    In what respect? I'm certainly not equal to some other men in stamina/looks/strength and wealth but I don't hold a sign demanding I be recognized as so. The whole issue is stupid really!

    Hmm.. Guess you missed the generalization of just ordinary liberal folk... you don't have to be a trans to be an advocate for their policy, and here you are. And when would it ever be appropriate or moral to sexually transition a pre pubescent child? This is what you've said you're advocating for, so was just looking for you to clarify your advocacy on it.

    Can you explain that leap in logic?

    But as long as your bring it up should we outlaw these else bring back Men Only clubs?

    WOMEN ONLY CLUBS – RISING, THRIVING, & MORE THAN A THING

    A relaxing glass of whiskey, perhaps a good newspaper, and an uninterrupted smoke on a cigar in the company of a pretty face in a Gentleman’s Club could be a few of his favorite things. But girls just wanna have fun in their own exclusive spaces, minus male gazes, a stogie, and a stiff one. Men have had their Boys Only Clubs since as far back as the 18th Century and now Women Only Clubs are making headway in 150 offices around the globe, serving as safe spaces with phenomenal, co-working, and female fellowship. These shared personal and professional social clubs allow women to reclaim their time, as well as mental and professional health.

    Here’s to taking up space with like-minded women, lifting one another up, and loving it! Sorry fellas, girl gangs are becoming more popular and turns out we’re here to stay. Women Only Clubs are 100% not going anywhere.

    9 of the Best Women Only Clubs

    The Assembly
    The Coven
    The Wing
    The Riveter
    The Allbright
    Make Lemonade
    Verity
    Hera Hub
    The Broad

    While things maybe changing in swimming, it’s the complete opposite in soccer. Women soccer players can make big bucks, so why wouldn’t any swinging dick try to capitalize on it in women’s soccer where a decent male player could probably easily make the roster?


    Self identify in whatever category you choose! As FIFA push to make it easier for trans players, experts fear it could spell end of 'female' football... with body to align with inclusion in sport-splitting debate


    FIFA have drawn up new regulations that make it easier for transgender women to compete in female football, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

    The ruling body's draft framework has removed its testosterone threshold for transgender women and proposed that footballers should be allowed to compete as their self-identified gender.

    Funny you mentioned this....I was just thinking about women's soccer and this today. I think the moment you have a women on the USA team replaced by a transgendered male, they will change their tune ASAP.

    I don't follow the reasoning behind this "ruling"

    Why must there be a ruling that men cannot compete against women? Aren't there separate divisions for the ONLY 2 sexes, men and women?

    born w/penis= you compete against men. It's an easy concept to grasp

    I feel like the complexity of the issue confuses most people. who do I support and be a good person? And it seems to pit different liberal groups against each other. Because now it would be women and not white men who could be harmed here. Everyone can agree that the white man should move aside but should other women swimmers?

    Not sure this group I’ve never heard of speaks for the left. I’m fine with this.

    In swimming they knew that when they signed up for a woman's league. If they felt they were equal they would have competed with the men but they can't because they are not equally matched against male swimmers have you ever wondered why there are women's and girls sports?

    There really is no men's sports who doesn't need to be it's just the sport where men compete women can't that's why you don't see them there if they could they would be there.

    So an extraordinarily small number of people being born with a birth defect means child abuse is okay?

    It's this new game we're playing with words where we say men or women because they say they are.

    Wrong. Nobody should step aside. That is reverse racism. And, maybe a third if not much less agree with that rhetoric.

    This was literally the 2nd response in this thread.... -->

    "Now women must recognize that they are not equal to men."

    Yeah pretty logical and reasonable response from the left here. (Heavy sarcasm).

    If it is abuse I suggest you prosecute.
