It’s moved well beyond “empathy” when we are asked to allow biological male bodies on our girls’ sports team and into their restrooms.

I'm far more worried about hetero men around me and my daughter than any trans person.

And this is just not happening -men in women's bathrooms and teams- on any significant level. And even it if were, it could be handled to find a solution that wasn't demonizing people and without cruelty. But as usual, MAGA is not capable of that.

Do you never use a unisex bathroom, btw?

This! I have two teenage daughters, one in college. After seeing the signs at that Texas Tech demonstration I fear for my daughter’s safety as well. All the extreme sexist macho bros will feel comfortable coming out and denigrating women now, more than ever. Yet, there will still be some females, who are brainwashed enough, that will entertain their advances. I told my daughters to never feel the pressure to give me grandchildren. No need to marry a looser just because the clock is ticking.

Do you not understand that when you take female spaces like restrooms away from us, you make bathrooms less safe BECAUSE of the actions of heterosexual men? That’s the whole issue. A man in women’s room used to be a reason to call the police. Now a woman feels that she has to bury her discomfort and keep quiet even at the risk of her physical safety. People aren’t fearing trans individuals, they fear men using the access to female spaces like prisons and restrooms to harm them.

Call the police? Just stop. I have multiple kids in college and the bathrooms are not separated male and female. Like none of them. There are some that are just singles if you require that. No one is calling the police. What a load of utter crap.

I don't know what college your kids go to, but I am on different college campuses every weekend, and they all have separate restrooms. Stop lying. My college kids hate the gender identity madness, most normal Americans do.

Why would I stop?
Step into any public school and you will see girl and boy bathrooms. Don’t gaslight.

Everything will be the same as the last term around.

In about 4 years they will wake up and realize that while we don’t have men in women’s lockers, their personal lives did not get better- while rich got richer, they are still poor and uneducated and probably many of them jobless because they were replaced by robots and they can’t adopt their insulin shots.

Let’s just wait. History repeats itself.

This is the kind of shift that most Americans find deeply troubling and quite frankly inane. This is our society, our culture, what the left is trying to push on us as normal. It's not just conservative that are fed up with this. It's really the norm among the majority although people are reluctant to speak openly about it. I know quite a few left leaning if not liberal people who have grumbled about feeling like they now need to add their pronouns to their work emails. Even my college daughter who is definitely a democrat says she feels like she needs to add her pronouns to her socials even though she thinks it's rather silly. I truly don't think the left realizes how much this stuff has alienated the majority of Americans.

The pronouns? The pronouns?

A Trump in my family supporter is an
- obese person
- with a slew of health conditions
- working a low wage job
- uneducated
- doesn’t have retirement savings
- $6K in credit card debt
- can’t afford kids’ college
- can’t afford a house
- unprotected from layoffs and on a verge of being replaced by AI and losing healthcare coverage
- always on the verge of medical bankruptcy
- unprotected from the fallout of climate change

But the main problem is the pronouns?

Not lack of affordable education, not lack of affordable healthcare, not better quality food, not protecting environment from poisoning, not lack of upward mobility, none of that.. The pronouns!

Do they look at themselves in the mirror and think the biggest problem for me is the gender ambiguity? Or the biggest problem for me is that Mexican next door that goes to ER for free?

For some people it might be the main problem, for others it was one of many problems voters had with the democrats.

Well now, lack of affordable healthcare, unaffordable colleges, expensive, crappy, processed, preservative laden garbage food, inability to afford a house and rents too expensive, homeowners unable to get their homes insured because of climate change, corporate monopolies, falling prey to identity theft, phone and email scams, predatory lenders, all of that is now the problem they need to reconcile with Republicans because Democrats are now irrelevant and out of the picture. And it will get worse. If they can barely afford to treat themselves for a dinner out now, just wait til Jose and Carlos and most of the kitchen staff get deported and it gets a whole lot more expensive. If they can't afford housing now, just wait til half of the construction crews are gone. If the stuff they buy at Walmart is getting expensive now, just wait til Trump's tariffs hit and the prices double. But hey at least they won their dumb pronoun battle.

Those are the "many problems" that the Trump voters will absolutely need to accept ownership of. You won, there's no more Democrat blaming you can do.

I'll tell you what, I will pay a little more for my Walmart purchases if it means that more of it was produced in America and Americans are working for living wages instead of illegal immigrants working for pennies on the dollar and deflating wages across the board.

The border was controlled four years ago. Trump’s inflation rate was under two percent - Biden’s hit 8 percent and prices have been up since then. You’re welcome to transition this discussion away from the failures of the left to force our culture into crazy land, but you’ll lose that debate too.

It absolutely is happening at a significant level. Look at the boycotts of collegiate women, willing to lose games rather than risk their safety playing against male bodies. Look at the firing of the coaches speaking up for their female players. Look at the two winners of the female boxing category at the Olympics. You can bury your head in the sand or you can open your eyes.

I have college athletes on my own and I've been to countless athletic events in college and elsewhere. This is not a thing. Youth sports, college sports, high school sports. They are rolling along as the billion dollar business that they are . relax

The left always starts with denial before moving to “it’s not happening at all significant level” to “it’s happening and it’s a good thing”.

Tell the San Jose state volleyball team that they didn’t boycott a game for fear of their safety. Tell the coach that she wasn’t suspended - well actually, address the title ix lawsuit she just fired. Her name is Melissa Smoose.

According to the UN report, "Violence Against Women and Girls in Sports," transgender athletes have won around 900 medals in different women's sports at several events, replacing female athletes.

Lucky ass. We've got enough problems locked down that we get to put all our energy into college volleyball. Awesome!.

This.

It gets even more dangerous in girl sports.

The thing is that it won’t be a “little more”. For poor Americans it might mean they will beome homeless and qualify for social services. (Socialism). But, we just all have to pull ourselves up with our bootstraps.

Complete inability to see how change happens. It's okay if just a few women are discriminated against, right? It's not happening that much? Just volleyball. Don't you see what that signifies? We are so close to eliminating the rights women were provided by Title IX that it's frightening. Those rights are far more at risk than "reproductive rights," but this election and young women on the left have reduced us all to our uteruses. The issues are far greater than a few men in the women's locker room or playing on volleyball teams--but these are the signs and people like you are choosing to ignore them so you can look virtuous. Erasing women is not a virtue.

Except those people will be able to have jobs with living wages.

Trump rode on Obama’s coat tails for the first years of his presidency. Biden was able to hold inflation from skyrocketing after the pandemic. Let’s see how Trump deals with all the price hikes after he imposes those tariffs. Ask the farmers how it be tariffs worked out last time.
