in jr. high there was girl named JC Hurst, two years older than i

she wanted to play football and nobody had any issue with it. she beat out a bunch of dudes for a spot in the team and played significant minutes

there was also a girl that wanted to wrestle, and was allowed to do so

both cis women, both beat dudes out on the regular. nobody was bitching and moaning about giving them the opportunity

100 percent accurate. All transgender ideology is to democrats is a way to divide and conquer. And get votes. Convince the public if you support the transgender movement you are tolerant and understanding, and if you question it you are just a bigot

Democrat politicians love these topics that they know will split the population. We've seen this tactic repeatedly in recent years. And put people in a lose/lose situation

agree or not, right or wrong, this is the way these issues should be getting handled, imo
Because they realize a biological male has an obvious advantage and it's undermining women's sports

Well at some random junior high a talented woman is probably going to be better than the random dudes trying out after school activities

Also, women hit puberty at an early age. Middle school is the time when some of the boys she was competing against were in the early phases of puberty

That doesn't translate to adults and high level competition

Never mind that if republicans had any actual policy proposals to push, they could stop their unending bleating and whining claiming victimhood, and this "problem" would 99% go away.

But then, what would republicans have to talk about?

That's what I don't get about this obsession. It's the allegedly small federal government folks making the huge fuss about it.
hey now! I'm nowhere near this discussion!
You're not allegedly small gov, you actually are :)
To be fair, the Rs stopped really caring about small government a while ago. What they really want is a government that maintains a particular social order, even as demographics and prevailing attitudes evolve.

Funny, the economy is better than its been for a long time. Lowest ever unemployment. The cost of living rise is basically because Americans have money and demand is up. American materiel saved Ukraine and literally kicked Tucker Carlson's unwoke army's ass. Repeatedly. But Biden. Jeebus.

Do you believe that opposition to having biological males compete in sports (even combat sports) against biological women is motivated by fear of people who are different?

The cost of money thanks to the RW fed drives most of the costs Biden is blamed for which is why they waited for him to take over to stall the economy. But keep speaking things into existence. The right wing is great at destroying things.

When the "fair play" card one card in a 52-card (plus jokers) deck, yes, I believe that.

(I also believe that there's a very legitimate, no-good-answers-type, conversation to be had on the fair play issue. I just do not believe that there's a productive or nuanced conversation to be had on that issue with True Believer Rubes.)
