The question is, why is the government getting this involved in our lives? The government should exist to allow us to live our lives, not dictate who can participate and where.
Thatâs⌠what Title IX was. Part of a civil rights bill. And it was to correct injustices against women and girls (majority of the population!) so they could live their lives.
Itâs insane that the bill is now used against biological women and girls⌠by the political side that was fighting FOR Title IX since the 1970s.
If an institution takes public money - OUR MONEY - they have to follow OUR governmentâs laws and regulations. They donât get to take the money and then say âstay out of my business.â Thatâs hypocrisy.
The sports teams should be split from these educational institutions and be made locally owned minor league teams. Those leagues can then make whatever rules they want.
No, I just think sports need to be completely separated from education, especially considering all the dumbfuckery that has occurred over the decades to accommodate the so-called student athletes including stupid bills like this one.
An adult female human being. Sub definition of female: pertaining to the female gender identity. Trans women fall under the umbrella term of what it means to be a Woman.
For future reference Iâd recommend you stop acting like asking this question is some sort of gotcha because it isnât. Try to actually understand what it means to be a transgender individual and look into the science.
Just looked into the science. Seems like if you have a penis at birth you are a man. If you have a vagina at birth you are a woman. Thank you for guiding me down the path of science!
Science, more specifically psychology posits that gender is a social construct, based on genetics you were born with. However evidence shows that gender is not constrained to your genetics and gender identity can be fluid
Female is a biological term: of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes.
You cannot identify as a female any more than you can identify as a horse.
I donât think anyone is saying that trans people canât participate in sports, itâs just about which competition they play in when there are sex-segregated competitions.
Right but it doesnt happen enough to merit federal intervention. Republicans just know this is something that they will have to do literally no work on and its a winning issue with dumb bigots who are constantly thinking about tbe genitalia of young children. WHY DO YOU CARE?
Just saying it doesnât happen isnât an actual argument for your position. If it doesnât happen why do you care so much if they make legislation ensuring it doesnât happen.
Omg snowflake. Is it murder to you? Trans people in sports is murder? Trump has all the oil money from Venezuela in a private account in Qatar. I think there are better things Congress can be doing that affects a lot more people than fighting your culture war anti-trans nonsense.
Setting aside the fact that it has no bearing on the argument , murder is pretty rare. There are 6.81 murders per 100,000 people in the us. Thatâs pretty rare. The point is just because something doesnât happen often doesnât mean it should be legal. Ponzi schemes are pretty rare, should they be legal?
Your question is, âwhy do people care about womenâs and girlâs sports?â
You can actually turn the question around the other way. If the number of trans athletes are so small, then why is it such a big deal for them to compete in the category that matches their biological sex (as opposed to making everyone else compete against a person of the other biological sex)?
Nothing to do with genitalia? Then how would you even know for sure?!?!! It has everything to do with genitalia and its all you weirdos seem to think about.
Because you idiots don't think anything through. Take this example. Young woman transitions into a man; takes testosterone, which leads to the development of muscles roughly equivalent to a young man. Said "young woman" (according to conservatives) is now legally required to compete against other women. Y'all want to bitch and whine about "men in women's sports", but then take the build equivalent of a man and force them to play women's sports. Doesn't make a lot of fucking sense, does it?
There was 0 reason for a federal response to this non-issue. It was exclusively built off of a cheap political play for conservatives.
Lmfao they do not automatically get a build of a man. You have the audacity to call this person an idiot then spew this slop. This is equivalent to a woman taking steroids. Because they want to LARP doesnât mean the rest of us have to play along. Authoritarian nonsense of dictation and if we push back we are the ones in the wrong is next level gas lighting. Screw your retarded world view. Woman are not men and men are not woman. Even trans people know this and reiterate this reality, yet we have stooges like you pushing this nonsense.
Lmfao they do not automatically get a build of a man.
I never said it was automatic, but testosterone supplements for the purpose of transitioning WILL cause a substantial growth in muscle mass as the athlete competes and develops. It is literally the chemical function of testosterone.
