Well, of course they did. They have to patronize and kowtow to the tiny majority of Americans who are in on the trans scam
Bill to ban trans athletes from girls’ and women’s sports teams fails to advance in Senate
Legislation that aimed to bar transgender women and girls nationwide from participating in school athletic competitions designated for female athletes failed to advance Monday night in a divided Senate as Democrats stood united against an issue that Republicans leveraged in last year’s elections.
A test vote on the bill failed to gain the 60 votes needed to advance in the chamber as senators stuck to party lines in a 51-45 vote tally.
The bill sought to determine Title IX protections “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” The vote came as Republicans have homed in repeatedly on the social cause, casting it as an issue of ensuring athletic fairness for women and girls. President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month giving federal agencies wide latitude to ensure entities that receive federal funding abide by Title IX in alignment with the administration’s view, which interprets “sex” as the gender someone was assigned at birth.
Still, Republicans in Congress have set their sights on enshrining that policy into law by amending the 1972 Title IX law, which protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.
Remember this poll from January 2025?
(NY Post) A recent New York Times/Ipsos survey found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don’t think transgender athletes should be permitted to compete in women’s sports.
“Thinking about transgender female athletes — meaning athletes who were male at birth but who currently identify as female — do you think they should or should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports?” the survey asked.
Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports.
Of the 1,025 people who identified as Democrats or leaning Democrat, 67% said transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.
The Democrat Elites and their unhinged base do not care. They’ve decided that they want biological men in women’s sports, locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms, immediately on the back of having pushed #MeToo way too far. So, real women? They do not care about you. They do not care if you lose scholarships because of a man competing in your sport. They do not care if you get hurt. Back to first article
“What Republicans are doing today is inventing a problem to stir up a culture war and divide people against each other,” Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, said in a floor speech.
Dividing, eh?
Giant male in a MA school injured 3 girls during a girls basketball match. They ended the game early before he can hurt more girls and had to forfeit the game due to injuries.
Every single Democrat Senator just voted against keeping men out of women’s sports.

