Robert Kennedy Jr. opposes allowing trans women to compete in female sports
The New York Post ^ | 04/29/2023 | Katherine Dunlevy

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in a new interview that he does not support transgender females participating in women’s sports.

The Democrat told CNN on Saturday that “biological males” threaten the integrity of women’s athletics.

“I am against people participating in women’s sports who are biologically male,” Kennedy, 69, said,

“I think women who have worked too hard to develop women’s sports over the past 30 years I watched it happen and I don’t think that’s fair.”

Kennedy — who announced his candidacy April 19 — said his lack of support for transgender participation is just one of the many issues he and President Biden “differ really dramatically.”

A Biden administration proposal introduced earlier this month aimed to forbid schools and colleges across the county from enacting outright bans on transgender athletes.

Last week, however, House Republicans passed a bill that would ban transgender female athletes from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports by amending Title IX protections to only apply to biologically female athletes.

Not a single Democrat supported the measure, though 10 refused to cast votes.

Biden said he would veto the bill if it were to land on his desk. *** “I think our country’s heading in a bad direction, and that’s why I’m running,” the nephew of late President John F. Kennedy and son of former US attorney general and assassinated 1968 presidential candidate Robert Kennedy said.

RFK, Jr. is out of step with the Democrat Party.

As an aside, the Biden administration has dictated that men who “transition” to women must sign up for the Selective Service. However, women who “transition” to men cannot sign up for Selective Service.

This used to be a sign of insanity. Or in Corporal Klinger’s case, feigned insanity:

RFK Jr. is competing against the media and Democrat establishment not Joe Biden. But Biden is such a drag on their credibility that they will have to cheat in every possible way to keep him from winning the nomination.

If Kennedy wins the nomination it will create an almost comical situation. President Trump will still be claiming that he saves 100 million people by fast tracking the awful and hated covid vaccines. RFK will still be a socialist whose policies will accelerate the destruction of our country but he will be speaking the truth about the vaccines, trans-gender athletes, etc... And he has the Kennedy name which will have a lot of pull with youngsters and many other traditional Democrats. I believe he is a stronger candidate than the senile idiot who currently occupies the Whitehouse.

“Ten Democrats refused to cast votes”

Such courage and bravery!! We hear all the time how men dressed in women’s clothes and prancing around as an evil caricature of women are “courageous and brave.” Yet, when the time comes, these coward Democrats refuse to vote.

Sorry, D’s, you can’t split this baby!

That’s two issues on which. I agree with Kennedy.

Vaccines are bad.

Persons with penises do not belong in Women’s Sports.

Now, if he would only agree with me that killing babies in the womb is barbaric and should be banned by Federal Law at every stage of pre-birth.

It’s late, and i read your post to say “Biden is such a drag queen.”

An image came to mind of OldJoe prancing about in one of Jill’s flowery upholstery dresses, with fishnet tights and six-inch heels.

Now I will have nightmares! 💃💃💃

Don’t kid yourself, he’ll “evolve”

If he were serious, he would give the Rat party the bird, and leave immediately.

"Awful and hated" are your words. Some lives were saved, some people are grateful. Apparently you must know how many.

If he did nothing you would be chastising him for that.

You're trying to paint Trump a liar or a fraud. The truth is, you're the liar and or fraud.

And, if RFK Jr would renounce his slobbering admiration of Hugo Chavez and statements that “climate deniers” should be jailed, he might appeal to a larger audience.

But he won’t.

He may be an anti-vaxxer who opposes trannies participating women’s sports, but RFJ Jr. is still pages to the far left of the political spectrum.

But the left is now so far to port that a RFK Jr. is considered preferable to some conservatives over DeSantis if Trump is not nominated.

Funny how Klinger married a Korean girl and wound up staying. I wonder how many people know that both Jamie Farr and Alan Alda actually served in Korea...after the war.

Whenever you see the words “trans men” or “trans women” just replace the word, “trans,” with “fake.”

Just another fake thing in the Age of Fake, Fraud, Falsehoods we live in these days.
