Yet another example of adults hurting kids sports....
"Athletic teams or sports designated for females, women, or girls shall not be open to students of the male sex," the bill says.Originally Posted by uncaboref
Females, women, or girls? What a bunch of idiots.
So women can play men's sports?
They're soooo inclusive! <self high five>
What about when a male sports coach calls the male players on his team "ladies" because he thinks they aren't working hard enough? Is that team designated for males or females?
Birds are real.
... Critics of such legislation, including AJ Mazaris, the director of the LGBTQ+ Center at Wake Forest University, say such bills are creating an issue out of something that is not a problem.
“This is much like HB2,” Mazaris said, referencing the famous “bathroom bill” that banned transgender people from using the bathroom of their identity. “This is a solution looking for a problem, but the problem isn’t actually there.”
Mazaris said the bill sends a harmful message to transgender youth, a segment of the population that has higher rates of anxiety, depression and suicide ideation than their peers.
“When you have positive messages of inclusion for transgender youth, negative mental health outcomes start to dissipate,” Mazaris said. “These bills aren’t just harmful to trans athletes but for all trans youths who are receiving this message on a very public stage that their lives don’t matter.”
Brody, the bill’s primary sponsor, said in a statement that instances of men competing in women’s sports exemplify the need to act before women’s sports opportunities are destroyed. He did not cite any examples. “The Save Women’s Sports Act is the solution which ensures that all female athletes will be assured a level playing field to compete and win,” he said.
From a piece in today’s W-SJ.
I love mankind...it’s people I can’t stand!!
We have played some schools in football that have females on the team. They usually only play a down or two but the males are sorta freaked out about hitting a girl hard, even in pads. Makes for an interesting dynamic.
The comment was made because the law only addressed men playing on women's teams.
Oh I know. I was just noting something I’ve seen.
I'm guessing most women and girls would prefer good facilities to excluding trans women and girls.
That's interesting... In hockey at the younger ages, the girls are usually more aggressive and physical because they are bigger. Once the boys catch up in the U14 range, checking is legal and a ponytail is a big target.
Just a heads up, anybody who refers to a woman as a "female" (i.e. using the word as a noun instead of an adjective) sounds like a men's rights activist.
Oh, I usually say "thouest squawking creature taken from man's rib, and evermore a pain in his side"...
I love mankind...it’s people I can’t stand!!
In which case you'd sound like Milton, whose "Divorce Tracts" are a solid lesson in exegetical misogyny and marital desperation.
lol
in for a penny, in for a pound
I love mankind...it’s people I can’t stand!!
This is AMERICA. we don't weigh our coinage!
Or a Ferengi!

Cancel CHDeac!!!11!!!
Yes please do. I guess I never really thought of how I use common words as nouns and verbs, esp while defending the rights of transgendered athletes to play sports. My bad.
That being said, I do love the Ferengi.