BTW, if Democrats are upset, maybe they should reconsider their belief that the federal government should run everything, in this case, education? That maybe funding should be state/local? Because now the federal government has the ability to dictate it.
Two of the girls may have been injured with involvement of the “giant” the third was not.
4 other girls on that team were injured previously.
Did you watch the video of the girl “injured” by the the “giant”? If that play “injured” her back she had back problems to start with!
The coach said they needed time to heal before playoffs.
As I’ve stated repeatedly, height is of value in basketball, and a trans woman doesn’t get shorter when she transitions. She loses strength and muscle mass but not height.
As opposed to right-wing knee jerk bigotry, these rare cases should be evaluated on a case by case basis.
Rimjob like the rest of the demlibs enjoys watching men beat the shit out of girls.
Huh, tough guy?
Jeff,
Men dressed as women are not women, the are crazy people with delusions. They have no business in women’s sports. Explain how sane people are bigots for opposing the stupidity of liberals.
Our oracle from the Qzarks wrote:
As I am certain our friendly pharmacist knows, drug companies have to test potential medicines on both males and females, because men and women are physically different in ways that go far beyond height. Only a few women in the WNBA have ever been able to dunk the basketball — a basketball which is one inch in diameter smaller than the one used by men — and all of them who have are taller than six feet, but, in 1986, 5’7″ tall Spud Webb, of the Atlanta Hawks, won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Men’s muscles are different from those of women, and men have a different hip structure, which conveys a significant advantage in running and jumping.
Male high school basketball players all across the country can dunk; very few girls have been able to do that.
Will Thomas, who ranked 562nd in the NCAA in men’s swimming, was ranked #1 when he competed as a ‘woman.’ He won several women’s races and titles, including one NCAA title.
Really? The activists would disagree with that, because if such cases were evaluated on an individual basis, then you’d be saying that some transgender women really aren’t women, and that’s anathema to the left.
If the ‘transwomen’ were smart — and they aren’t, or they’d realize that regardless of what they were wishing and hoping and thinking and praying, they aren’t real girls — they wouldn’t participate in things which point out the obvious differences between them and real women. The only real accomplishment of ‘transwomen’ is the introduction of male pattern baldness as a ‘womanly’ trait!
Somehow, the hard left have persuaded themselves that they must take the furthest left position possible on anything even remotely regarding to sex, or they’d be enabling us evil reich-wing conservatives and Donald Trump supporters.
Me: As opposed to right-wing knee jerk bigotry, these rare cases should be evaluated on a case by case basis.
Dana: Really? The activists would disagree with that, because if such cases were evaluated on an individual basis, then you’d be saying that some transgender women really aren’t women
The activists just might disagree with me but just because a trans woman retains some traits that offer an unfair advantage in certain sports doesn’t mean she’s not female.
It is scientifically stupid to say there are two genders identifiable on a physical examination at birth. 1% or so are not easily identified.
Do you know of anyone who has been karyotyped (chromosomes identified)?
Caster Semenya from South Africa was assigned female at birth based on her anatomy, i.e., no penis but with a vagina. But it turns out she had internal testes and also a gene activity deficiency that prevented the production of DHT.
Dutee Chand had a high level of a natural testosterone for a female and was a competitive sprinter from India.
Jeff,
You are showing extreme ignorance of the so called gender issue. And you are very stupid.
porter,
Strong rebuttal per usual, you old dumbass.
Please, pick this hill to die on 2026…
It’s the MAGAts making transphobia a big deal. “Forget” inflation, forget Ukraine, forget the debt, forget tariffs, forget layoffs, forget corruption, Canada, Mexico, NATO…
We get it. We understand why MAGAts consider this minor issue a campaign winner. What else do you have?
2026 will be a bloodbath for GOPhers.
21-year-old Camden Schreiner, a male who claims to be a girl and calling himself “Sadie”, won two USA Track and Field (USTFA) Open Masters Championships on Saturday.
A sensible person would think that a ‘transgender’ individual, one who really wants to be accepted as a member of the sex he claims to be, wouldn’t be participating in events which demonstrate the differences between ‘transgender girls’ and real girls, but Mr Schreiner isn’t exactly the most sensible person around.
It gets worse. A sensible person would think that someone in Mr Schreiner’s position would have declined to run alone in the 400-meter dash, out of a sense of shame, but let’s face it: the ‘transgendered’ are essentially shameless.
Ms Schreiner ran in an open race… any age. She didn’t determine the competitors.
Schreiner’s times were not particularly fast for a 21 year old college female. She has won some, she has lost some. High school boys would beat her by some 40 or 50 meters in the 400.
She took 9th in the 200 meter indoor Div III meet, and 3rd in the outdoor meet.
Every comment you just wrote is irrelevant to the problem at hand.
Women should not have to compete against men in athletic events. Period.
It’s inherently unfair.
Is that a concept too tough for you to comprehend? Rimjob?
Jeff,
You keep using the term she. That thing has XY chromosomes so it is a male. Has no business with women’s sports.
Thing,
You are nothing more than a dumbass old lady.
This is hysterically funny. Our scientist from St Louis is telling us that Camden Schreiner should be able to run as a woman because his times aren’t that impressive for “a 21 year old college female.”
I guess that our good friends on the left think we should stop identifying boys and girls by their external genitalia at birth, but wait until they hit their teenaged years and determine their sex by how fast they can run. This is “trust the science” as the left see it.
Our koncreter from Kentucky has, of course, no idea how Ms Schreiner’s genitalia appeared at birth, only that some midwife or doctor assigned her male at birth.
We’ll save our lecture on evidence and reason for another time, suffice it to say that her athletic performance does not set her at all outside that expected from a female.
Bigots falsely claim concern for “real girls” suffering from competing with “fake girls”. Ms Schreiner is decidedly “middle of the pack”. Bigots hate the transgendered because they’re different.

We’ve noticed with dismay that even once reasonable right-wingers/libertarians like perfesser and Dana have descended into MAGAtism, with all its bravado, barbarousness and bullshit.

[…] I predicted, just two days ago, that the Philadelphia Inquirer’s liberal columnists would be “outraged” by Radnor High School’s decision to remove three “graphic novels” — a fancy term for comic books — dealing with homosexuality and transgenderism from the school library as “age inappropriate” for high schoolers. I have previously said: […]
