  1. I identify as an NFL linebacker who gets millions of dollars . Now, make the necessary changes to accommodate my smaller, physically weaker stature, and also don’t touch my female body without my permission😜

  2. It’s discriminatory that someone like me doesn’t get a multiplier in order to assure equality of outcome. If my multiplier was 25, then if I lift 40 pounds I should be credited with a power lift of 1000 pounds.

    Watch out, Bad Brad – I’m coming to a lifting competition near you.

  3. I too encourage the Minnesota AG to make this horseshit into front page news. It is only by exposing what is going on in the shadows that this nonsense will be recognized for the nonsense that it is.

  4. This congresscritter’s quest only appears stupid if you are oblivious to her goals: to make the USA dysfunctional and ripe for takeover. (does “submission” ring a bell?)

    If you want an image of the future, imagine a Somali Muslim Congresswoman who is married to her brother demanding that women be forced to compete with biological men in a bench press competition …. FOREVER!!

    I, for one, welcome our new, bearded overlords. (maybe this list of feminist, gay loving, G-d free, ancien régime — that conservatives avert their eyes from, like vampires and a cross — will, finally, find some use.)

  7. Y’all may get tired of this, but I’m gonna bring it up anyway.

    Do away with the “Men’s” and “Women’s” team categories and replace them with “XY” and “XX” respectively. Do a quick DNA test to assign athletes to the appropriate team.

    “We’ll be happy to use whatever pronoun you like, Ma’am or Sir (as the case may be), and we hope you’re happy with your chosen gender du jour. But whatever your chosen gender is at any particular moment is not relevant to the way we assign teams. If your chromosomes change, get back to us and we’ll see about reassignment. Oops! Sorry! That’s team reassignment, not surgical reassignment.”

    > Do away with the “Men’s” and “Women’s” team categories and replace them with “XY” and “XX” respectively.

    I’ll sign on.

    Just as soon as you get “them” to make it universal. I can set up an “everybody’s welcome: compete amongst yourselves” team. For anything. For everything. I can set up an “only XX: compete amongst yourselves” team. For anything. For everything. I can set up a “no XX: compete amongst yourselves” team. For anything. For everything.

    Open to “everyone” — when “we” want in? Exclusive to “someone” — when “we” can’t win? Good luck with that.

    > She’s a hard core muzzy and will do anything she can to destroy the fabric of our society.

    Not “ours”. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

  10. Won’t discuss marrying her brother “or being OK with ‘Clitoridectomy'” but opposed against it due to her beliefs in Syrian Law. Wow, another great elected US Representative ‘she’ is?
    If only the ‘supposed journalists’ asked and reported her thoughts about ‘addadictomy’,,,
    USA Powerlifting, being such a national sport, just let it go neutral. Might get a better following interest.
