You didn't have any problem though when 100% of the nanny Democrats voted for government interference of the private healthcare system in the way of a massively, bloated bureaucratic legislation, Obamacare. Did you? On the other hand, this bill does not involve a big, bureaucratic bloat or interference. It simply clarifies Title IX's definition of sex. As I said, long overdue. The bill if passed into law would only change Title IX's definition of sex to one "based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth." Hardly an overreach of big government interference by the Republicans. Keeping sports fair and competitive for females is not an overreach of government nor is it inference. It simply clarifies that a person's biology and genetics are determined at birth. IOW, sports for FEMALES are determined by biology and genetics during their births.
I thought the Democrats were the champions of women rights. Then they suddenly forgot how to define a "woman".
Lol, buddy, I voted Libertarian in the last two elections. You aren't just barking up the wrong tree, but you aren't even in the right forest. Meanwhile, you appear to be just as big government as the far left is. I disagree with your support of big government policing.
They never really cared about their pet groups; women being one of them. They use women as pawns to pander for votes. Just like they do their other pet groups. I know that's a loaded statement but after having been a Democrat woman for over thirty years, I know what I am talking about. Hillary Clinton is for Hillary Clinton, and not for women at all. (there's another thread if there ever was one) Just like womens' abortion rights being returned to the states by the Dobb's decision isn't really about the Supreme Court wanting to end abortion rights. The Democrats aren't going to tell the voters the truth though. They'll lie to the people and tell them the conservative majority on the SC wants to take their abortions away, deleting Women's rights. It's a lie. One of the reasons I finally figured out the Democratic Party's games deciding to leave their donkey poo in the dust. This legislation is one of these times where they out themselves as anti-women.
Oh I completely agree that boys and men after puberty shouldn’t play on sports teams with girls and women unless that have started on hormone blockers. I simply disagree that Republicans “have their back” The bill is bad for a few reasons, it is trying to make this a federal issue when it should be a state issue — you small government states rights people always crack me up — and it doesn’t make any leeway for interssexed individuals.
You are the one cheering sports participants now being a federal issue. Don’t worry, none of the “small government” conservatives have anyone fooled.
Instead of just saying, the Republicans got something right here, he's muddying the waters, tossing it at the wall and hoping his accusation that the Republicans are acting like big government bureaucrats will stick. I don't get anyone being this partisan that they simply cannot say that the Republicans are correct for protecting women sports for biological females only by changing the language in Title IX.
Here's where you are wrong. I am not a Republican. Furthermore, I have always championed womens' rights, and am for government that protects individual rights. The SC said Roe was on shakey ground, and Dobb's proved it. They did the right thing to return it to the states. That doesn't mean "I" or "y'all" won't have Womens' backs under any circumstance. Are there some red states who are backwards on abortion? Yes, but why not just say that instead of painting us all with the same brush? All said, this doesn't change the fact that your last post was also a pointed, vile personal attack toward "y'all", and a disgusting insult toward many who support the Republican bill, even if symbolic in nature only. Oh, the deliberate swipe at Christians was a nice touch too. Got anything else? Maybe you could start over and leave the insults out.
“Small government” LOL It’s fascinating watching y’all justify the federal government saying who is barred from sports teams but think the states should be the ones determining healthcare
And that's where we part ways. I prefer small government and less federal interference in social matters, and you prefer more, at least when it suits your social conservatism and forcing said views on others. I don't know how to reconcile that. We have drastically different philosophies in that regard.
LOL, "y'all" don't know? Obviously, some don't know the difference between Title IX and federalism or are really trying to muddy the waters.
Edited Post below: Kindly stop mangling what I believe. You have skirted what I wrote above to further insult me, btw. No where did I indicate that I prefer the above. I am not a social conservative so stop lying. Social conservatives do not believe in freedom. I already told you that I am for government protecting individual rights. Like the right of straight kids to use bathrooms without being forced to share them with Transgenders, who could very well use the bathroom of their biological sex or bathrooms specifying for all to use. I'm not trying to take transgenders rights from them. This is common sense stuff the Democrats are muddling to win votes. The Republicans got it right to protect the rights of biological FEMALES who play sports. Nobody is trying to take the rights of transgenders from them. That's a lie the freedom robbing authoritarian progressive Democrats are trying to promote simply because they use trans, another of their pawns, to pander for votes and power. Good day. Consider it a win on your behalf. I won't be insulted by you any longer.
I don't understand how some are having a problem with this. Prior to the rise of transgenderism in being acceptable, the laws against sexual discrimination were meant to protect women. If you blur the lines between the sexes, then that protection is null and void. An employer can hire a man over a woman on the basis that the man might become a woman. There's no discrimination at all.
I understand it. They don't like the fact that the Republicans gained a whole ton of respect from women across the U.S. of all ages. (Generally speaking, The Democrats' voting bloc) It won't be passed but it DOES MATTER, and they don't like it, hence why some leftist partisans are attempting to muddy waters. This bill would protect biological females who play High School sports. If a school receives federal funding, they have to abide by their rules. Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government. The Republicans chose to clarify and solidify the language by amending it to say: to recognize sex as that which is “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
So, you are not all in on “women’s rights?” You prefer that men take over in dominating women’s sports programs.
So you don't care that girls will be dominated by boys saying they're girls and men saying they're women? You understand if you put a limit on it, like, "on puberty blockers for X years...", YOU ARE HOMOPHOBIC!!!! A Trans kid or Trans adult is whatever the say they are the second they say it. Biology, drugs, life style, IRRELEVANT!!!! You either agree that you are whatever you say you are at that moment, OR, you're a Transphobe....according to Leftists. The Right didn't make the rule. YOU guys did. Its just funny when their ever changing rules bite you in the ass=) Hard to rationalize with those who can't understand reason. And hard to be supportive of those who are clinically insane and will turn on you in a second, because they're clinically insane. Oh just wait until NAMBLA gains more power and they WILL. MAPs are gaining traction by the day and demanding a seat at the table. Slow in-roads trying to be accepted by the Alphabet community. People who believe that age is subjective are also making in-roads. They're using the exact same argument as the Trans community and if the Left wants to be consistent, they'll have to accept them sooner or later. They certainly can't claim THEY'RE the crazy ones, while a dude in a dress and makeup saying he's a woman is perfectly sane=) It'll be quite amusing Democrats suddenly drawing a line in the sand where they feel its just too far, hehe.
