    Any of those women athletes that compete?

    As for women supporting it, plenty of women support Trump, too. I don't know that this tells us anything.

    Absolutely, here’s an article citing dozens of women athletes and organizations that support this cause.

    I think the vocal support of women athletes can move public opinion on the issue and the courts are not immune from that.

    Idaho State track athletes want transgender lawsuit tossed
    By KEITH RIDLERMay 26, 2020 GMT
    BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Two female athletes at Idaho State University want a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging a new state law banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports, the first such law in the nation.

    Madison Kenyon, 19, of Johnston, Colorado, and Mary Marshall, 20, of Twin Falls, Idaho, run track and cross-country on scholarships at the university. Each said they’ve lost to a transgender athlete from the University of Montana and contend that transgender athletes are unfair competition.

    Attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom are representing the two athletes. They filed the request to side with the state of Idaho in fighting the lawsuit and are asking that the lawsuit be dismissed.

    “Female defeat by a male athlete is uniquely demoralizing due to the elemental inequity involved in being subjected to the match-up in the first place,” court documents state. “Male intrusion represents the elimination from female sport of the relationship of effort to success that makes the draw of sport and competitive striving what it is.”

    I recall another issue women athletes speak out on, reminded by the video before, and that is the outfits they are compelled to wear. Turns out many women athletes hate dressing like that, but management insists. First heard about it re tennis.

  5. Yeah, a bunch of over the hill has been athletes who aren't impacted at all, and a few that probably aren't going to win anything anyway, so they virtue signal. My guess would be most female athletes who are in sports being invaded my trannies and are competitive for top spots are not in favor of this. No doubt you can find one or two that will support it, 99% don't.

  6. It should be illegal for trannies to own vollyballs.

    No man wants to see that kind shiite when he goes to the beach.

    Female vollyball players should not have their gene pool watered down by social experimenters.

    You’re conspicuously attracted to this topic. As @TreeFrogTrader would say, you can’t stand in the way of love.

    Why aren't more women who "identify" as men trying to compete in men's sports?
