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.


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.


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.


Uh, cuz he got a lot of votes? Dems obsess about preserving “the democracy” but then throw a tantrum when their person doesn’t win. Then they call Republicans idiots.

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).


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

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4936727-trump-bans-transgender-athletes/amp/



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?


We shall see.

A ban on transwomen in women’s sports would be wildly popular. Trump has a very good sense of what is popular.

At a minimum he is going to yank the ridiculous Title 9 changes pushed by Biden (I will never forget the life of me understand why Biden did that in an election year). But I think Trump’s EO will go further.

You clearly have no idea how universally loathed the Democratic position on this issue is.

Dems are already realigning. A few Dem politicians have already denouncing bathroom gender neutrality, and in regards to migrant welfare, NYC has announced they’ll stop the debit card program to illegal immigrants. No more 13,000 dollars in food stamp give always. They know the fed government is going to defund it all in a few months.

Things are already moving quickly and fast. Trump will hopefully end the wars just as fast. You must admit he has a way of getting people in line.

A Harris and Walz administration would’ve been four long years of the Biden administration part 2. Americans do not want that


So you admit he won’t do anything about transgenders. Got it lol.


biden did a great job! america really embraced these people



I sincerely want to know, how did these people affect your life? and not only that, how did they affect it so badly, that anything else paled by comparison?


Idiot, it’s the foot-in-the-door syndrome. A few decades ago, the gay rights movement consisted of humble pleas to allow them to do what they wanted “in the privacy of [their] own bedrooms.” Fast-forward a few decades & people are getting fired for using the wrong pronoun. The Left’s lunacy has no limits, & it’s easier to stop it when it’s beginning rather than when it gets to the full drag-queens-in-elementary-schools stage.

Modern Americans are obese and sickly and will have much shorter life span, but sure let’s focus on gender bathrooms.

I don't think for most of us the main objection is the trans advantage in women's sports. I'm a teacher and for several years now we've been counseled against saying boys and girls in favor of more "gender inclusive" language. When visiting colleges with my daughters, the presenters would always begin by announcing their pronouns.

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.




Wait, so you’re alienated by adding pronouns to social media so others are clear on what you want to be called vs the rise in hate speech that’s being allowed and encouraged?


It’s a national refusal to play pretend with mentally ill people anymore. I have no problem with trans people in general. Unfortunately they’re already a fringe community that was then plagued with an even more fringe community of mentally unstable people seeking a place in society. I’ve seen countless trans individuals express their frustration with the situation.

The fact that you think people are caring about this will be this admin's undoing. The election was about inflation and your head will spin at how fast things will turn against you.

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).


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?


We shall see.

A ban on transwomen in women’s sports would be wildly popular. Trump has a very good sense of what is popular.

At a minimum he is going to yank the ridiculous Title 9 changes pushed by Biden (I will never forget the life of me understand why Biden did that in an election year). But I think Trump’s EO will go further.

You clearly have no idea how universally loathed the Democratic position on this issue is.


The fact that you think people are caring about this will be this admin's undoing. The election was about inflation and your head will spin at how fast things will turn against you.



The election was about two things: inflation AND social issues.

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.


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.


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.

I don't think for most of us the main objection is the trans advantage in women's sports. I'm a teacher and for several years now we've been counseled against saying boys and girls in favor of more "gender inclusive" language. When visiting colleges with my daughters, the presenters would always begin by announcing their pronouns.

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.




Wait, so you’re alienated by adding pronouns to social media so others are clear on what you want to be called vs the rise in hate speech that’s being allowed and encouraged?


It’s a national refusal to play pretend with mentally ill people anymore. I have no problem with trans people in general. Unfortunately they’re already a fringe community that was then plagued with an even more fringe community of mentally unstable people seeking a place in society. I’ve seen countless trans individuals express their frustration with the situation.



The frustration is real. I am a libertarian-leaning republican and I personally don’t care what adults do / how they want to dress / who they date or marry, etc.

But a good friend, who is a gay man, told me how frustrated he is after recently re-joining the online dating community. Not sure which dating site he tired (might have been grinder or tinder? I do not recall), but:

- the site refuses to “discriminate on biological sex.” Therefore, my friend ended up initially communicating with a biological WOMAN who identifies as male.

He only wants to date men! What’s wrong with that?

Why can’t my gay male friend choose to meet only other biological men?

It’s ridiculous. And it’s an outgrowth of the whole “woke movement” nonsense which Kamala Harris spoke about publicly, and backed fully.

“I sincerely want to know, how did these people affect your life? “

Because #1 it is a lie to say a trans-woman is a woman, which is an insult to real women, and #2 portraying perversion and abnormality as something normal, even to be proud of, is offensive and corrupts the minds of children who may not know that this is wrong.

The problem is that in the eugenics moment it was the white women who were deemed feebleminded and housed in institutions. I don’t think the “mentally unstable” slippery slope is one women should be so eager to jump on.

How do you square the things coming out of the proud boy’s mouth not being offensive to children? You hold some rando as having more influence than the president? Wow. I would live to live in your mind for a hot minute to see how the wheels turn.

So you take that up with Grinder, a privately run company. But you don't elect a sexual assaulter, convicted felon, lying grifter to run our country because his dating app experience isn't up to snuff. And the Dems are supposed to be so out of touch?? Good lord. Your skins are so razor thin.

You seem pretty deeply in denial. The most effective campaign ads of the entire campaign were Trump’s “they/them” ads.

Inflation was a huge issue, yes. But this election wasn’t just about inflation. It was also about social issues, and the Democratic position on a lot of social issues is widely hated. Not just trans, but state suppression of speech, insertion of the state into the parent-child relationship, compelled speech, etc. DEI is perceived as anti-working-class. Border policies.

The Democrats have never said no to the extreme left on social issues. They mistakenly let extremists guide them, rather than listening to where the country actually was.

I mean, the Democrats pretty much are objectively out of touch. That seems pretty incontrovertible at this point, yes?
