Popular Post Eldorado Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post #1 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) The Republican governor of Mississippi has signed an act banning transgender women from participating in competitive sports. It is the first state bill of its kind in the US this year, though 10 other states have similar legislation in process. “I never imagined dealing with this, but POTUS left us no choice. One of his first acts was to sign an EO encouraging transgenderism in children,” Tate Reeves tweeted. “So today, I proudly signed the Mississippi Fairness Act to ensure young girls are not forced to compete against biological males.” MSN NBC "Mississippi Fairness Act." state.ms.us Edited March 11, 2021 by Eldorado 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he's referring to biological males who now claim to be women so they can beat up on biological women in sports. Pretty cowardly if you ask me and it should definitely be against the rules. I mean unless you hate women who want to compete in sports. 10 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hyperionxvii Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post #4 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Let me ask anyone who disagrees with me on this. We have went so far as to ban steroids in sports to stop people from gaining unfair advantages in competition. But it's OK, as a biological male, who will have many times the level of testosterone in their body, no matter how many hormones they take, compared to a woman, no matter how much testosterone she tries to pump into her body, and that's fair? I mean get serious. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted March 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2021 There are many outrageous examples of biological males using their physical advantages to beat females in their own sports. Seems like the only complaint the opponents here could lodge was about something that MIGHT occur. Alphonso David, president of Human Rights Campaign, the LGBT+ civil rights organisation, said in a statement on Thursday that the Mississippi law could lead to more bullying of transgender people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hyperionxvii Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post #6 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) If this OK, then why don't we have women playing in the NFL? I guess as long as we can make the pregnant women's uniforms fit better, then it's OK? I'm way past sick of this stupidity. If my daughter was playing sports and there's some dude out there beating up on her, he'd better get ready to man up and get some roughing up.

Imagine having a daughter who has worked hard, practiced diligently, and done everything she was told could lead to a scholarship. She's been seen by coaches from colleges, has a real chance for a free ride worth 10s of 1000s of dollars in scholarship money, then political BS like THIS gets thrown into the calculus and she loses her well-deserved chance for some guy who's done little if anything to deserve a scholarship. THAT is what Biden's order causes. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess it seems like it would be ok for women who become men to compete with men in sports? Is it okay? Under this new EO, yes, the men's teams would be required to allow it. From what I've seen of this controversy, that hasn't been a problem for young male athletes who are competing for valuable scholarships. Care to guess, why? This is about BIOLOGY, not politics, hate or "transphobia" It's about basic fairness for female youth who are being literally robbed of valuable scholarships by lackluster male athletes who are willing to use their biology to their advantage while claiming that biology is some kind of "mistake". Here is the perfect example of this issue: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4389760/USA-women-s-team-suffer-5-2-loss-FC-Dallas-U-15-boys.html 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't about some kind of lottery where you just buy a ticket and hope for the best. These kids work their asses off for the chance, then have someone come along who outclasses them physically before they even begin putting in the effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, you are talking to a guy that is thinking of sending his kid to Europe for college because it would be cheaper and I wouldn't be saddling him with student debt for the rest of his life. The thought of being forced to show a daughter off like a horse to get some meager amount of money for schooling just seems wrong to me. But hey, it's our system. Edit to add: now that you mention scholarships, I can understand why there would be a financial incentive for people to pose as transgender just to get a better shot at that money and education.

Gromdor Posted March 11, 2021 #17 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It also makes me wonder.. Does this mean that a trans-man. I.E. a biological woman that has undergone hormone therapy and surgery would be required to to compete in the women's league? Will they have to use female dressing rooms/restrooms? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan max2 Posted March 11, 2021 #20 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Good. So we don't have stuff like this happening. Transgender MMA fighter breaking the skull of her opponent. Men transitioning to woman have too much of an unfair advantage because the body still retains alot of the male features. https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/transgender-fighter-who-broke-females-skull-bravest-athlete-in-history/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been an insane amount of regards being broke by transwoman in sports. Because it's just an unfair advantage. Plus more injuries to the woman. It's just not fair or as safe. Woman should be able to compete in equal competition. It might get shot down in the courts thought by claiming it's discrimination.

+Desertrat56 Posted March 12, 2021 #24 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Depending on the sport, I think some women can compete with men. When I was in the army we had to run 2 1/2 miles every day (in army boots) and some of the women could out run all the men in our platoon. I could run longer than a lot of the men in the platoon, but I was not a speed runner so I am sure I could not beat most of them in a race. My neice was a flag bearer when she was in basic training and she was a woman who could out run most men. That flag is heavy and she had no problem carrying it and keeping pace. But weight lifting or U.S. football are things women should not even try to compete with men. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
