Granny may long for 1950 when dark people knew their place, women stayed home, and LGTBQ people hid in the closet but we are not going back. Now is the time for action not despair. Resolve not regret. Fight forward through the sea of bigotry and fear. Be human, stay strong.
Do you consider teaching CRT as the truth and allowing males to play girls' sports "basic human empathy?"


Sigh. This is why Trump won. So much disinformation.

Our very progressive school district (Montgomery County, MD) does both. Many progressive schools districts do. You're either ill-informed or fibbing.


They aren’t teaching CRT.
How many transgender athletes at your local HS?


There’s a UN report that over 900 medals and opportunities have been lost by women to transgender athletes. It is going to be an issue.

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?


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.


When the UN is issuing reports about it, you know this isn’t a non-issue, no matter how the extreme left tries to gaslight.

Imagine getting your person elected then coming onto DCUM to talk about trans women still. It’s because they don’t think about anything else and they know DT won’t do anything about transgenders women in sports.

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


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.


The PP you are responding to is insufferable and posts all the time about her college athlete daughters who don’t care about transwomen. She probably thinks she is a good person, not the men’s rights activist and handmaiden she actually is, but she’s pretty unaware.

I know more Gen Z kids who voted anti-woke than I know millennials and Gen X. You don’t understand how much Gen Z despises woke.

Not if the 4B movement is successful!


4B is only going to create fewer crazy liberal parents. The normies will still have kids. Honestly I think 4B would be a win-win for the US overall.

Get a life. you're putting the entire country through hell over a non-issue


Not PP but this attitude is exactly why you lost the presidency and congress. Telling voters their concerns are a “non issue” is condescending and backfires.


But why don't you go and tell that to my niece who was raped and lost a year of college. Explain to her why this guy has to sit in the oval office and she's struggling to finish college. And there's plenty more like her. Way way more like her than trans athletes that ever stepped out on a field.


So sorry honey and sorry to the several hundred thousand others like you every single year. I know that was really brutal and disorienting and fundamentally altered your life, but San Jose State volleyball is more important. Suck it up Buttercup


What does this niece have to do with the San Jose volleyball players being told to risk their safety playing men?


Let’s see if Trump bans her. We all know she will continue to play and you will seethe. The rich liberals on this board will be talking about their extravagant trips to Europe on their tax savings and doubling home prices in DC while the Republicans continue to get fatter, need more healthcare that they can’t afford, and rage about the transgenders. The truth hurts.


The NCAA has entered an agreement that will basically roll back the clock for female athletes by decades. Biden wants to add men who think they're women into the coverage of this very much endangered law. But sure, go ahead and keep telling us it's just about one young man smashing the heads of female atheletes, so it's okay to just accept it.



Trump is the president in a couple of months. Tell me, when do you expect action on transgenders in sports? Please, by all means, give me a date or at least a time frame because I don’t think Trump is going to do it. I do think that he will give the DCUM crowd tax cuts to buy second homes and third luxury cars (he’s talking about being able to write-off interest on car purchases lol).


Well, the bolded is certainly true. You all are so fixated on your narrow-minded, single issues that you cannot see what they stand for. It's not about Trump banning men from womens' sports on day one. We're not idiots, despite the months of message that we are. It's about what this election brought to the fore: that the left has become far too extreme and that, in the context of this issue, women are being erased. And you are all kidding yourselves if you don't think this is a deliberate effort. Women being erased devalued by men acting as them is not a side-effect of the transactivist movement, it is a goal. You think electing Harris, first woman president, would have been a step for women. But the fact is, she was put in place by very powerful men who could not care less about women's rights. For goodness sake, they knew she had to have a man--a coach, hunter, gun-owner--by her side to make her "candidacy" even remotely palatable. Women on the left are just so obsessed with being the "good guys," standing up for others, and being virtuous that they can't see what is happening right in front of them. Stop focusing on the freedom to abort babies through full-term and look at the bigger picture of womens' rights.

Yes they are and you know it. It's not straight CRT but it is CRT influenced. "Equity" as it is being taught is the idea that outcomes not principles is what matters. That idea comes directly from CRT.

And yes there are one or two transgender athletes at many of the local schools.

The worst part about your response is that you know this.

Trump has said that he will prepare and sign an executive order immediately after he takes office.

LOL. I think sports will be the least of concerns, but ok. Are you sure it's not on the same timeline as the healthcare plan?
