[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two daughters who play sports. One (my high schooler)  even plays on a tennis team and regularly plays against boy players. I am not concerned one iota about her losing out on a scholarship to a boy.

I am also not concerned in the least bit about being going to a public restroom and being attacked by a trans woman. I also am not concerned about my daughters going to a public restroom and being attacked by a transwoman.[/quote]

OP here.  Let clarify, I’m not insinuating that a trans woman  will attack domeonebin the bathroom.  I’m asking does the bill allow any man( who is not trans, not dressed as a man in any way) say I will use the women’s  bathroom because I identify as such?  I am not a lawyer and I interpreted it to mean this way, but I’m hoping that someone can clarify if that’s not the case.  Here’s the bill:[url] https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5[/url]

This is the  line which seems to make it  a catch all:

“Specifically, the bill defines and includes sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity among the prohibited categories of discrimination or segregation.“

OP, can you tell us the specific scenario you're concerned about?[/quote]

OP here.  The most common scenario being thrown  out there is that any man will now be able to say, I identify as a woman (with this  bill), and use the women’s bathroom.  My issue is that this seem to make it easier for pedos/pervs(NOT TRANS) to abuse the bill.

The other is the issue where trans competes in Women’s sports competition, there are reports /studies that trans women may have the edge compared to biological women  [b]due to testosterone([/b] see nbc link on the previous post), if this is the  case, then it seems it might sideline biological women.  I think further studies  are being done about this and that it  is recommended that the testosterone level be measured before being allowed in.

These are the  top 2 that I can think of, I’m not sure about other issues but these 2 seem to stand out to  me. [/quote]

The advantages men have over women in sports are not just related to testosterone. It's also the way their frame is different, for example - hips parallel for efficient running vs wider for child birth.[/quote]
