Trans gender Athletes banned from female sports

Supreme Court Upholds State Bans on Transgender Athletes Under Title IX
The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld state laws banning transgender girls and women from competing on school athletic teams, ruling that such bans do not violate Title IX or the Constitution AP News+1.

Case Background
The decision came in two closely watched cases — West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox — involving bans in Idaho and West Virginia. The Court’s six-justice conservative majority, led by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, held that states may maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females and determine eligibility based on biological sex CBS News.

YOU ARE AWESOME! 💖💖💖 Months ago I sent you my honest thoughts on this topic but you never responded! 🥺🥺🥺 I rather you read my PM on this topic instead of disscissing that here but in short I can understand and completely agree with Conservatives on not wanting trans woman in womans bathrooms or professional womans sports BUT I bet most Conservatives do not know a trans person on a friendship level and if you actually met a real trans person and got to know them you will see they are some of the kindnest people I have ever met! 😇😇😇 In short it is hard for me to keep the views you have on trans (not saying I completely disagree) when the few trans people I know in real life have ever only shown me kindness! 😥😥😥 I am VERY pro LGBTQ but with trans I think there should be some limits to protect woman and children so I agree with Conservatives a quite a bit on that BUT the few trans people I know who have the views that they should be allowed in womans bathrooms are literally so full of kindness and compassion and would NEVER harm a soul and I am honestly willing to bet most Conservatives do not know a trans person with the views they should be allowed in wonans bathrooms on a personal level and I cannot in my heart stand against trans woman when they have only ever shown me kindness and empathy! 😇😇😇 I dislike most Conservatives because I am quite left wing BUT both you @DogMan, Onewithshoes @onewithshoes and Barefooter25 @Barefooter25 have ever only shown me kindness and empathy too so that is why you three are the only Conservatives I consider friends and it's the same with trans people because I don't know a trans person who has not shown me tons of love which being honest is definitely not the case with Conservatives except you three! 😇😇😇 Maybe if you got to know a trans person on a friendship level your views may soften a little because while on this issue I agree with your side (children's safety MUST come first), I know in my heart the trans people I know would NEVER dream of harming a child and it's hard to not have a soften view when they have shown me kindness that most Conservatives accept you three have not shown me! 😇😇😇 In short I don't disagree with you but my views have softened a lot because I know some trans people in real life (I actually am friends with them) and they are some of the most loving people I have ever met! 💖💖💖

@Waveney LOL, wrong again, Male coaches do not compete against women. and they do not shower with them.

Try again!
Waveney · M
@DogMan No but they often go into women's changing rooms, do they not?

And also:

"You know, they're standing there with no clothes... And you see these incredible-looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that."
I wonder who said that...?

MommyLucy needs psychiatric help
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Midlifemale Lucy is a good person, stop bullying her. She is autistic, and tells the truth.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@emiliya Why do you have a problem with my friend Lucy? Is she not allowed to have an opinion?
DogMan · 61-69, M
@MommyLucy Don't listen to them Lucy. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and don't worry
about what others say. We may not agree on everything, but I listen to everything you say.

You have insight that others do not have.

So Orange went 1-1 with SCOTUS huh
Waveney · M
And Americans can breathe again. So many problems in your country, but at least a few kids are banned from playing sport.
Waveney · M
@DogMan
If you had a daughter that spent most of her life practicing a female sport, and was told
that she would be competing against dudes, you would think it was a problem
Except that's never actually happened, has it? No girl has been told that she's competing against men.

But let's be honest, this is 100% about trans people. Isn;t it? You just don't approve. Do you?

@Waveney ia Liilii comes from a big family in Hawaii, the ninth of 11 children. Without her volleyball scholarship at the University of Nevada at Reno, she told me recently, she would never have been able to go to college. So when she got wind this past summer that one of Nevada’s opponents in the Mountain West Conference, San Jose State University, was fielding a transgender player, she rebelled. “It’s not right that this person is taking not only a starting spot but a roster spot, from a female who has, just like us, played volleyball her whole life and dreamt of playing at the collegiate level,” Liilii said.

The story of transgender women competing in female sports is frequently told as one of inclusion—creating opportunities for people to compete as their authentic selves. But for athletes such as Liilii, these rules were a matter of exclusion. Every spot taken by someone with a male athletic advantage is an opportunity closed to a female rival.

Good. It's ridiculous it had to go all the way to the Supreme Court to determine this.

I'm sorry, but it has become clear to me that we need to protect women and children from extreme trans right activists and the consequences of allowing men in women's and children's spaces like this.
emiliya · 26-30, F
What if I want to see women being trounced by men?
DogMan · 61-69, M
@emiliya I'm sure you can find it in dark corners of the internet. Or on South Park.
idontcareok · 70-79, M
fk guys tryin to be girls in sports,
DogMan · 61-69, M
@idontcareok They can't win in male sports.
DogMan · 61-69, M
What about trans men competing in men's sports? You never hear much about that.

Why is that?
Gibbon · 70-79, M
@DogMan Because they might get get their whittle feeweelings hurt or get bruised competing with equal mass or strength.
Adrift · 61-69, F
Why not just have their own division?
tenente · 36-40, M
Yes, I see. There’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom. Schools will need a strategy how to test for this. I don't even trust schools to teach math and reading.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@tenente I don't understand your point. No one is being stopped from playing sports or going to the bathroom.
DogMan · 61-69, M
Trans people and the hard left seem to call anyone that is against men competing against
women, Transphobic, but doesn't that make them Realityphobic ?
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Waveney Why? What makes us transphobic?
Waveney · M
@DogMan Because you, and others on the far-right are obsessed with trans people. You have to ask why.

Not very inclusive for women and girls is it?
Waveney · M
@DogMan That’s not an argument, it’s a slogan. Sport isn’t a fixed pie of male advantage spots being stolen from women. You know it, I know it.

This is just transphobic rhetoric.

We're done here.

@Waveney Why do you hate women so much?
Waveney · M
@sunsporter1649 I don't recall saying that.
