I strongly suspected this was the case, based on my conversations with Democrats whom I know. A recent New York Times poll has found that a large majority of Democrats oppose allowing transgender athletes to compete in female sports. In the poll, a whopping 67% of Democrats said they oppose allowing males who identify as females to compete in female sports.

Among the Republicans who participated in the poll, 94% said they oppose transgender athletes in female sports.

Overall, 79% of the 2,000-plus respondents in the poll said they oppose transgender athletes in female sports. 1,025 Democrats took part in the poll. 1,022 Republicans took part in the poll. 81 Independents took part in the poll, 64% of whom said they oppose transgender participation in female sports.

As I've said many times, woke liberals have overreached and badly miscalculated on this issue. The propaganda games they used to normalize homosexuality and same-sex marriage just are not working when it comes to transgenders in female sports, letting biological males use female restrooms, pushing to let minors get transgender drugs and surgery (with or without parental consent), etc. Most people instinctively know that minors simply are in no position to be choosing to get their genitals irreversibly mutilated, even if their parents are sick enough to let them do it.

Thanks for reminding us this is just a first step to rolling back marriage equality.

What's your opinion on Loving v Virginia?
 
Could this seriously not go under one of the other trans threads, or even the "Democrats are out of touch", etc. threads out there? Also, why the ◊◊◊◊ is democrats capitalized? Furthermore, why do Democrat opinions matter more, which is what I'm getting from this thread? For all the bitching, moaning, and griping from those on the right (like the OP), why even bother addressing what Dems think? Since when did NYT become respectable to the right-wing?
 
So attitudes on transgender men in women's sports alone is a yardstick for all things transgender. Ok, then.

How about transgender women in mens' sports? Or in trans sports? Or in individual sports? What about mountain climbing, or chess, or darts? Where gender is irrelevant.

What about transgenders in politics? Or business? Or the arts? Or any other pursuit where gender is irrelevant.

Mike, why don't you just openly admit you know nothing about transgenderism, and you are perfectly happy to denigrate it on that basis. Nobody will think any different about you.
 
Maybe if the DNC had been more attentive to what their voters thought about this, they wouldn't have lost so many votes. Maybe the NYT is calling this out, in a too little too late kind of way.

I read the survey. It's so biased it's laughable. In the form of "Would you rather strangle grandma or vote for Trump. Agree? Disagree?"

True. Too many Democrats took the bait and went around yelling "I DON'T WANT BOYS IN GIRL SPORTS!" instead of calling it out for the distraction it is and actually pushing through things like expanding Medicare and Medicaid, higher taxes on the wealthy, and more labor protections irrespective of donor approval.

I thought they wanted Trans Men in women's sports like how they have to use the women's bathrooms in states that passed anti trans bathroom laws.
 
I'm on the fence about this because it implies that ANY man can beat ANY woman in ANY sport.

Admittedly I did not give as much attention to this past election, but I cannot remember the Harris campaign putting any significant effort into pushing "pro-trans" policies during the election. (They may have had it buried deep in some policy document, but the ones that seemed to be making the most noise about it were the republicans.

Much like the "war on christmas", the republicans managed to take a non-issue that was based on bogus arguments that didn't really have an impact on anyone's lives, and turned it into a campaign issue.

Democrats: "Lets talk about the economy and other critical issues"
Republicans: "But what about the penis?"
1 month later...
Republicans: "See the democrats are pushing the trans issue down our throats!"

We have over a century of competitive sports data that supports this conclusion. There are other lines of evidence as well.

Besides, most male leagues are open leagues. Any woman who believes she can succeed in the NBA is welcome to try out. There's no need to send men to the WNBA just because they'd rather compete against women.

I'm sure Bobby Riggs thought that too.
