Social Democrats block bill to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports

That's bullshit because federal law is what allows female sports in the first place - Title IX. This concerns federal law so it would be impossible for the federal government to not be involved.

Title 9 also protects trans athletes, like it or not. There are states already banning trans athletes from competing against biological women. Isn’t that how government should work according to how republicans used to think?
 
Of all the controversial stuff Trump has done in the past month (tarrifs on our trading partners, giving an unprecedented amount of power to the world's richest man, pausing funding to Urkaine etc).... and this is the issue that Democrats decide to take a stand on :rolleyes:

That’s kinda the whole point. They shouldn’t be wasting time on nonsense legislation when there are bigger fish to fry, as you perfectly pointed out.

The Title 9 change that Biden instituted regarding trans athletes got reversed by Trump.

And all the state bans on transgender athletes got reversed by activist judges or some of the states are outright ignoring the executive order.

The title 9 changes were scrapped by a federal judge before Trump took office, which put the power back in the hands of the individual states. I’m ok with that.

I just want this to no longer be part of a national debate. There are people (my parents) basing their vote on this sole issue, totally on emotions because they heard a random story about a trans athlete that makes them mad. Meanwhile, the local democrat government built my mom a handicap accessible bathroom. The democrat state government gave her all sorts of money for her cancer treatments. And just like my parents, there are millions of people voting against their own interests, because of an issue that will never affect them. The 24/7 news outlets and the thousand independent podcasts that exist, tell us that this is the biggest issue of our lives. It just isn’t.

No it doesn't it is based on biological women's protection.

Creepy Joe came up with the EO saying it does which was bullshit. Trump fixed that.

Then take it up with the wacky Dems, that insist on resisting common sense. That's the only reason it is an issue. It's the Dems focusing on this tiny issue and making it part of their identity. The Reps are just responding to it, and their views align with the vast majority of the country. It's a layup of an issue, and it's only there for the taking because the Dems keep passing the ball to them under the rim.

A politician could have 99% of the issues correct, but if 1% of that is "The Earth is flat", or "Men can get pregnant", it's gonna overshadow everything else, and their sanity will be questioned.
 
There more than 500k student athletes in the NCAA. There are approximately 10 who identify as transgendered. This is for the NCAA to decide, not the government. Same goes for high school athletes and whatever commission governs them. Both sides of the aisle need to get off this issue that really doesn’t affect 99% of the population.
You're willing to piss off 80% of Americans which includes Democrats to advocate for 10 people? This isn't the great argument you think it is.

“A recipient institution that receives Department funds must operate its education program or activity in a nondiscriminatory manner free of discrimination based on sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity.”

My whole argument is that it should’ve never gotten to this point. Pretty much saying it shouldn’t be an issue for either side. There are more important things for both sides.

Well, you should probably read the room. This is a massively unpopular issue for Democrats and all you're doing is pissing people off. It's like you want to lose.

The states can solve that issue on their own if they choose to, as many already have. That used to be the Republican way.

Nice chatting with ya. We’ll meet at the next topic lol.

Well you're going to keep hearing about it because Congress just blocked the bill.

And Trump DID revert the Title 9 changes Biden did.


"The Department of Education announced Friday it is scrapping former President Biden’s 2024 Title IX changes, getting rid of discrimination protection based on gender identity and sexual orientation and changing how sexual assault cases are handled on campus."

Yet, the Biden administration was federally mandating it. Odd how you have no problem with that, but only when it's being pushed back on.

What you really want to say, is that you wish Republicans would ignore it, because it's very harmful for your party if they address it. What you should be saying is "Goddamn, I wish the Dems would just drop this stupid shit and quit scoring own goals."

Sort of. While I get what you are saying , perhaps you didn't consider that there is nothing most people take more seriously than their children and this issue absolutely makes a lot of parents nuts. They don't want creeps in the locker room with they kids and they don't want some dude molly whoppin their daughters....and they don't want some weirdo teacher to confuse the kids as well.

So yes while it's not the biggest issue it for sure creates a lot of heat and the democrats really need to send a clear message they are on those parents side if they want those votes to come back to them. Trump is the president again because they failed to read the room right and it appears they haven't learned the lesson.

Federal legislation is not necessary for an issue that doesn’t affect 99% of the American population. That’s what you folks don’t understand. How about the right focuses on passing legislation that actually affects you and me. I met one trans person in my entire life and it was 20 years ago. I don’t give a rat’s ass about this non-issue. If a local athletic commission allows or doesn’t allow trans athletes to compete, so be it. But let them decide. Federal tax payers money shouldn’t be wasted on what really is a tiny non-issue.
Look that, contradicting yourself, troll exposed ….
2021 Biden EO added the trans stuff to Title IX, ya know federal involvement

I have no idea what you're saying but apparently chatpgt can decifer this nonsense. here you go.

"Yo, that’s a real reasoning still. If yuh pree di whole ting, competition supposed to be ‘bout di best of di best, but yuh done know seh di dynamics different when it come to physicality. Mi see wah yuh a seh—if di standard level fi real competition is “everybody vs everybody,” den di real ting ago sort itself out naturally. But yuh know seh di world nuh move so clean, people always a push fi fairness inna ways weh nuh always mek sense.

But mi haffi ask, yuh feel like dem argument deh valid across di board? Or some tings just fi keep separate fi di sake a balance?"
