It’s not an affront to the trans identity, it’s simply based on the data that hormone therapy cannot currently be proven to completely or even significantly curb athletic performance, especially across the breadth of unstandardized administration protocols.

Taken from the British Journal of sports medicine.. Transgender women’s heart-lung capacity and strength exceed those of cisgender peers..

How do these clowns run our country

excellent comment

[@samadamms3432]

They run it poorly.

[@thefobbie0034]

Jayapal took statements from SPORTS ORGANISATIONS - notice how none of those statements that she quoted were from actual sports women competitors!!!! Jayapal argument takes the position of how and what this would mean to transgender athletes to which her position completely ignores the actual female athletes on what and how this affects them - absolute selfishness! All about us forget about YOU!!!!!

[@maryelizamoore7870]

That's a problem. We should be protecting all people.

[@Engrave.Danger]

​@@maryelizamoore7870you're absolutely right, we should be protecting them from puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, surgeries and ideologies. Keep them safe and keep them on their own teams.

[@maryelizamoore7870]

@@Engrave.Danger Puberty Blockers are the way we protect people (particularly males) with Early Onset Gender Dysphoria (as defined in the DSM-5) from irreversible changes that come about from testosterone. And yes. They need to be kept on their own teams. They should not be forced to play on trans with people of a different gender or with people who have advantages over them. Makes with Early Onset Gender Dysphoria have distinct bone densities, smaller frame sizes, and less muscle mass on average compared with other members of their sex. And Vice Versa for Females. They are a distinct category with distinct characteristics and needs.

"Handmaiden" definition? No, it's a categorical definition of what a female actually is. The dichotomy is ultimately based on which of exactly two gametes one's body can/could produce.

[@user-pj2xs1wp6l]

Completely absurd talk here. Holes and Poles, woman and men. Sexual preference and feelings are irrelevant to the sports world.

[@tarnw3301]

Hele Joyce pretty much said that parents that transed their children are the ones that will defend this until the bitter end.

[@christinewolfe4798]

And she is too emotional sounding unhinged and unprofessional. She should have taken her kid to a mental health facility instead of going along with this ridiculous crap.

[@nickanderson7693]

True. The sad part is she thinks she's done an amazing job and the right thing and normal kids and their parents are the crazies.

[@Retirement02042012]

It’s so sad that parents defend such a mind altering satanic decision. Pray for the parents and these children. Parents are supposed to be protectors of truth and spread to their kids, not pervert them.

If a child identifies as trans that child needs professional counseling from an unbiased doctor and an investigaation into whether the child has been unduly influenced by molestation, peer pressure, grooming by an adult,or is suffering from some underlying emotional illness.

This is absolutely insane to me! Why do we have title 9 if they're just going to allow men in women's sports anyway?

[@jack-wilder]

If they are calling this a debate the first thing you need to do in a debate is to define the terms. They will get nowhere if the terms are not defined. For example, they need to define what a woman is? A woman is an adult female. A trans woman is an adult male that wants to look like a woman. An adult male that wants to look like a woman should not be in women's locker rooms or sports.
