“It’s funny because it can’t happen here”

Tomorrow, in San Antonio, Texas, the NCAA will hold its annual convention. But they’re going to have some visitors at the big event that the organization’s leaders likely won’t be happy to see. The group Concerned Women for America, among the country’s biggest women’s policy organizations, will be holding a rally to greet the leaders of the NCAA as they arrive, but they won’t be bringing flowers or asking for autographs. They will be handing in a petition with thousands of signatures from women around the country demanding that the NCAA stop allowing men who “identify” as women to compete in collegiate women’s sporting events. The group has a website set up (Our Bodies, Our Sports) where they continue to collect signatures and offer help with organizing trips to join the rally. Even if you can’t make it to the event, feel free to sign the petition at the second link if you feel so inclined.
On Thursday, January 12, Concerned Women for America (CWA), the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization, will join female athletes, coaches, parents, and policy leaders in a rally during the annual convention of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in San Antonio, Texas, to demand that the organization, the governing body for collegiate sports, stop discriminating against female athletes.
The NCAA allows males who identify as women to play women’s sports, so long as their levels of testosterone meet certain sport-specific requirements. The NCAA adopted this policy despite scientific studies that prove testosterone suppression cannot eliminate the male athletic advantage.
“I am one of the thousands of female athletes the NCAA has turned its back on in the name of ‘inclusion,’” said Macy Petty, an NCAA volleyball player and Young Women for America Ambassador. “The NCAA has forsaken our safety and opportunity to compete on an equal playing field to cater to the desire of a few.” During USA Volleyball junior qualifiers, Petty competed against a male athlete identifying as a female which affected her recruiting potential.
Penny Nance, the CEO and President of CWA is quoted as saying, “Macy [Petty] and many other young female athletes have lost their trophies, their scholarships, and their opportunities to advance in their sports because of the NCAA’s pathetic policies.”
CWA has a coalition of other women’s rights groups joining them in this effort. This collection includes gay and lesbian organizations, demonstrating that even if you’re a lesbian and you support the rights of transgender people, that doesn’t mean that you are automatically okay with allowing men to compete against actual women.
One person who will likely not be participating is Lia Thomas. He became something of the poster child of this movement last year when he broke a number of records in collegiate women’s swimming events, despite having been a rather mediocre competitor when previously competing against the rest of the men.
The rally is bringing along some science to submit along with the signatures. The organizers are pointing to multiple studies showing that simply lowering a male athlete’s testosterone levels (as the NCAA specifies) doesn’t come anywhere near eliminating the inherent physical advantages that males have in competitive sports. They will feature several women who lost their chances at scholarships and placements at universities after males knocked them out of the running in their chosen field of sports.
Thus far the NCAA has refused all of the calls to reverse its policies on transgender competitors in sporting events. Perhaps if this rally is large and loud enough, the association will begin to change its mind. Here’s wishing them the best of luck. Here are the details:

Women of all ages lead the woke revolution. Often with extreme prejudice.
But it’s the only way those little beto cucks can win...
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Sorry ladies, but you convinced me to support “gender equality”. Women demanded that society be gender neutral. And yet at the same time they are also demanding that we keep a separate but equal “women’s sports” exception for them as a safe space.
Screw it. “Women’s sports” should be banned once and for all. It’s a sexist vestige of a bygone era. There should just be “sports” and if a woman can compete alongside the men then let her do so. Just like in every other sector of our culture.
stop voting RAT!!!
I've yet to hear Prager denounce the horror of underage boys encouraged to remove penises. He might have, but I haven't heard him.
Conservative Inc. is only willing to oppose trannies when they can defend women. They lack the courage to defend boys or men.
If trannies only harmed boys and men, there'd be NO pushback.
I know this sounds sexist, but women want things both ways as it suits them.
There’s an easy fix. Have trans athletes compete in their own division. It’s fine for them to compete amongst themselves but not against biological women.

Segregated sports leagues have no place under current U.S. civil rights laws.
If you claim to be equal to men when it comes to political and corporate leadership roles, then surely you can beat them in sports as well.
Cry me a river.
Nonsense. It’s on conservative news plenty.
Not that boys are actually removing appendages. All you have to do is “ID”.
But, but, but….then we’d find out there aren’t that many and it would have to be cancelled!
Transgender is removed from Trans-dragon only by degree. In addition to hormone therapy, reconstruction, and prosthesis, the latter also suggests the need for an ignition source and fuel supply.
I’m with their cause 100%.
If all women athletes and fans walk away from any event a transfolk athlete shows up for, the NCAA and any other twisted athletic organization will untwist themselves quickly. Imagine a basketball game with one player on the floor after a walkoff, or a track event with one lane occupied after all the women walk away before the start. Imagine a field hockey game gone bad...
If women stopped voting Rat this wouldn’t happen.
You made your bed ladies, it’s time to sleep in it.
Just be prepared to be called a bigot, racist, homophobic, transphobic or whatever conversation killing word is in vogue this month.
There’s a war on women going on, all right.
Deep State is waging it.
And modern feminists are its handmaidens.
The War on Women.
