The original title has been changed to make it more accurate. The original title was: Middle schoolers who protested trans athlete in girls shotput competition banned from future competitions.
This isn't a "left " issue. This is a far extreme left talking point. We on the left do not support this. So stop painting the left with this idiotic brush. We pretty much agree that men identifying as women need to compete in mens divisions.
Did you seriously just call for the impaling of a kid?? Because you disagree with how this whole thing is playing out? Regardless of one's side on this issue, that is seriously demented and you need to figure out why you felt the thought of impaling a kid should ever be discussed on a public forum.
Liberals want the truth exposers to be the outcasts. They'll give them labels and shame them to perpetuate their agenda and give it legitimacy in the eyes of easily manipulated sheep. For the left, they even start believing their own lies in perpetuity because they deceive and lie like clockwork.
Liberals want 70% of the population and about 40% of their own, to be outcasts?
Athletes don’t get to decide who’s eligible and what the girls did was a personal attack on the transgender girl. Allowing transgender athletes to compete is a complicated issue and not one to be resolved by middle schoolers.
In this case the middle schoolers are more affected by it than whoever you think it should "be resolved by"
As I keep trying to tell you guys, Leftists succeed because they understand that politics is about punishing your opponents, their families, and everything they care about at every opportunity without a care of right and wrong (punishing your enemies is what makes something "right").
It's why when they burn churches and cities, it's the language of the unheard, when they block Jews from accessing schools no police intervene, when they kidnap drivers or terrorize businesses, it's just a peaceful protest, but when a girl doesn't say a word but refuse to participate, they attack.
Only right-wing people care about internal consistency/morality/ethics. Leftists understand that the overarching value is power and violence. Normal people would be wise to adapt the same thinking if they hope to escape their death cult.

That's true. Even Biden's campaign knows how dangerous this issue is so in their updated Title IX legislation they covered all the trans issues except for athletics. They're probably waiting until after the election since this Far Left crap is toxic.

Which liberals? The dopy liberals operating on the far left? yes. Anybody who operates on either extreme is a nut. Most of us operate somewhere in between those extremes. Like, I'm a Dem who is opposed to this athlete being allowed to participate against biological girls, just like I'm a dem who believes we should be doing way more at the border.
This isn't a "liberal" agenda. An overwhelming percentage of liberals don't want this. Try again
I agree that the majority (probably even a large majority) of democrats don't agree with it. But it's also true that probably over 99% of people who support this are democrats and not republicans.
This decision will be quickly reversed if all the other teams who compete against the team with the trans student decide to protested by not competing as well. When the only team left in the district is the team with the trans athlete, these m orons running te district will wake up.
Nope it hasn’t been banned. They just aren’t allowed to disrupt a track meet to do it.
Any one want to bet that 90% of the people in favor of this were also the ones telling Kapernick to just play ball.
And what type of monster are you that you are in favor of making some 12 year old feel bad about themselves? What type of person does that?
I had no issue with Kaepernick's protest however a big difference is that Colin was not protesting something that involved his competition whereas this does. These athletes could be (although middle school shot maybe not a lot).
The middle school track meet controversy may go to the Supreme Court.
The middle school girls who stepped out of the ring instead of throwing the shot against a biological male have now been banned from future competitions.
How is that even constitutional? I'm trying to think of analogies. But the school district is essentially saying they can ban kids who don't try their hardest in a sport from competing again?
I can see how the track coach might have rules or whatnot but can a school district restrict kids from not trying their hardest from competing again?
Don't kids have a right to compete? Say I'm a basketball player and I don't like my coach. And I say "I'm just going to walk on the court" when put in the game. I do that. The coach has a right to not put me in the game because I'm not competitive but I don't think the school district has a right to say I can't play in another game again because they don't like my attitude.
What am I missing?
This is what happens when you listen to ignorant adults.
Congrats middle schoolers. Welcome to life. Don’t be a sheep.
Good for them, they aren't afraid of getting a bloody nose.
This issue is far from resolved--and in the meantime, they can walk with their heads held high, believing that they have stood up for how they believe the world should be.
It is not the excluded athletes who will be adversely affected by their exclusion--and it is this outcome that authoritarians never understand.

well, thats like saying all republicans believe in QAnon because 99% of those who believe are actually republican.
again a fib. do you folks ever read the fine print? they got a 1 meet ("next meet") suspension. it's a one meet "ban" which by definition is not plural "competitions."
this is my problem with conservative media. it is not even trying to be accurate. they even link to a local article that presents the full facts. but they then turn the situation into some inaccurate scare headline to whip people into a political frenzy. it's confirmation bias on steroids, a feedback loop. you're not getting the facts, you're getting what you can use politically or want to hear.
for comparison, i don't assume that NPR is literally sandbagging complicating facts in its stories.
i respect somewhat they did their protest. however they wasted everyone's time with 5 athletes repeatedly stepping in then back out of the circle, for however many turns, to protest someone's participation that was court-ordered. inasmuch as the trans person competing was not just legal but decided in court, interfering with the contest should have consequences. same as occupying a campus.
or are we doing, your speech is heroic and our speech can be banned.
There is Supposed to be FAIR COMPETITION IN SPORTS, Males Pretending to be Female and being allowed to compete against REAL Females is Totally unfair and is much more Unfair than PED's are. If those Cheating Clowns want to pretend they are women when they are at home fine,
Also The Coach who allowed The males pretending to be Females and the Officials who let them compete, should get the blame as well, EXAMPLE The University of PENN Swimming Coach and NCAA Officials, should be fired and publicly shamed for Allowing The Man who won the Women's NCAA Swimming to compete against Women and stole the Real Women's lifetime dream of winning an NCAA title from them, The UPENN Coach and swimming officials were part of the crime/the Theft,
interfering with the contest should have consequences. same as occupying a campus.

How were they interfering? If anything they made the competition go quicker by not actually throwing. They walked in and out. They never sat down in the ring and refuse to leave. They didn't block the trans athlete from throwing. You just talked about media not being accurate. You aren't being accurate.
to underline something, they didn't really DNS, they would get up on their turn, in their uniform, walk into the ring with the shot, couple even put shot to chin, stop, then walk back out. technically a foul though i don't know if it was scored that way. one willing to be pedantic could argue that "protest" is more accurate than "refused to compete."
if a kid got into the blocks then didn't run i'd call that DNF as opposed to DNS. they reported, the gun went off, they didn't go.
Nope it hasn’t been banned. They just aren’t allowed to disrupt a track meet to do it.

Exactly why this kids “protest” is worse. They weren’t silently making a point. They were disrupting the event for all involved. Basically just a bunch of griefers who get off on ruining others people’s experience…
