On looks, she gets my vote. :)

Dude. Dude. No.

Oh ffs, that pic has been obviously been overcorrected to make her look bad. They didn't even bother to match the tones between each section of her face.

At any rate, she was one of the only candidates worth a crap this election; thus, her reputation was destroyed by the liberal thought/woke police.

Tulsi is one of the few politicians that is for common sense as opposed to toeing a party line. I don't agree with her on everything but I think our political system would be much better if it was filled with people like her trying to make a positive difference and not concerned about whether she stands with or against her party.

The Democrats killed her candidacy in both the presidency and then in her state because of the threat she posed because they can't control her and because they were so mad about her killing the Kamala president run. That the members of the Democratic party let people like Clinton spread disinformation like Tulsi was a Russian asset just because she told the truth about Kamala's prosecutor tell you where the party is at and how they have let a totally biased media spoonfeed them narratives that are not true.

Let’s compete like the ancient Greeks—fully nude. That will help sort this out.

See. Sometimes I can agree with a Democrat.

Agree. She's about the only one.

The Democrats show their true colors when they put forth the Manchurian candidate and relegate Tulsi to the dust bin. The Dems have already starting cutting into Biden with the intent to be rid of him by the end of 2021 so that they can anoint Commula,

A commonsense Dem proposal. A rare, rare animal.

Men and women are equal. Gender should not be a criteria used in sports, period.

Yeah, probably give ole sleepy joe a covid cocktail. ;)

Exactly the wrong direction. Running categories are a prime example of the toxic idea of equality of outcome. Skill does not matter at all at the end the same amount of men and female have to stand on the podium even though the female are much much worse. Gender skill has to be judged equally and this sexism should have no place in the world

Here is a summary of a study concerning the frequency at birth of sexual anomalies. On some measures, as high as 1 in 100, others 1 in 1000 or fewer.

I don’t see this as a ban on men competing as women.

It says to comply with Title IX sex shall be determined based on how they were identified at birth.

Isn’t Title IX a numbers game?

As in a certain percent of participants need to be female?

A handful of trans people won’t affect the percentages that much.

It’s up to each federation to determine the rules of who can compete.

Unless this is saying that if you let a single original mail trans person compete as a women you fall out of compliance.

I don’t like when women have to compete against others that have an unfair natural advantage over all other women.

But I don’t know if this bill specifies this or if the government can intervene here.

Being a liberal is not the same thing as being a radical. Plenty of people are Democrats and liberal on a lot of issues and have no interest in letting trans women compete against biological women. This is not a "Democrat" issue; the push to eliminate sex distinctions in sports is a radical position. Those who want that are likely Democrats, but that doesn't mean that most Democrats want it.

How many Democrats speak out against it? I can think of one, the subject of this post.

When Republicans are silent on the extreme nonsense in their party, the left is apoplectic, but they are rarely brave enough to confront it within their own party.

And then ran Biden instead of her because...?

?‍♂️

That's a genuinely original and compassionate way of thinking about this. I like it. I don't think I completely agree with it, but it's a good-faith proposal--and that in itself is such an unusual thing that it deserves kudos.

When in doubt, have them compete with men. Change the “men’s” category to “open” or something to make people feel better

H.R.8932 - To provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 in athletics, sex shall be determined on the basis of biological sex as determined at birth by a physician.

My only suggestion: Rather than using the Birth Certificate, I would say:

"People with a Y chromosome shall be excluded from Woman's sports."

"sex shall be determined on the basis of biological sex as determined at birth by a physician."

Excellent! This is great news for Caster Semenya. This means she will be back for Tokyo since she was determined to be FEMALE at birth , by a physician and it says so on her birth certificate.

I don't think she is American.

The world follows what the US does.
