Duttons turn....

During the interview, Credlin observed that “I know your daughter’s a swimmer. I used to row at uni, but if I’d had to compete with biological men, I wouldn’t have got a look in. I mean, surely it’s not controversial to want to protect sports for girls?”

“No, it’s not,’’ Mr Dutton replied. “And again, I think it’s one of those debates that we have to be honest in, and it’s not about discriminating against anyone, including young girls.

“I just don’t believe in discriminating against anyone, not on the basis of anything, and for young girls not to be able to achieve their Olympic dream, their pathway to a World Cup, or to be displaced from a team, because, you know, somebody has a physiological advantage over them. I just don’t think that that’s in the spirit of sport.”

they seem to spend a lot of time getting upset about things that have never happened

Yep, this sounds like a such a massive issue that the Federal government needed to intervene.

transgenders in women's sport are like those EVs that catch fire
Every right-winger is scared of them but they only can give you one example ever

Nothing wrong with getting on the front foot early and making things black and white before they spiral out of control....

For me they are more like an e bike. When they overheat they explode like Peter North.

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.

They were elected by voters that wanted an activist government, just like every US election winner since Obama.

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.

Some of us are just unable to play sport because we are shit.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Based on the reaction here - there must be quite a few parents on here who have daughters regularly losing out to transgenders in school sporting events

Maybe merkins don't want it to ever happen, not even once?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I hope that MAGA types get their keyboards out to oppose the unfair treatment of these females

The MAGA types don't tend to give a shit about what happens overseas. They are anti-globalists.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

yes - men say that a lot

Some men. Also some women. We are more alike than we are different.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well unless the rest of the world follows Trump I highly doubt it.

Plus how many MAGAs care about sporting people from other countries?

ffs

Neil deGrasse Tyson had a very sensible conversation with Ben Shapiro.

One thing that that came from it was that we are in the early days of dealing with gender on a spectrum. Stop flapping your arms about.

Gender is an unscientific concept. NdGT needs to stick to scientific concepts like sex, which is also on a spectrum, the same way people with two, one or zero legs are on a spectrum.
