Maine governor

MAGA't, the Title IX amendment requires that no one is prohibited from participating in educational activities (including sports) based on their gender (identities). So, the law you are quoting actually supports transgenders to participate in women's sports. Do a bit of actual research and ask actual lawyers (not your Orange god and his "yes man" lawyers)! |

When you lead a sad life, you may find enjoyment in seeing others get bullied. Donald was bullying - that is not bravery. People with courage do not punch down; they punch up. A bully tries to project power by threatening to withdraw love, financial support, or other benefits if the dependents do not follow their dictates. |

Right. So then you have the governor of Maine defying an EO to defend the grotesque spectacle of the track meet, in a state that is struggling financially. And the federal government is threatening to withdraw funds because of her defense of something that is extremely unpopular even in her own state. It makes the governor seem like a religious fanatic. Trump, who should be coming off as a horrible bully, is seen instead as protecting a struggling state and the girls in it from a religious extremist. As a lifelong Democrat, sometimes I think the party is doomed. This is not the behavior of any politician who wants to win an election. It is the behavior of a cult member who is willing to destroy the entire party on the altar of her cult beliefs. When you have someone as vile as Trump appear to be the one who is on the side of justice and fairness, you’ve lost the plot. |

+1 the first president in US history that had bullied Americans, not just politicians. He’s bullying federal workers, after a long list of bullying everyday Americans. That anyone can justify it is truly sad and miserable and should think about having higher standards. |

Truth hurts. Enforcing laws is not bullying. Biology is not bullying. Grow up. |

The amount of Dems who have MAGA beliefs and use MAGA tells is staggering. |

+1. Dems lost all critical thinking abilities. |

It’s not MAGA to want the Democrats to win again and soon. I know you are a cultist that would prefer the Democrats to lose perpetually so that high school girls can continue to stand beneath boys at track meets, but that is an extremist cult belief. |

Every time you say Dems are in a cult, it’s clear from your histrionics that you’re a cultish MAGA. |

Ha, there you go, a life-long democrat! A lifelong Democrat should find it grotesque to ignore the slaughter of children across the country to protect gun owners' rights. They should fight to change those laws. A true Democrat would not adopt right-wing framing by calling a transgender athlete winning a high school sport 'grotesque.' Do you know what else is grotesque when it comes to women's rights? Not having the freedom to make decisions about our own healthcare! |

She is enforcing Title IX. This is not about biology—it’s about individual rights. A transgender person has equal protection and rights under the law. I’m sorry that your thinking hasn’t evolved enough to recognize transgender people as human. |

EOs are NOT LAWS. How is that difficult for people to understand. They are mandates for the agency’s to carry out. So the Maine governor is following the law. In a situation like this, they’d wind up in court no matter what was done, so better to be following the law and be protecting kids. Not to mention the added benefit of being seen by Maine constituents has having a backbone. |

No. You can’t hide the truth. More and more sane Democrats see the facts here. That’s why Trump picked this issue to push on the issue of executive power, because maybe 1% of the entire country thinks what happened in the Maine track meet is fair and just. This is cult capture of the Democratic Party, just as there was cult capture of the Republican Party. Unfortunately for the Democrats, they picked a cult that is wildly unpopular, unlike the Republicans who at least had the good sense to back a cult that could win elections. The Democrats lost the election on this issue, and they are going to continue to lose badly until they eject the cultists that control the party. But I don’t see that happening, unfortunately. I wish common sense would prevail and the moderates would sideline the cultists, so the Democrats could win again, but so far it isn’t happening. |

Every time you double down, it’s obvious you’re lying. Dems aren’t this stupid about laws and the congressional/legal process, and even if they don’t care about this issue or are against it, they’re not anywhere as fearful and breathless as you. |

Winning is not everything. I want a country that is fair for everyone, regardless of gender, religion, or other beliefs. As a grown woman who has lost to men in many ways and who has no transgender child, I still firmly believe that all natural and legal rights should be equally accessible to all humans. I do not want my party or any other party to deviate from this fundamental belief just to win. Politics is not a sport; politicians should not enter politics merely to win. They should be driven by conviction and a commitment to making life better for all citizens. |
