100%. I think she is one of the most ignorant folks in Washington, with zero class. But I am glad to see cracks develop between Trump and those that seem to lap up all the drivel he spews.I think she's actually trying her best to do her job.

Garbage In, Garbage Out

Not hyperbole. Google
I'll take one mea culpa. My information was about the United States, when I searched, I didn't find any information about the world (not that the US cares about sports in other countries anyway)

Why are these weird creeps so obsessed with others’ genitals that they can manage to turn a thread on economics and tariffs into yet another discussion about them?
Drag queen story hour is not a transgender controversy. You're conflating drag queens with trans people--do you think drag queens are trans? Most of them aren't. And a trans woman who puts on a dress is not a drag queen.What was made up? Transgender controversies, like the drag-queen library storytime day that was scheduled, then cancelled due to public outcry, less than 40 miles from the extremely rural area where I live? It was hugely publicized locally, and for good reason, it was ill conceived and a bad idea. That was certainly not made up.
Are you saying you believe every person assigned male at birth is always better than every cis woman at every sport, forever? That doesn't seem to be what the small amount of available evidence shows. Perhaps we could allow the governing bodies of sports to develop their own rules?I dont hate transgender people at all. Why would you say that other than to shift the argument at hand and attempt to slander my character?
Are you saying that you dont believe natural born men have unfair advantages over natural born women in athleticism?
The "Alliance Defending Freedom" is largely responsible for the amplification of the issue initially. I have some measure of personal experience with this, and the difference before and after their efforts was pretty striking. Conservatives didn't rabidly hate trans people until they were told to. Even the MAGA conservatives I was friends with pre-2020 before I moved generally followed the same typical mainstream behavior of "well, I don't get it, but okay" that most people do.Conservatives engage in a coordinated freakout over trans people and then turn around and are like 'why do the Democrats keep talking about trans people?'

I think you meant, "Stopped Oppressing them."I can be ugly and insulting too. Are you illiterate? I said empowering, on a national level, such appearances to occur where they are clearly unwelcome. Learn to read because you personally insult.
