While Rep. Matt Gaetz's amendment was voted down by a wide bipartisan margin, it offered greater clarity around GOP support for Ukraine aid.

    That doesn’t happen. Name 1 trans man that has won a sporting event over a biological male.

    And yes, I do think that trans men should not have access to male “safe spaces”, if such a thing exists. I didn’t mention trans men because it’s not an issue. Women’s sports exist exactly because biological women can’t compete with biological men on a physical level.

        You’re not serious are you?

        Do you need more? That was literally just recent cycling results and 1 swimmer.

        Here is an article with 23 trans women who have won national or international championships against biological women:

      So it will never be an issue? Can you be sure of that?

      Why are you using single anecdote examples as if they’re universal?

        Biological women beating biological men more than a tiny fraction of a percent of the time in any physical related sports? Yes, I can be sure of that. That’s literally why womens sports exists in the first place - because it would be unfair for them to compete with men.

        Did you know that the NFL isn’t a male football league? It’s actually open to all sexes. Women can play in the NFL. There has never been a woman make an NFL team. Same with many big sporting leagues. One woman, Lauren Silberman, actually got a tryout as a kicker a few years back:

          I see, so as long as it’s only a fraction of a percent of the time, it’s okay.

          Well, that’s true in women’s sports as well.

            It’s not true in women’s sports though. Basically every time a trans woman competes they’re finishing up the top.

                    All of the trans women that are winning all the women’s sporting events that they compete in.

                    A 49 year old trans woman got bronze in a track and field race the other day, beating women that are in the prime of their careers. Forty. Nine. Years. Old.

        That’s not a physical sport where you’re literally competing against other people. That’s an individual sport, one that women tend to have an advantage in.

            Those all favour males physically. Gymnastics doesn’t, it favours women.
