The End of women's sports if the Dems get their way.

Previously I've covered the throwing under the bus of radical lesbians, radical fruitbat-feminists (as distinct from equal-opportunity feminists)  and women's sports advocates by the Political Left. I've covered former Lefty lesbian heart throb Martina Navratilova getting ShirtStormed for saying trans-women playing women's sport is cheating. I've covered lesbians getting beat up at Pride Day last year by Antifa for not wanting "persons of penis" in their grrrrlz-only spaces. Like the change room, the showers, etc.

And I've covered all the reasons why a sex-change doesn't change a damn thing about the male performance advantage over women in speed, power and endurance.

Physics. Doesn't. Change. You fricking Lefties can cry all you want about how gender is a "social construction" and cry all day long about the feeeeelz, physics does not care.

Okay, so we got all that. For all that arguing, yelling and hitting, here's your results:

The Daily Caller reports that "Democrats' Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make 'sexual orientation and gender identity' protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law," and would force schools to accommodate "transgender" male athletes who identify as female by placing them on female-only sports teams.
Biological males competing as females have become a trend in high school sports (as well as some professional sports), and several biologically male athletes have earned top honors in state sporting competitions, beating out the women for whom the all-female contests were created.
...[some snippage]...
Activists who support "transgender rights" in sports contend that there are no innate physical differences between women and men, and that men who identify as female are "authentically women," and should be allowed to compete, even if they have a clear and undeniable statistical advantage.
The Human Rights Coalition even wrote a statement in support of the bill, claiming that opponents of the measure are denying science.
"Opponents of equality in athletics for transgender athletes have argued that girls who are transgender have unfair physiological advantages over cisgender girls and as a result, will dominate women's competitive sports," they wrote, adding that it is not "rooted in fact" that men are stronger and faster than women, according to the Caller.
Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D-IL), the last remaining pro-life Democrat, was the only member of the caucus to oppose the bill. Republican Reps. John Katko (R-NY) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) joined with Democrats to press the bill forward.

The entire DemocRat caucus, except one guy, signed on to this thing. They intend to legislate, cast into law, that there are no physical differences between men and women. You take a man, put him in a dress, and he's now a woman. By declaration alone.
This is a stunt, just like Alexandria Occasional-Cortex's Green New Deal which did not receive even one vote in the House. The "Equality Act" will pass through the House, all the good people will vote for it, all the bad people will vote against it, and it will vanish, never to be seen again.
But it does tell us a great deal about what kind of people these DemocRats are, and what their intentions are. They're quite happy to throw 150 years worth of gains made by the progressive women's movement out the window for a bit of momentary virtue signalling. If they get what they say they want, all the top women athletes in the United States will be men.
Full disclosure, I don't play sports, I don't have kids that play sports, and I don't watch sports. I detest sports.
As a large and grizzled old male, I don't care a good goddamm who else is using the bathroom at McDonald's. If some girl wants to stick on a mustache and pretend to pee standing up, that is her problem. I'm in no danger from mustache girl, she's a twig compared to me.
As a Conservative, I don't care that the women's movement is getting squashed. Women are supposed to be property, aren't they? Kept barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen to make me a sandwich. That's what Conservatives believe, right? Fer shur.
Y'all Lefties and lesbians have brought all this shit on yourselves. I'm sitting here with my popcorn and beer, laughing it up. I don't have a dog in this fight.
Oh, but wait. I do. I'm living next to a nation whose government is composed of thieves and liars. That probably won't turn out well for me. Eventually one of them will want to take -my- stuff. "First they came for the Lezzies, but I'm a dude so I said nothing..."
Dear Americans, please stop voting for these Leftist assholes. I'll see what I can do about the Liberals in October.

The only good liberal is a dead liberal.

I feel sad for these girls who've worked hard to be the best they can at a sport, only to have some guy in drag who couldn't make the boys' team come along and crush everything. And they can't complain, or they'll be unpersoned by the mob.

Yep, I wrote about this myself, "The deliberate destruction of women's sports."
http://senseofevents.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-deliberate-destruction-of-womens.html

If the door is opened full-wide to boys in public schools declaring themselves female and entering girls' sports events, then it will mean the end of women's sports. Instead, there will simply be two categories of men's sports.

Once again, we will learn that everything that Leftism touches, it destroys. On purpose.

There came a girl from France, who did a little dance,
But since all looked askance because she wore no pants
'Twas but a passing glance to assess her widespread stance
And to the rear advance.

"Jiggle, jiggle," eh MzBill et Cie?

Yeah. https://bastionofliberty.blogspot.com/2019/04/so-man-splaining-is-bad.html

As a bio-female, I hate this. The only solution is to merge men's and women's sports, which will:

- Cause the pseudo-women to drop their femme pose, as they would get CREAMED by male elite athletes.
- Leave the "No Difference" advocates without a leg to stand on
- Get rid of the Islamic female athletes entirely, as they would be forbidden to compete near men

Bring the popcorn.

All the Lefties have to do to prove they are right on this is to point to the women dominating men's sports the way the trans dudes are crushing the girls in theirs. Should be easy enough.

I'll just wait right here.

You know why I like this?

It is how Normals think.

Martina sounded the alarm and she was attacked from the left. Realizing that sports officials have the backbone of a jellyfish and will do nothing to stop this transgender insanity, it is up to the female athletes, be they amateur or professional, to put a stop to this nonsense by demanding that transgender females (dudes) be prohibited from competing against real females. If they acquiesce, then women's sports as we know it will wither and die. Given the strides women's sports have made under Title IX, it will all have been in vain.

I want to see how this plays out on the World Cup professional circuit, where there's MONEY on the line.

In tennis for example, there's millions of dollars in royalties and advertising that falls to the World Cup champion. If this law is passed, the World Cup champion is going to be a man in a dress.

How long are the uber-competetive Alpha bitches of sport going to put up with high-school championship level male players humiliating them on the court by running up scores of 100-0 and taking the top ten spots in the sport?

Let's see a "trans-woman" athlete pass this test. Then "she" can compete.
