More than 60 Republicans sign petition to force a vote on banning transgender athletes from playing on female sports teams

Indiana Congressman Jim Banks submitted on Tuesday a petition to discharge the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The bill was introduced by Republican Rep. Greg Steube of Florida in January 2021, but it hasn't moved forward.

coachblade Great step forward. There is some risk this won’t pass until Democrats lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. Then it will be challenged in the courts. There’s a long way to go.

They need to change the language. Sport is separated by sex. Biological males need to compete in their sex class. They do have a right to compete in their true gender.

Needs to happen otherwise women's freedoms are being eroded by biological men claiming to be women.

imUrB00gieman About damned time.

FUCK THAT

Absolutely they are destroying womens sport and here it is the perverts are doing it because they wouldn't stand a chance against men so they attack women GET IT THEY ARE ATTACKING WOMEN BUT THEN WHY WOULDN'T THEY THATS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST ISNT IT?

Make sense

the really unpleasant thing about progressives is the lazy will to cancel or banish which is a source of anxiety, as opposed to creating real new categories.

Speed-read that as 'burning'.

Finally! I hope this really does get pushed forward and made concrete.

sharrond62 Common sense No chance.

A small, critical and important distinction '...on banning transgender *male* athletes from playing on female sports teams.' No problem with allowing trans-identifying females/males to play on their same sex sports teams (assuming they are not breaking any other rules).

If you want to change gender do the rest of us a favour and stay in the fucking closet . The rest of the world is not open to you

Keeping biological males out of women’s sports seems to me like something everyone should vote for. If not….you’re a misogynist.

This is a common sense. For A MAN to compete in female sport is senseless.

sharrond62 Shouldn’t need a vote, it should already be in the rules that biological men can’t compete against biological female athletes.

sharrond62 100% agree. Common sense at last

A woman is a woman is a woman. Some will just need a prostate exam at age 40.

What changed now? You can’t cheat nature.

Things went swimmingly

There is genocide in Ukraine, rampant inflation, and yet Republicans are worried about a little swimming competition?

Republicans protecting sports for women & girls

It's taken them long enough hasn't it..... Runt Society...
