President Donald Trump has signed an order barring transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports and issued a chilling warning to schools that disobey.
Trump’s executive order titled Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports directs US agencies to withdraw federal funding to any schools that do not comply.
Surrounded by dozens of young female athletes in uniform and women, Trump said: ‘From now on, women’s sports will be only for women.’
‘The radical left has waged an all out campaign to erase the very concept of biological sex and replace it with a militant transgender ideology,’ Trump said from the East Room of the White House on Wednesday afternoon.
‘With this executive order the war on women’s sports is over.’
The Republican president alleged that ‘men claiming to be girls’ have ‘stolen’ more than 3,500 victories and ‘invaded’ more than 11,000 competitions designed for women.
Trump said that a male cyclist posing as a woman competed in the Arizona Trail race won by nearly five-and-a-half hours, and that a man in women’s power lifting broke two world records and outlifted others by 440 pounds.
He also pushed the false claim that an Algerian female boxer at the Olympics in Paris over the summer was assigned male at birth.

The crowd of girls and women clapped and cheered as Trump held up the executive order with his signature.
Trump looked at a girl in front of him in the eyes and said, ‘Now you’re going to go out and win those events, right?’
The order is part of a ‘sweeping effort to reclaim our culture and our laws’, he said.
It directs the Department of Education to notify schools that letting trans athletes play in women’s sports violates Title IX, a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination on campuses. Violating that makes schools ineligible for federal funds.

‘With my action this afternoon, we’re putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars on notice that if you let men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will investigated for violations of Title IX and risk your federal funding,’ Trump warned.

Honestly, I believe it's the correct decision given the differences in biology between males and females.

I agree and so far this is the only thing I agree with him on.
Now we just have to hope that some PC/Woke/SJW judge does not block it.
Which would be ridiculous and send a message that it's fine for loser men of their sport to be taking over female sports just so they can be "winners."
And when things return back to how they should be then we have to hope that the next Dem. Prez. does not reverse this.
That it puts him on the spot and embarrasses him if he tries to.
If trans men want to compete then set it up and have them do that with each other.
I do wonder how many will go back to being men if that was the case.
Prob. a very high percentage since they would now see the risk of losing and they do not want to take that chance. -

I don't know why so many transpersons are opposed to this anyway. Seems reasonable enough, and they would be on equal footing with other trans athletes.
But perhaps you are right that the risk of losing would be too high. Playing against a woman half their size and physical strength increases the odds in their favor I suppose.

Did you just copy paste an article without summarizing it and without giving your own opinion?
Also this belongs in the politics board. Some people have that board blocked for a reason. Move it please.

Nimda moves the threads to where they should go. I'd actually like to get everyone else's opinions first.
But as I told Wildman, I feel as though the right decision has been made and why.

You don't even have thread moving abilities? That's like the most basic level of moderation. He really doesn't trust you at all 🤭, not that I'm surprised.
You should at least summarize the article instead of just copy pasting the entire thing because it shows you read it and are prepared for a discussion. At this point all you've done is copy someone else's opinion and call it your own.

Nah, I'm going to leave it like it is. I rarely edit my OPs. I mostly post them and forget about them.

It should also ban girls from competing in male sports, like girls who want to play football or baseball on traditionally male teams. Also it should ban all,coed sports.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.
