BP: The Democratic Party’s pro-transgender “Equality Act” would wreck women’s sports, says a Washington Post article by three liberal women, including former tennis champ Martina Navratilova.
“The [transgender] legislation would make it unlawful to differentiate among girls and women in sports on the basis of sex for any purpose,” says Navratilova, and Doriane Coleman, who is a law professor and a former elite track athlete, and Sanya Richards-Ross an NBC Sports analyst and four-time winner of Olympic gold medals. The authors continue:
For example, a sports team couldn’t treat a transgender woman differently from a woman who is not transgender on the grounds that the former is male-bodied. Yet the reality is that putting male- and female-bodied athletes together is co-ed or open sport. And in open sport, females lose.
Advocates of the Equality Act who know sports or aren’t science deniers make a different argument. They say that it’s time to shift our focus from supporting female-bodied athletes for whom Title IX has already done a lot of work, to supporting transgender women and girls who need our help more. Even if the legislation results in some females being displaced from the podium, they say, it’s enough that they get to participate.
The pending equality act has two halves.
One half of the act would outlaw distinctions between heterosexual and non-heterosexual people in hiring, housing, and other regulated practices.
The second half of the act would bar “discrimination” against people who claim to have the “gender identity” of an opposite-sex person. This part would implement the transgender ideology’s demand that the government forcefully prevent American women from recognizing the biological and civic differences or complementarity between men and women.
The act is backed by nearly all Democrats, including Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy who recently told Breitbart News on video that sports competitions are for “human beings,” not for just men or just women. read more
LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER
“Equality” only counts when it gives you the advantage.
Transgender ‘Equality Act’ – Hey, Joe Biden! Is THAT making America more ‘moral?’ It’s your party, twaddle.
Let’s just give them their own sports venue called “The Tranny Games” where they can have their own “Battle Of The Sexes”.
Psychological assistance for the mentally deranged, really fit segment of the population.
This is a hoot!
Unless you know a female that is an athletic competitor. Then it sort of sucks for both of you. But at least you know whom to thank!
This is such funny comeupance. Liberals are living a lie, and feminist useful idiots are destroying their lives.

Irresistible force, meet immovable object.
The Soviets/East Germans were just ahead of the times. Many of their “female” Olympians were accused of being males in drag in the ’50s and ’60s. The cutting edge of societal change is what they were on.
Men win again. Pretty soon, all sports will be dominated by men, even if sometimes those men have to claim identity as a female. Male police and firefighter candidates can allege they are really women trapped in men’s bodies, and soon our policemen and firemen will once again be men. So long as men don’t have to actually go through gender surgery and can frequent the strip clubs on their off time, I’m having a hard time seeing the downside to this.
…note to males who have had themselves mutilated…
YOU
ARE
NOT
WOMEN.
You are a deranged MAN who cut HIS penis off. This in NO WAY changes your DNA, your bone structure, your brain wiring, you muscle growth, your very senses of smell and sight…NOTHING.
You just have an open wound where your genitalia used to be. That’s IT.
No amount of hormonally screwing with your body chemistry is going to change that, either. You are coded a certain way, and you can’t POISON it away any more that you can CUT it away.
It is unfortunate that Democrats chose to use you as pawns and ensured that you would NEVER hear a message of sanity or a voice suggesting that maybe you should NOT cut anything off since it won’t change WHAT you are. To the extent you were a mentally ill man that was duped for political purposes and denied PROPER mental health counseling because you serve a liberal agenda better after mutilation, I sympathize with you.
But that’s where the sympathy ENDS.
You are NOT going to be allowed to supplant women, because you want to BE one. We LOVE our ACTUAL women too much to allow this, or to allow you to threaten them by insisting on being allowed into spaces where cameras are denied so they are locked IN with a person who is insane enough to believe that a woman is no more that appliances and make up, or to let you infect our children with your mental disease since YOU can never HAVE children.
BECAUSE YOU’RE A MAN.
Here, enjoy this posting I usually make when this subject comes up. It makes the point very nicely, and suffers not at ALL from the fact it was made 40 years ago, when it was STILL OK to point out how STUPID this all is…

There’ll have to be an AA for women who are really women in women’s sports.
Ya know, like getting points because you’re actually menstruating.
This is ABSURD! “Womens” sports undermines EQUALITY!
Trump can only win votes by using this as an election issue. Women that wouldn’t vote for Trump normally would move to him if he was the only thing stopping what could be played as the destruction of all women’s sports. Liberal men/women who have daughters would also think about moving to Trump if they felt their girls would be hurt by men/boys infiltrating their sports. The Dems are handing Trump and conservatives so many issues they can use to split off moderate Democrats you’d think the the DNC was run by Rush Limbaugh.
Pogo has it right. The Tranny games would fix everything. The Battle Of The Trannies on the wide wide world of sports. That would be kinky, and bring on a new line of $ports betting.
I’ll keep pushing my idea that sports associations/leagues ought to replace men’s and women’s divisions with XY and XX divisions. Call yourself whatever you want, but your chromosomes should dictate who who competes with whom.
Until the day Taylor Swift punches the living sh*t out of Joy Behar, just going to ignore this Transgender ‘Equality’ stuff.
No Offense,,,winks.
Who wouldn’t pay to see that one, huh?
What will Crazy Uncle Joey do when he finds out that the babe he’s been feeling up is as much a man as him (Physically)?

Oh, yeah. I’m sure all those deep thinking pussy hatters that rallied against him before he was in office, due to their deep strategery thinking, will see the advantage of re-evaluating “Orange Man Bad!”
If as Joe kennedy says Sports are not just for men or women. Then set upa third category for Transgender people. That is the fairest and easiest solution. Transgender people only compete against other transgenders
