It's really weird even to CARE about transgenders playing girls' sports

Total horseshit. :)

"[Right-fringe Republican] DeSantis waded into 30 school board contests in 2022 with endorsements and fundraising help — a near unprecedented level of involvement for a governor in these local elections — and won nearly all of them."

Hey tough guy, did you even read the article... not just the heading?

"Gov. Ron DeSantis and his allies view winning control of school boards as key to reshaping the state’s education system, something GOP leaders have been chipping away at over the last few years."

That would clearly indicate who has been in control of the school boards and its not the republicans. Again, look at the FEA and the teachers union.
 
The schools in Florida are not run by Republicans, check out the Florida Education Association web page, including the officers and Press Releases.
The schools in Florida have been run by Republicans for decades. FEA can ask for things but FEA has zero decision making power.
 
The Republicans have been in control of Florida's legislature for decades. How would they have that kind of voting base, and not control the school boards?

You both obviously don't understand the difference between setting standards and creating curriculum.
 
Nonsense. No scientist is going to alter conclusions to please a funding agency.
Are you insane. Scientific results are based on who funded the study. History is written by who won the war.
It's mandatory to take the jab if you want to keep your job. It's totally safe except for those who suddenly died from it.
I have nothing against trans people. I actually find some sexy as fuck. But to say they don't have a competitive advantage against women is fucking ludicrous. If they don't want to compete against men set them up with their own division but it's completely unfair to put them up against girls who work their entire life to achieve excellence in a sport only to have their dreams shattered by a dude in a dress

Nope. Scientific results are based on science. Disclosures on scientific studies are cherry picked to be released in corporate sponsored studies

There aren't nearly enough for that. Why not set up a division for Asian women over seven feet tall who want to bowl?

If there is on that takes a scholarship or a medal from a girl whose work her whole life to get there . It's too many.

please take a few moments of your time to educate yourself about this statement ^^

John Oliver deep diving into the trans ban and how small a sample of reports there are, the distorted numbers quoted by many coming from one very suspect source, and some actual science. It's a fair, balanced, and informative piece.

Even if this was about that, and its not, one is not too many. You need to be at least a significant percent of all the scholarships out there. That's even assuming that people SHOULD get scholarships for sports which they should not.
 
Let alone to let kind of thing affect your voting behavior. This nonsense has been coming up over and over all year -- but how many actual instances are there?

A male-to-female transition is a difficult and complicated process. It involves hormone treatments. And irreversible surgery. And at least two years of psychotherapy -- no surgeon will touch you unless you've been through that and your shrink agrees this is something you really need.

Nobody is going to go through all of that just to gain an unfair advantage in women's sports.
Just recently, there was a WOMEN'S billiards final where both WOMEN had a penis! Now how fair is that? I rest my case.
 
Billiards is one sport where gender does not confer an advantage either way. It does not take brute strength to wield a pool cue. And I say this, as someone who is not a particular fan of transgendered people participating in women's sports.
 

Any anti-trans individual who has a shred of courage needs to watch that video and then STFU / FOAD.

John Oliver’s presentation of the facts and reality was flawless.

👍 👏 🥇 🏆 🇺🇸

So much money and attention has been focused on a problem that doesn’t exist, for the sole purpose of hating and othering. Meanwhile, the problem of rapey / abusive Cis coaches goes unaddressed. Not to mention, the blatant fascism & corruption in the current administration, and the utter incompetence on foreign relations, the environment, and the economy.

SAD!!!

We. Told. Them. So.

I would not watch that; bowling is boring.

Now, seven-foot-tall Asian women riding horseback and shooting flaming arrows at targets with politicians strapped to them might be more interesting to viewers. Point scored for those who nick an ear; none for a miss or a direct hit, of course. :nana: :devilish:
