The Maine Principal's Association said it would continue to allow trans girls to compete in school sports, saying President Trump's recent executive order is in conflict with state law.

How refreshing it is for Gov Mills to stand up for science and our most vulnerable population. Nearly a century ago, Hitler’s first action was destroying all LGBTQ research/healthcare to pretend LGBTQ people didn’t exist & was a “social contagion.” They even used the “groomer” trope to instill fear.
It was never about "States Rights". It was about weakening them and breaking them down in order to make them obedient to the Federal Government. Divided we Fall.
Exactly. This is another distraction campaign to detract from the issues they don't want their constituents focusing on. Critical issues are being ignored by Republicans while they persecute transgender youths with a distraction campaign.
If they go against trump they get primaried.
If they go along with trump they get voted out by constituents.
It’s a no-brainer but you know, they ain’t the sharpest people.
He made snide remarks to Governor Mills, saying he didn’t think she will have a political career after this. Well, she can’t run for Governor again. This is her second term.
What the hell was the Maine Governor doing at a meal with Trump?
He should be boycotted by every Democratic elected official. Showing up to his events legitimizes him and gives him the opportunity to be a bully.
Ostracize him like the mental leper he is.
His reason for wanting Roe v Wade overturned was because he said he believed the states should have more power. Maine exerts that power through wanting to follow their laws in this area and Trump says ‘Nope’.
I don't support public bullying and attempted humilation of a Gov. and at the same time I oppose men in womens sports. So I choose to support the Gov.of Maine the other issue is less important...for now.
There are no men in women’s sports, which you’d know if you passed biology. EVERY major medical association and BOTH SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL CONSENSUS have confirmed, meaning it’s objective fact, that trans women are women and trans men are men. You cannot disagree with objective fact.
And it’s fine if you don’t understand the science as we don’t expect everyone to pass bio, but that’s where we have language to help you out. We all learn what adjectives are in 3rd grade. So you have no excuse not knowing trans women are women just like tall women are women.
Nonsense. You can make up your own reality but the rest of us don't have to accept it. If you were born a male & have male muscle mass you should not compete against someone born female with female muscle mass. Maybe start your own sports leagues.
Have you considered that , seeing as how it's the position of someone you yourself describe as a "public bully," the whole transphobic "men in women's sport" talking point light be propaganda that you're falling for
If a woman has a mans body & a mans muscle mass then how is it fair that she competes agains people born with a womans body and mass? Would you think a man born as woman & possessing a womans body should be expected to compete against born men. Would accept the failure to compete as fair?
I am damn proud of our governor. Governor Mills is standing up to the bully. If there is no lead ship against the orange man at the national level, then maybe it needs to originate at a more local level. Thank you Governor Mills! I stand with you proudly!
Absolutely. I think the only resistance to Agent Orange and his henchmen (and henchwomen) must be at the state and local level. Midterms are coming, and we’re watching.
Wow, you’re just a hateful person.
I respect your opinion but you’re just a raging name caller.
Like a little brat whos pissed that everyone doesn’t feel or act as they do.
Every sport where a trans participates against women, they dominate. The physical advantage is just a fact of life.
Explain how it makes me a bigot?
Even the women who play against them don’t think it’s fair. They’re bigger, stinger and faster.
I don’t care if you’re gay , trans or non binary. People should be able to live the way they choose. But males have a distinct physical advantage over females.
Agree with you completely. Trans people deserve full rights. So do girls. They are not mutually exclusive except in the minds of a few crazy people. We just lost an election over this stupidity. And apparently "they" isn't satisfied and wants more pain.
I thought Donnie was all for handing things back to the state. He keeps making these ridiculous executive orders instead of dealing with the real issues that he promised he would prior to the election such as reducing the cost of food and gasoline.
He couldn't resist patting himself on the back while chastising the Governor. "We are the federal law." ". . . your population, it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well. . ." Then threatened: " . . . enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics." POS
Fun fact: all of this ridiculous bullshit about “protecting women’s collegiate sports” is over TEN trans athletes out of over 500,000 across the entire NCAA. They couldn’t actually care any less about women’s sports.
I think I heard something like 10 out of 500,000?
Meanwhile they call Imane Khalif a man even though she is a biological woman.
Meanwhile they ignore trans men’s wins against AMAB competitors, despite claiming that trans women in sports will always be able to beat AFAB competitors.
Utter hypocrites.
PLEASE stop with this nonsense. It's the reason we lost the election. Keep girl spaces for girls and we can get on with life. Keep insisting penis-people are female and we all learn Russian.
"I support trans rights!" And then in the very next sentence, a clear indication that this person excludes transgender girls from the category "girls."
This is such cognitive dissonance.
They're not girls. Why is that so controversial? You're exactly right about the cognitive dissonance. I don't even see where y'all are coming from with this. It's like zombie-talk. I want to understand.
Janet Mills stood up to Trump.
She’ll follow the law so he’s a grump.
“No funds or career” his dictator retort.
Democracy answered, “See you in court!”
Maine and the Federal government are actually two different entities, and Trump has no power to order anything with regard to the state. That's why he is trying coercive means by illegally blocking money that the federal government must send Maine, and Maine will sue. Reporting needs to explain this
Trump has a long established history of stiffing various contractors, etc, of money he owes. He lost repeatedly in court but hoped the delay and frustration would bankrupt the counterparty or extract concessions. He's taking this lawless approach to our Federal government now against his oath
I'm all for following the law.
I'm also all for male bodies out of female sports.
I'm definitely for the governor bringing up how trump sucks in court with his 34 felonies.
Well, there are no male bodies in female sports, champ, so you can rest easy about that & take some time to read up on shit before having an opinion on it.
Amazingly enough, I'm likely more versed on this than you are.
You could ask questions before being a twunt that gets corrected as your photo suggests...
FINALLY. Someone stood up to him in his FACE. Let’s get more of these moments to remind the ourselves (and the world), we the people are not on board with this and we the people still hold the power.
“I have spent my career – as a District Attorney, as Attorney General, and now as Governor – standing up for the rule of law in Maine and America. To me, that is fundamentally what is at stake here: the rule of law in our country. Janet Mills Governor of Maine
15 transgendered kids nationwide participating in high school sports. I’m glad the White House is wasting so much time, effort, and resources ($$) on this. Where’s DOGE?
I said earlier he can't stand it when woman stands up to him. Particularly on tV. I've said for long time he doesn't want the responsibility,only the title and trappings. He lives to be on TV and to generate headlines. always been like that.huge inferiority complex. MEDIA STOP FEEDING THE TROLL.
It was never about "States Rights". It was about weakening them and breaking them down in order to make them obedient to the Federal Government. Divided we Fall.
I played school sports and am against having trans athletes playing in either/or sports.
You might as well declare all sports one sex, and make no difference for size.
Brave woman standing up to a bully. His behavior, beyond deplorable shows how this konman acts like a child and a thug. This is the best repukeblicans can summon?
Only one that I’m aware of, and that’s only because State Representative and regressive thugtard Laurel Libby literally outed them and their school on social media.
The GOP claims to care about women, & yet the maternal mortality rates in the red states are rising. This is due to their “pro-life” laws. Every single health department of every single red state knows that they are killing more pregnant women than ever. The GOP hates women.
It’s the duty of every single member of the LGTB+ community to fuck the offspring of conservatives. That’s how we’ll win the culture war: by fucking them all till they’re gay.
It was never about "States Rights". It was about weakening them and breaking them down in order to make them obedient to the Federal Government. Divided we Fall.
Congrats to the governor of Maine for standing up to that dumb bully! 💪🏻 More of this! What he's doing is unconstitutional and it's our duty to say no.
Ask how many trans girls there is in maines high school sports .... My guess is it's prob less then the amount of fingers you have. Let the states handle it. This isn't a issue that needs to be national news
The Tenth Amendment prescribes that the federal government has only those powers delegated to it by the Constitution, all other powers not forbidden to the states by the Constitution are reserved to each state, or to the people.
Stand your ground, Maine. It is time to show up and let the world see that there are Americans who truly understand that the male/female definition is too narrow for all of the genetic makeup of the human race.
Interesting that Repugnicans have been saying “let the states decide”… that is until the states decide in a way that doesn’t align…. then they threaten and sue.
In the next 5 minutes, Trump may:
1 Start trade war
2 Say sentence with no known words
3 Declare war on close allie
4 Say he has "love affair" with psychopathic dictator
5 Crap his pants
6 Explain windmills cause cancer
7 Destroy more democracy
8 Say Arnold Palmer has big penis
9 Grab pussy or flag

Everything else: You’re gonna do what we say or you’re not gonna get any money!
See you in the courts over & over again.
PM to verify if needed
Please share widely to resist a president threatening to cut funding and bullying Maine.
Support Governor Janet Mills of Maine’s courageous stand against the PresiDon’T, and protect Maine’s Student Athletes of all varieties.

It’s a no-brainer but you know, they ain’t the sharpest people.
Enough of this lifelong con man, sexual predator and convicted felon.
Trump is a cancer to America.
It seems like the only way to get him to shut up is to suggest he take the stand.
He should be boycotted by every Democratic elected official. Showing up to his events legitimizes him and gives him the opportunity to be a bully.
Ostracize him like the mental leper he is.
Trump is against freedom.

I don’t care if you’re gay , trans or non binary. People should be able to live the way they choose. But males have a distinct physical advantage over females.
Females are used to just being nice about things. The political win is more important than girls having our own category of sports. Right?
How many are we talking about?
Vanishingly small.
Not a concern.
Meanwhile they call Imane Khalif a man even though she is a biological woman.
Meanwhile they ignore trans men’s wins against AMAB competitors, despite claiming that trans women in sports will always be able to beat AFAB competitors.

I need something uplifting to listen to.

She’s term-limited, just like Trump, despite his notion to the contrary

He stuttered “I’m..we’re the federal law”.
And last time I checked EO’s weren’t laws.

When Margaret Chase Smith stood up to Eugene McCarthy in 1950, she displayed bigger balls than all the men in the Senate chambers.
Feckless, spineless Susan Collins should pay attention to how it’s done.
Amendment X
The Tenth Amendment prescribes that the federal government has only those powers delegated to it by the Constitution, all other powers not forbidden to the states by the Constitution are reserved to each state, or to the people.
Trans pop is ~1% in the U.S. I doubt the majority are playing sports. Leave them alone!
State laws related to family and education issues typically supersede Federal EOs. Stand your ground Maine!
