Female Fencer Refuses To Fight a Biological Male And Takes A Knee To Boycott The Competition. When Will Democrats Stop Supporting Men In Women's Sports?

Did they do away with the testing????

Why is this political?

Well OK, lets say that a sports' governing body decides to address the issue: Why should they allow biological males to compete with biological females?

That is the question at the root of this thread's topic. Now go for it.

... The male "women" are SHATTERING records in Women's Sports.
President Trump vowed to put a stop to this insanity.
Leave the Women's Sports to the WOMEN!

So, good for the female fencer who decided to stand her ground
and refuse to compete.

List those broken records please. For once.

Were any of them in fencing, which seems to be the topic of this thread, eh?

How much women's sports do any of you purists watch?

Here's one found via a simple Google search which I'd bet even you could perform if you were truly interested in the answer. You're not.

“When Will Democrats Stop Supporting Men In Women's Sports?”

Do you have any statements by mainstream democrats supporting men in women’s sports? Does the government have any legitimate interest or legal authority to regulate women’s sports?

I think the answer is no.

To all of your questions.

Typical leftist attempt at changing the subject. We don't want to talk about this so lets call it nothing and move on....like the laptop and Biden's cognitive decline.

Good grief!
From the linked article. ""I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that," Moulton told The Times.

And another Dem said this" Speaking to The New York Times on Wednesday, Suozzi said: “The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left. “I don’t want to discriminate against anybody, but I don’t think biological boys should be playing in girls’ sports.

“Democrats aren’t saying that, and they should be.”

I asked the questions because I actually wanted an answer on the record.

Despite the insulting tone and the incomplete response to the questions the answers accurately frame the issue.

First of all In December 2024, NCAA President Charlie Baker testified before a congressional hearing, stating that he knew of fewer than 10 transgender student-athletes among the 510,000 athletes competing at the collegiate level. Or .01 percent.

Yet this issue receives an overwhelming amount of attention from republican politicians and right wing media. This includes multiple rounds of legislation banning transgender athletes from competing as their gender identity rather than their gender at birth. This legislation amends Title IX which only applies to programs receiving federal funding.

One could argue that this outsized attention has either changed public opinion or more likely revealed the public’s true opinion because politics forced them to confront the issue. It’s certainly not because it’s an issue of any real magnitude.


https://www.pewresearch.org/short-re...-recent-years/
The Pew Research Center reports:

Americans have grown more supportive of restrictions for trans people in recent years

A new Pew Research Center survey finds that majorities of U.S. adults favor or strongly favor laws and policies that:
. Require trans athletes to compete on teams that match their sex assigned at birth (66%)
. Ban health care professionals from providing care related to gender transitions for minors (56%)

But at the same time, 56% of adults express support for policies aimed at protecting trans people from discrimination in jobs, housing and public spaces.

Democrats have realized that this is a losing issue. Sooner or later Republicans are going to have to stop flapping their gums about this nonsense because that’s what it really is.

Maybe they’ll move onto a new boogie man. Or back to an old one, like science denial doe example.

They’re all lathered up about something that poses no threat to them or the nation.

It isn’t the issue, but the lather that matters to the MAGA. ,

There's actual reasoning here. So why haven't we done something crazy and just made a 3rd bracket. Trans vs. Trans...doesn't matter which way you're going, xy wanting to be xx or xx wanting to be xy. Seems like a simple solution. I know, there would probably only be like 2 matches a year but for god's sake pickleball was on ESPN during covid and I went over 50 years knowing without knowing it exisited.
