ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban.
It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture.
Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes.
CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

Transgenda.
Second, there are not enough trans people to sustain any local sport
Third, it puts vulnerable women full of estrogen against strong men full of testosterone.
Agreed point 2
Point 3 it the reason there are issues with transgender in sports in the first place. And now the same excuse is used to not have a trasgender subdivision... interesting 🤔
I know there is no 'right' answer as both sides will feel infringed upon.
There are very many shades of grey.
Sport verse serving in the military or and management position will have diffent thought evoking reactions.
Some may disagree with sport but be fully behind the other.... and those opinions and non-binary
We have a Para-Olympics for a reason and no able bodied person can compete for obvious reasons...
If we were talking job, rights in management. Marriage and legal stance, I would agree.
trans women generally take estrogen and have hormone levels equal to that of cis women
having a “trans” category means trans men and trans women compete against each other
hth
Trans woman agaist Trans woman.
In Para Olympics you don't get men playing against woman... that would be unfair...
Right?
most sports became segregated because men didn't want to lose to women. or women were declared unable to do the sport because of nonsense like wandering uteruses (e.g. ski jumping). it's not because all female athletes are worse at all sports than men. that's bullshit.
You do get the point of that argument, right?
Iron is not a hormone..
and in fact, trans women have lower testosterone levels than cis women.
Every move like this endangers the lives of an entire class of people, and some democrats are just like, what? "Trans people aren't real people." WTF.

It’s. Not. About. Trans. It’s ok to ask questions, look into things, but this is straight up aimed at AFAB people. Ie “women.”

Meanwhile, a few Dems have been floundering, and giving them some backbone is a worthwhile endeavor. They need to hold the line.
That's where they're feeling vulnerable.
Countering calls are useful in the long run if people have the time.
As someone with republican senators and representatives, they will straight up tell you they’re just doing what the president wants when you call them
But also democrats need to be reminded that if they side with Nazis they will be disciplined.
Why are any Dems even considering it?
Like.
I know they're not the best party, but it is truly grim that it isn't a given that Dems can't be trusted not to vote against minority rights.
"not the best" is an understatement
I miss the man who got voted into that office, he did some good stuff back at the local level.

This is the result of not teaching critical thinking skills in schools because you're constantly worried idiot parents will sue.
Until we stop counting on Dems in Congress to actually do anything, nothing will change.

And pretty soon they will come for you.
Sound familiar?
if you can’t stop them on the small things, what makes you think you can stop them when they come for groups you consider human enough to care about?
