“just 28% of American Adults favor allowing transgender students to participate on the sports team of the gender they identify with, letting biological males, for example, play girls’ sports.”

How can as many as 28% support such obvious lunacy? This shows the power of LGBTQXYZPDQ propaganda.

I’ve never met a person that was for it. I’ve never heard anyone on youtube or television argue for it effectively. It’s just one of those crazy things.

HAH!!

For years women have demanded to let into all male organizations, clubs and work at jobs better suited for strong men (think firefighter). GIRL POWER!

Now they’re getting beat by pretend women in all women’s sports and it’s not so fun.

Too Bad!!

I see your point. However, I feel badly for the junior high, high school and college age female athletes . . . those who will never even approach professional levels . . . those who play for the love of their sport and maybe achieve a college scholarship by developing their skill. They are being hammered by the cultural engineers and cheaters. It will drive many away from participating when they know they will be dominated by a stacked deck.

I long for the day when common sense was not missing in action. So-called transgender females competing against REAL females in sport defies common sense in every respect.

They are ignorant, and if they will not be re-educated then we will ensure that their children will be.

The left does not believe in objective reality. If you “identify” as something, that makes it true and the left will use the power of the state to force people to accept politically correct but subjective standards. This gives the left unlimited power. They don’t have to prove something is true, they don’t have to win arguments. They just claim their view is correct and they don’t have to prove a thing and any other view is a thought crime.

Yep, even dodge ball is discriminatory these days.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier.

We have been transformed into a dysfunctional country of chronic neurotics.

The next election will be very telling as to whether or not there is any future left for this country.

There are a few girls wrestling in high school. (mostly at the lower weight classes 100-115#)some are successful, but by the time State finals come around, I don’t believe there are more than 1 or 2 across the whole country.

Please check the facts before you write such things.

Over 30 million women voted for Trump in 2016.

Big majorities of women and girls oppose people born "boys" competing against girls in athletics.

There's no way that can indicate that "Women overwhelmingly support and vote for the radical Democrat agenda."

It’s quite simple really. Feminists have told us for decades that there is no difference between male and female, that women can do anything a man can do.

These biological male athletes competing against biological female athletes have blown that lie right out of the water.

There are a few cases of girls joining and competing on boy’s football teams. The ones I have read about are Place Kickers but I have also read about a large sized girl playing on the offensive line. Go figure.
It is a crazy gimmick and all should be charged with endangering these girls’ safety.

Take this to the logical conclusion

What is going to happen when 100% of the “girls” teams are populated by “former” boys? And 100% of the college scholarships go to former boys?

it would be in a boys best interest at this point to just “ identify” as female, figure out what sport they could be decent at and then scoop up as many scholarship opportunities as possible. full ride to ivy league AND grad school for free? Sign him (err her) up!

After they get out of school they could then “come out” as a straight male.

Are they also being beaten in sports-college scholarships?

Transgender Athletes = Cheaters

Nonsense. If it's within the boundaries of the rules, it is NOT cheating.

Don't like it? Then don't participate....or change the rules...or even better, get rid of the scumbags that made the rules...by whatever means necessary.

The easiest way to get around this is to have every female athlete in a public school sports program quit en masse.

Let private organizations run their own athletic programs -- with their own standards for eligibility.

Works for me of taxes go down..

But, THE thing to do is have ONE team. One team for everybody, basketball, baseball, field hockey, whatever. No more Boys or Girls teams.

But, I suppose the real goal here really IS to destroy sports all together, right?
