Rep. Mary Miller: "We're going back to male and female, and males are not allowed in girls' athletics. They're not gonna be allowed in girls' private spaces."

For the love of god, can someone please show me someone who was actually affected by this negatively? And more negative than the poor kids just trying to fit in?
We protested you, Miller, at your office the other weekend in Mahomet. But of course, like any other time, you are never there to engage your constituents.
The important thing about this conversation is Trump and Musk are stealing our money and information and turning America into an authoritarian country.
Girls private spaces? Like the changing rooms Trump bragged for years about walking into? And the mouths he bragged about sticking his tongue in? And the private body parts he bragged about grabbing?
As a heterosexual male, I confess to trying to get into a certain girl's private space since puberty.
Then I married her and the intrusions continued.
I'm not sorry.
Notice that they never, ever talk about trans men. Behind all this is not a safety concern, but what is also behind their hatred of gay men: misogyny. Eew, why would a guy ever want to be a GIRL?
You sure? Did you double check with ol Treasonous trump? He seems to like to purposely violate the private spaces of underage girls then brag about it.
They're not gonna be allowed in girls' private spaces..." - unless they own the pageant in which case they can walk into those private spaces and grab whatever they want...
Side note, as a former college athlete, I hate when they refer to it as "girls' sports." They say it intentionally to be demeaning and make us sound weak. We are women, and personally I've played enough coed sports that I'm not intimidated if Lindsey Graham wants to be part of our league.
Without due respect
This is the LEAST pressing issue America is facing , but Repubs know how to get people to look at a “ shiny ball” to deflect from the real issues - my advice - don’t be taken in by them
Good to see them focusing on the real important issues.
You know what’s sad. Believe it or not, this actually still IS a big issue for MAGA, theyre plenty around me. It’s like they’re grasping at anything to distract themselves from the real damage that’s being done.
It's amazing how important this issue is considering there's less than a dozen or so transgender athletes competing in college sports. Multiply that number by 34 and you have the number of measles cases so far that have been reported during trump's 2nd term.
They remind me of that one friend who has the dogs who run and sniff your crotch when you get out of the car. Dogs can be trained not to do that. Republicans cannot be trained. There is no room left in girls' private spaces anyhow. Those places are full of MAGA, demanding to inspect girls' genitals.
How can we explain to these folks that bathroom signs or laws have never once guaranteed men will stay out of young women’s spaces? The Republican Party should know that better than anyone.
@quigley.house.gov recently hosted an online call in which the moderator noted that the IHSA (high school athletic org for Illinois) has a total of 3 trans athletes on Illinois HS rosters (not sure of the time period, but maybe the 2024-2025 school year?). How about we worry about weightier issues?
And you can call this rep at her DC office (202) 225-5271 to request proof that she is both a doctor and a scientist, because if she’s not she’s just talking out of her own ass.
or they constantly talk about it because they're not able to.....
because what they do have is inadequate or inoperable?
you know, like the old saying sorta goes
"those that can, do - those that can't, just brag about it"
Hey Rep. Miller, THIS is your line in the sand? I guess you’re fine with your fuhrer’s idiot administration releasing classified military plans? You will be replaced, you fucking coward!
I agree with her. We don't need males with a wig in female sports or bathrooms. This is where the Dems fk up! Not all of us care about Trans Rights like these
Who is this “we” and “us” you speak of? Because when you ignorantly refer to a trans individual as a “male in a wig” you and you alone are only expressing your prejudice.
Meanwhile, Christian pastors are most DEF allowed to diddle children and will continue to DAILY be indicted, arrested and sentenced to prison for doing so.
distract, deflect, villify, rinse & repeat GOP 😏

No fear!

