Franklin Pierce Uni Rescinds Policy That Allowed Athlete Who Competed In Male Track to Win Women's NCAA Title

Vote Trump if you want your biological daughters to have opportunities in sport. I dont think we need a department of education but if do stopping these kinds of shenanigans is a good use.

Agreed. Trump is the only one actually protecting women's rights. In a recent town hall, Biden was happy to hear that an 8 year old decided to be transgender and said he would undo what Trump did in restricting transgenders in military and in sports. Sickening.

These parents are horrible. If their son said he wanted to be a dog, would they starting feeding him dog food?

I thought Trump was crazy when he nominated Agway lady as Ed sec.

Well, she’s won me over. Fairness has returned to colleges.

The left gets more nuts every day. As crazy as Trump is, he looks totally sane next to Biden. Scary times!

Just to clarify: the Department of Ed under Agway lady has also tried to return fairness to high schools as well. With little success so far.

In early 2020, the Dept of Ed's Office of Civil Rights ruled that the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference and various other local school governing bodies in the state were in violation of Title IX and committing sex discrimination against female students by allowing males who identify as transgender to participate and compete in girls HS track and field.

The Dept of Ed instructed the various CT bodies involved to come up with a plan to comply with Title IX, but the CIAC, the local boards involved and state officials such as the Attorney General and members of Congress - backed by many powerful institutions such as the ACLU - have dug their heels in.

The US Dept of Education threatened to withhold funds from the state, as Title IX allows, but has recently reneged. The whole situation is a mess.

Meanwhile, all the mainstream media is on the side of the male athletes who identify as trans,

Both The New Yorker and Ms. Magazine have recently done fawning profiles of Chase Strangio, one of the ACLU attorneys spearheading the campaign for males to be able to compete in girls and women's sports based on claims of "gender identity."

Strangio is (in)famous for public pronouncements declaring that "there is no binary, coherent thing called biological sex"

And for claiming that biological sex is a myth invented by racist white, colonialist Europeans in order to impose a hegemony of white supremacy on the world:

And for saying

If you are angry or think it’s “unfair” for a trans girl to beat a cis girl in a sporting event then fundamentally you don’t think trans girls are “real” girls. It’s that simple.

For some reason, Strangio's voice is the one that today is holding sway in the mainstream media and the corridors of power at the local, state and federal level.

That reason is to undermine and destroy time-tested social structures and contracts so that a "New World Order" can be instituted over the ruins of civil society. Basically these gender terrorists a subset of the same anarcho-Marxist forces that have created a "new normal" of endless rioting and defunding of police.

Umm...exactly. They are pretending to be girls. Which is generally fine! I have no problem whatsoever with a person choosing to live as the opposite sex, use different bathrooms, whatever. Nobody is harmed by that. But when a bio man starts pushing bio girls off the podium in races meant for bio girls, I do have a problem with it, because now somebody is being harmed.

Fine with me. If men can compete as women, we are only a year or two away from eliminating women's sports. Imagine what Serena and others will say then when they have to compete on a level playing field against males for the same prize purse. Title IX will be overturned because schools will not be allowed to ask an athlete if they are male or female. Sorry women. But most of you are supporting these crazy decisions.

Wait, Are you trying to say that Serena is a biological male?

The problem has always been trying to frame women’s sports as a gender category versus a biological sex category. The only reason women’s sports exist is because biological men have a physical advantage, otherwise the category would not exist.

All these so-called "feminists" are actually severely HARMING women.

-biological men are winning women's sports

- young girls have to share bathrooms and locker rooms with biological men pretending to be women

-the fight to let women wear whatever they want has resulted in women being more objectified than ever - just listen to rap music

-the "sexual liberation" movement has led to higher abortion rates, higher divorce rates, and higher single motherhood rates.

-morbidly obese women appear on the cover of sports illustrated while fit, healthy women are regularly skinny shamed on social media

Well when it all started there was not as great an understanding of sex and gender. Sex is a biological construct that is a little messy; gender is a psychological construct that is way messier! Let's face it women were excluded from sports by men for a long, long time to begin with.

Perhaps the answer here is that we have an open division for anyone; we have a XX division that requires all participants to have only 2 X chromosomes.

It's funny that the people who argue there are no defined genders are also the FIRST to accuse YOU of sexism or "mansplaining" .......wait so you are saying there are genders? WTF.

So we are clear Devos is the AMWAY lady - not Agway. AMWAY is a big scam. Agway is now a garden/farm store. I know a lot about Agway. My dad worked there for 30 plus years

All refuses to define hermself by binary constructs.

I generally agree that including trans women with biological women in sports is not fair. However, it is not a violation of title IX. Concerned Women of America and Amway lady are completely off the deep end relying on title IX. Trans women need to have a space in college athletics to be able to participate in competition while still keeping the integrity of biologically female athlete's competition. It is a difficult issue and nothing is accomplished by excluding trans women.

And a big f- you to the bigots at Concerned Women of American for speaking of the trans women as "males claiming transgender status."

That quote from twitter is nuts. Someone can be a real girl yet it is unfair for them to compete, e.g. people with disorders that produce high levels of certain hormones. This is similar. I am all for anyone living as a man or woman if they want to. That's their life, it's their right and they should be free to do that. But you don't have a right to compete in competitive athletics if it is intrinsically unfair. I am not going to list off all of the advantages but it is not just limited to hormones.

However... there is no point to insulting people, calling them by old names, not referring to them how they want to be referred to - it is just human decency and why would you do that unless you were trying to be s***. It is horrible. So people should not be doing that. But competition has to be as fair as possible - it's the whole foundation of the sport. We try to ban doping. We try to ban unfair shoes. We try to make things even as possible. Their are two sex categories. There are many reasons for this. Someone competing in women's/girls when they have lived e.g. 20 years as a biological man is just way too much of an advantage.

There are many high schools boys who would beat the women's WR.

I think the people advocating for all of this don't realise the massive gap between the sexes. If you look at something like poweroften, the very best women, e.g. someone like Maria Mutola would be in the hundreds on the men's list. It's just a different world.

It's absolutely a violation of Title IX in every way.

The NCAA already has a category for them - MEN'S SPORTS. If you have a Y chromosome, you are a male. That is a biological FACT.

I am 100% against biological males being allowed to participate as a female simply because of their identity crisis. I do not care how someone wants to identify, but there are limits, specifically when it comes to sports where being biologically male gives an athlete an advantage. The very reason for having females not compete against males is because of this advantage and turning it into a "gender issue" is just wilful blindness and not being able to see the forest through the trees. He can join an all girl band, where a dress out to dinner etc., there are endless ways to assert allow him to feel like a female - he simply isn't allowed to take advantage of his male biology to compete against females. There are reasonable limits on all freedoms.

All that being said - there is no way in this world I would ever vote for Trump - not because he is a mentally disordered sociopath, not because he lies constantly, not because he cheats on his wife with a porn star and pays them off, not because he sexually assaults women, not because he is a racist, not because he is misogynistic, not because he is a total idiot - all of that is relevant - but it's because he's a terrible embarrassment of a president, the worst president in history, who isn't a real republican and has diminished and continues to diminish the United States with his every action. Ironically, the only reason there is a need to "make America great again", is to return it to how it was before this disgusting human being was elected and tarnished America's reputation with the rest of the world. I think we all need to pray for a strong republican candidate in 2024 where we can distance ourselves from these four years of absolute embarrassment.