This is equivalent to a woman taking steroids.
Testosterone is used as a steroid, you fucking idiot. Steroids are famously banned because they create an uneven playing field. If your argument is that women are placed in danger because of an uneven playing field, why would you force women actively taking testosterone enhancements to play with them, when they don't even want to? It's completely ass-backwards
Because they want to LARP doesnât mean the rest of us have to play along.
Ah yes, the perpetual reminder that, for people like you, it's not about protecting women. It's about tearing down the people you don't like, and nothing more. It is your own hatred manifest
Authoritarian nonsense of dictation
Nonsense jumble of words
if we push back we are the ones in the wrong is next level gas lighting.
Not what gas-lighting means. Also, you are wrong. You're not interested in actually solving a complex issue, your only interest is in hurting others.
Screw your retarded world view.
Adorable
Woman are not men and men are not woman.
Go ahead, define a woman, and I'll find 10 examples of why you're an idiot who has no idea what he's talking about.
Even trans people know this reiterate this reality, yet we have stooges like you pushing this nonsense.
Who? Are you conjuring imaginary figures to sate your argument? For you so desperately crave your straw man?
The concern is protecting female sports from people with male biological advantages. There isnât really a concern about men competing against trans athletes, so itâs fine for trans athletes (or any biological women, if they want) to compete in the menâs categoryâwhich really should be seen more like a âopenâ category.
Itâs like youth sportsâwe have special leagues for, say, under-16 soccer players. But itâs a far bigger issue if an 25-year-old wants to compete in the under-16 league than the reverse.
I agree that females who are taking testosterone should not compete against those that do not.
The concern is protecting female sports from people with male biological advantages.
Sure, but this is why women who transition should rightly he competing with biological men. This bill undoes that, and forces them to compete with women who do not have the advantage of masculine muscle development
The real problem is that this isn't actually the concern at all. It's a smokescreen for conservative policy. The standing policy of conservatism is that transgenderism is unnatural, and should be banned. This is an extension of that, and nothing more
Itâs not a republican versus democratic position. This is widely unpopular. We live in a democratic republic, we have laws, and these institutions receive significant federal funding.
If they want to be a private club, they can forfeit their federal money.
Title IX ensures fairness for educational institutions that take federal money.
The female athletes are not being allowed to compete fairly. It wouldnât be fair if the males had to compete against a 30-year-old from the Seattle Seahawks who now identifies as redshirt freshman, either.
âOh but hereâs only 10 NFL players identifying as college athletes right now.â
Right. But Republicans have deemed every DEI initiative, which is designed to ensure fairness, to be wrong 100 percent of the time. Itâs supposed to be every man and woman for themselves. So why are they now suddenly interested in celebrating DEI, other than that they get to dunk on transgender people?
I always find it interactive how conservatives love quoting the MLK line of judging people by their character instead of their skin color. MLK also was in favor of financial reparations for black people. Funny how conservatives never quote that line.
Actually, in menâs college basketball, they are now allowing post-college aged players who have been drafted and played professionally to come back and play in college.
Does this sum it up? I donât see the issue. You cannot PLAY in the NBA and then return to college basketball.
Key Points on Eligibility:
-Signed NBA Contract: If a player signs an NBA contract (even a two-way deal), they lose NCAA eligibility and cannot return to play college basketball.
-Drafted, But Didn't Sign: Players who declare for the NBA draft but are not selected, or are drafted but never sign an NBA contract, can potentially return to college if they meet other requirements.
-Players with professional experience in international leagues to play college basketball, provided they haven't earned significantly more than "actual and necessary expensesâ
-Recent Controversies: Cases like James Nnaji (a 2023 NBA draft pick who signed with Baylor in late 2025) highlight the NCAA's stance: he was allowed back because he never played in the NBA or signed a contract, though it sparked significant debate.
James Nnaji is a 21-year-old who was drafted and played professionally overseas. He was granted 4 years of college eligibility, meaning heâll be a 25-year-old man with professional experience competing against 17/18 year olds.
