What are your thoughts, lefties?

My thoughts are it's ridiculous that an executive order has been done for this.
I would think it's up to those sporting bodies to determine who plays in their sports.
I thought the Republican Party was all about the government staying out of everyone's business.

It was made to stop the nonsense.

Most of them are too shit scared to make a call and implement the change so someone needed to step in and take the bull by the horns, or the cow by the udder... or the cow by the horns I guess in this case....

This exactly the sort of conviction in their actions Trump campaigned on - that he would do something. The other mob were too busy waving their finger at him while having no policy of their own on seemingly anything....

plenty of sports have done this in Australia at least at the professional level
Probably don't get as involved in the local school sports carnival as Donald

Yep organisations are too scared too make a call they fart arse around the issue without doing any anything trying to please everybody.

I am sorry but Transgender people being banned from sport its not much different to people being born with medical conditions where they are unable play sport due to specific physical disabilities they may have.

If you choose to be a Transgender and become a female then unfortunately one of the costs of that is you wont be able to play female sport.

From a physical and genetic point of view its not fair on the actual females.

Unless they decide to start up there own comp and they can play amongst each other then yeah any loophole should be closed off.

They were taking the piss and it had to stop. Simple as that. The circus is now over.

Taking the piss?
How many instances were there of this happening?

If sporting governing bodies want to make rules about this (which many already have, such as swimming, athletics and golf) then fine, but why does it need an executive order from the president?

Republicans: "I don't want the government meddling in the affairs of the people."
Republicans: "There's too much federal government oversight. Let the states handle their own shit."

Also Republicans: "Hold on, wait...this has something to do with gender or women's bodies? Well let's rain laws and executive orders down from up high!"

Look, I don't disagree with what you're saying.
However, it's up to those sports to do that. If they want to have a sport that has trans women competing against women then that's up to them. If all the women leave that sport because of that decision, then they will have to think about changing it. Can't have a sport with no competitors.

Seriously, this is what the right are all about. I'm not sure why their stance changes because it's now about trans people.

Yes for the last f**king time the LBTQI plus community have been ramming stuff down the throats of the general public for a decade. They were empowered by softcocks like you and the MAJORITY at least in the US, said ENOUGH. And in a democracy the majority wins, has a bigger say and changes shit. It’s that simple. Now deal with it or create another rainbow revolution.

In some sports, men compete against women, like Olympic show jumping.

I agree it should be up to the sports to administer their specific discipline rather than politicize the sport.

I understand that majority wins and this is what the majority of the US voted for.
That does not mean I can't whinge about it.

And if you think the LGBTIQ+ community have been ramming stuff down your throat for a decade, imagine how they have felt their entire lives having to look at all the hetero/cisgender stuff all around them. Poor bastards.
