So we are still talking about Trump, instead of Biden. Even though Biden has appointed a black supremacist to the DoJ and also cancelled womans sports. If Trump did this we would be 20 pages deep already. | This user groans at California Dreamer for this post: | |

He's really well known for lynching them po' whites.
And I love the idea that women's sports have been "cancelled" because Biden opposes discrimination on the grounds of gender identity. Yes, that's definitely his intention, and certainly what will happen: every softball team, every netball team, every game of field hockey in the country is now cancelled, unless there are boys playing, of course. But presumably not with transgender boys, though. Come to think of it, I guess ALL sport is now cancelled, as there could be transgender males wanting to play in men's teams, too!
Who do you turn to for your news? It's getting harder and harder to find Alex Jones but you're managing, somehow!

Total nonsense as usual. Trump needs to be held to account and we will not allow little old you to brush it under the carpet that easily. Clearly you have have respect for democracy nor love of your country.

Gender identity is not the same as sex. It's the thin end of the wedge. To be fair, male bodied athletes who self ID as women in order to compete in women's events is a travesty. Those men may not have been contenders when competing against men but on the whole have a physical advantage over women.
Fallon Fox broke a (female) opponent's skull. And gloated.
Rachel McKinnon- cycling
Laurel Hubbard - weightlifting
Female teen athletes in the US are losing out on university scholarships to transwomen.
I don't think there is a corresponding number of transmen in similar situations.
It's an issue of taking over women's spaces because suddenly these transwomen have more rights - and want more rights - than women.
And this isn't misandry. Or a victim mentality. Some - not all - some TW seem to view women only spaces as the ultimate target. Rape crisis centres, women only wards, women only changing rooms. The word "women" has been erased from some services and replaced with "people with a cervix". It's both ludicrous and appalling.

The honestly not exactly common issue of trans women competing against "people with a cervix" needs to be dealt with, and indeed is at higher levels of sport, with requirements like minium periods of feminising hornone treatment in order to level the playing field.
The purpose of my post was to ridicule California Dreamer's ludicrous assertion that Biden had "cancelled womans (sic) sports". Also, I'm still waiting to hear about the black supremacist at the DoJ.

Donald Trump will be able to say he has been absolved of any wrong doing. This is why I said from the outset it was a politically naïve move to impeach.

Minimum period of feminizing hormones still won't level the playing field  Someone born male will have significant physical advantages even after going on female hormones for years.
Higher level of sports? What about lower level? At any level in my book it is not ok for example a woman to get her ass kicked by a male. Sorry the only sex that will suffer here is the female sex!
Actually this subject is so fascinating that a separate thread is required  Btw as a heathen I am not coming at this topic from a religious nut POV. All this is simple science/Biology, I don't know why people let political correctness overrule common sense
I am all for creating a transgender category or open category for everyone, but I am not ok with transgender(male to female) competing as women against biological women.

OK, I know this is not directly about Biden, so! | Quote: |  | | | Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell desperately trying to return the GOP to normality has released a pointed statement calling looney lies and conspiracy theories that have been espoused by freshman lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) a "cancer for the Republican Party.
While McConnell did not name Greene directly, his statement stands as a scathing rebuke of the freshman Republican House member. | | | | | | Quote: |  | | | In a separate statement, he expressed support for Republican Rep. Liz Cheney's vote to impeach President Donald Trump as some Trump loyalists seek to remove her from leadership.
"Liz Cheney is a leader with deep convictions and the courage to act on them," McConnell said. | | | | | I assume McConnell hates Trump for losing the Senate and for changing his GOP into a party driven by lies and weird theories so far from its original course.
My key question is will the GOP tear itself apart or will fear of Trump hold them together, as often posted before; "you could not make this stuff up".