The one good aspect of republicans making oppression of trans people and denial of medical science the center of their platform is the pushback will destroy them eventually.. science has facts on it's side.. appealing to religious zealots and morons will only go so far.
Oh really? Queer panics have been the go-to of the American right since forever. It got George W. Bush close enough that he could steal an election. They keep doing it because it works, and "eventually" never comes.
While your pessimism is impressive, your facts are incorrect. Bush did manage to become president screaming about how he'd make marriage a constitutional amendment.... How did that work out again?
OH RIGHT.. in 2015 we got an amendment that says we CAN do gay marriage b/c of the push back.
While your snark is impressive, your "facts" aren't facts.
Bush was talking big about constitutional amendment, but you're too young to remember just how rapidly the dominos fell as states passed constitutional amendments against same-sex marriage.
In that environment, an amendment to the US Constitution was certainly NOT a longshot. If anything, things got hotter after Goodridge v. Department of Public Health.
What happened in 2015 was Obergefell v. Hodges, a Supreme Court case. Not a constitutional amendment. Not even close to it.
cool story, same sex marriage is legally protected now BECAUSE they tried to outlaw it..... the same is gonna happen for being trans over this... you are correct about specifics, i am correct about the general point.
I hope you're right. My take is that same-sex marriage is legally protected now, to the extent that is, for a rather different set of reasons and by a very different court than the one not sitting. Also, all those anti-ss marriage bills and state constitution amendments? They're still on the books.
Tell that to the current president along with half his cabinet. The president even bragged about entering the dressing room of teens at his beauty pageant. I would assume dressing room is a private space.
Except, we intersex people exist, and are often subjected to unconsented surgeries during infancy and unconsented hormones during adolescence. I started my slow detransition when I turned 18, after the USAF Academy denied me because I was born a nonbinary biological sex. I am an XX/XY hermaphrodite.
2/There are at least 5.6 million intersex people in America. Not all intersex people have hermaphroditism, and not all intersex people are genetic mosaics. There is at least 30 genetic variations that do not fit either cis male or cis female binary values, and there is a wide range of conditions
3/under the intersex umbrella. Why is discriminating against us in any way OK, when all we're guilty of, is being born a nonbinary biological sex? And, why should some surgeon playing god, have the right to decide what gender we're assigned, or be allowed to bully parents into making a decision,
4/ when the correct action is to take no action that isn't strictly medically necessary, and allow the child to choose? I knew I was female by age four, about ten years before I learned I'm intersex.
ALSO FYI: Many trans people learn they're intersex from blood panels, karyotype analysis, or during
6/PLUS, now that there have been studies completed, the SCIENCE shows that trans girls and women, and AMAB intersex girls and women, are actually at a DISADVANTAGE relative to cis girls in sports, due to less lung capacity and less fast-twitch muscle fiber ability. Having tried crossfit, and
1/Hermaphroditism is most appropriate because I don't know the specific type I was born with and by the time my mother admitted my medical records had long been destroyed and what copies she did have, were obfuscated with technically correct but intellectually dishonest "hernia and benign tumors"
2/and all of the doctors are long passed away. There is literally no way to find the specific hermaphroditic condition I had as those organs have long been removed. All I know is I was born with both testes and ovaries. I had an oopherectomy and scrota were constructed from my labia.
In the past, ovotesticular syndrome was referred to as true hermaphroditism, which is considered outdated as of 2006. The term "true hermaphroditism" was very misleading as hermaphroditism refers to a species that produces both sperm and ova, something that is impossible in humans
@atrupar.com Illinoisans attended a Town Hall in Miller's district on Sat - she didn't join us. Someone should look into the business she owns that pays no taxes in IL, the 0 dollars she has returned to the state of IL during her tenure, and the 0 children she had/has in our public schools.
This was not an issue 5 years ago. It only became an issue because right wing psychos like Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson started spewing shit about it. And now that I think about it, Elon Musk was probably the instigator of this.
Nobody should have to change clothes and/or shower in front of another person if it makes them uncomfortable to do so regardless of sex or gender. Petite females will never win athletic scholarships earmarked for women if they are required to compete with she-males. We need to solve this problem.

It’s all about creating the bogeyman that practically all Americans will never know or meet in their lives.
That will certainly lift the average IQ in the worlds next generations👍🏼
Donald Trump used to deliberately walk in on naked Teen Miss USA contestants in their dressing room.
They will run roughshod on the Constitution but the imaginary intrusions of female locker rooms is the big concern, sorry distraction.
Then I married her and the intrusions continued.
I'm not sorry.

#MAGA nutcase distraction mode.. engaged!
By all means, wear a dress. Or a skirt. Make yourself up. Grow your nails long. Empathise with your sisters.
But a man is a man. And there's no shame in being a man. Or a woman. Or someone who likes dress up.
Just ask Jock and Jimmy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

trans men are men.
Republicans and other RWers have disturbing obsessions

There are only two genders,
By someone with an elementary school understanding of gender.
She can f alllll the way off.
you'd think they'd be afraid the girls would be better at the game & make them look like the fools they are
We're just going with penis/no-penis

This is provably a physiological issue, not a mental illness, so these nazi fucks need to eat shit and fucking die and go extinct.
