I am right there with you. Who enjoys watching women fighting each other? I don’t get it.

Did you watch "Dynasty" back in the mid-80's?

Where are all the “transmen” (AKA women) competing against real men in sports??? It seems to only go one way.

The enforcement of Title IX in college athletics has been one of the dumbest applications of civil rights law in America. This “transgender” stupidity is the perfect antidote for that Title IX travesty.

Why is giving girls access to sports and scholarships that were once only afforded to males a "dumb application"?

The fact that it is now being bastardized by the leftists and their support of males suffering from gender dysphoria, or just plain scamming the system for personal gain, was never anticipated when Title IX went into effect.

One could make the argument that giving women the right to vote via the 19th Amendment was a bad idea also.......LOL!

Scholarships aren’t even mentioned in Title IX, so I’m not sure what it means when you say something was “never anticipated.”

The DOJ enforcement of Title IX in college athletics has forced schools to ensure that it offers the same number of female athletes and male athletes — even if very few women have any interest in the schools’ sports programs.

So if a school with 500 male athletes among 10,000 male students has 10,000 female students, it must provide funding for sports programs that accommodate 500 female athletes. If only 200 females participate in the school’s athletic program, then the school is forced to cut 300 male athletes from its sports program in order to comply with the Federal Title IX requirements. The end result of all this is that many schools end up eliminating successful — and sometimes very popular — men’s teams in events like wrestling and cycling just to meet some stupid bureaucrat’s requirement for “equality.”

I wouldn’t argue with that.

You wouldn’t see any political support for these tranny mutants if it weren’t for women voters.

Just one more reason for normal men to laugh our asses off as these mutants destroy women’s sports.

Well the D grade “MEN” knew they couldn’t compete against other standard grade men in any sport so they figured it out.

I’ll just get some implants, grow my hair long, and change my first name; THEN SCREAM DISCRIMINATION IF THEY DON’T LET ME COMPETE AGAINST AND KICK REAL WOMAN ASS!
