    Well, it doesn't because what you propose is a false equivalency. Females born females competing on male teams is not the same at transgendered males, males who think they're females, competing on female teams.

    I do not care if they are trans or not, we are talking gender here, this was not a trans bill, it's a gender bill

    and it should say one gender is not allowed to join the other genders sports teams

    not just boys can't join girls teams, it should also include girls joining boys teams

    Wrong! You're rewriting the actual bill that was passed by the House.
    That won't cut it.

    House Republicans approved their measure to restrict transgender students from playing on women’s sports teams on a 219-203 vote Thursday morning.

    Actually we should include wording that protects boys and girls. The military conducted a study not to long ago that showed women wanting to pretend they were men....eventually had a fitness advantage over men because of the hormones they took.

    It's better to acknowledge legally...that you can not pretend you are something you aren't and expect everyone else to pretend with you. .

    Depends on the hormones...its just easier for boys pretending to be girls to promptly win. Girls pretending they are boys have the benefit of as much testosterone as they need. With enough time problems will arise in both boy and girl sports.

    quote the part of the bill that says this only applies to "trans"

    do not even see the word in the bill

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/251/text

    in fact it, specifically, would leave out Trans Boys and Men

    Liberals can no longer claim to support women’s rights. Now they are condoning men depriving women from achieving goals they’ve been working to achieve most of their life.

    Why not just apply the same “handicap” qualifications to general sports as they do for the Paralympics? That way no matter what sex/disability/enablement you are you have the same chance?

    This is the post you are referring to: what sports are girls sports? is football and boys sport? Sorry your post was written the way it was which asks the question is football AND boys sport? Perhaps you rushed through an edit, but seems fishy here.

    Football is a sport. One which girls can certainly play. Do you disagree? If you believe that there are sports better suited because of gender, well, you're failing to support your team's talking points. how novel....

    How do you poison a bill simply preventing men from playing in women's sports? This has been common decency since forever and unchallenged until the past few years when Leftists went INSANE!!!. Whoops. I used the phrase common "DECENCY". That **** is out the window now.

    What's there to protect in men's sports? Think you answered your own question. Women can attempt to compete any time they want, but since they know its pointless, they don't bother. You understand this right? Don't need to protect something that isn't in danger. Men don't CARE if women want to compete because it doesn't matter. If it was just sports, you'd barely see a female face except in maybe Golf or Bowling or possibly Ping Pong. Otherwise, men dominate for obvious reasons that shouldn't need explanation. And if you still need it explained again for the 1000X time, there's just no hope for you.

    There is a video out there showing a boys middle school team playing the women's Australian soccer national team. Let's just say the women got drubbed...

    gee, so many bills are poisoned by adding amendments to them, that was a comment early on, before we saw the bill

    why only boys can't play girls sports, why not girls can not play boys sports?

    should boys be forced to tackle girls, be rough with them? why do republicans support that?

    It was a joke, get over it. But it does ask a salient question for those of you on the left.

    Big government nanny state "conservativism" strikes again. This will fail, though.

    So you're purposely not getting it eh? Where are all the girls DEMANDING they compete against boys and where are all the boys DEMANDING its not fair? You understand the bill is solving an actual PROBLEM, not creating one, like your example? Yours is a STRAWMAN. The actual bill is NOT.
