Let’s be honest, this has almost nothing to do with biological women pretending to be men playing on male sports teams. How often do you hear that happening? Almost never? Huh. This is about biological males taking positions and wins from biological women, which can lead to loss of scholarships, not too mention simply stealing wins that the women worked for
Americans less supportive of transgender athletes playing for teams of their choice, poll finds
Americans are less supportive of transgender athlete participation in single-gender sports than they were two years ago, a national survey has found, even as more people say they know someone who is transgender.
The findings, gleaned from Gallup’s annual Values and Beliefs poll, suggest Americans see the issue more as one of competitive fairness than of transgender civil rights, said Jeff Jones, a senior editor for the public opinion polling firm.
What about the civil rights of actual women to not have their spots taken, their wins taken away, all their hard work destroyed? Is this fair?
Gallup’s telephone survey of 1,011 U.S. adults was conducted last month. It found that 69% of Americans say transgender athletes should be restricted to sports teams that conform with their birth gender, compared to 62% in 2021.
Likewise, the findings showed that just 26% of Americans support transgender athletes playing for teams matching their gender identity, compared to 34% two years ago.
They’re basically saying the same thing: most Americans do not want the gender deranged competing against biological women. I wonder how many who approve of it have women in their lives who have to compete, or have competed themselves? Because virtually every time real women have to compete against the gender confused men they lose.
Z Nicolazzo, an associate professor of trans studies in education at the University of Arizona, said the results show that fearmongering rhetoric accompanying the rapid rise in anti-trans legislation is having an effect.
“It’s resonating with people regardless of what the scientific evidence demonstrates,” she said.
But equally damaging, Nicolazzo said, is that Democrats and progressives are not creating “a pro-trans narrative.”
How about a pro-women narrative? What about real women? Good grief, it wasn’t that long ago that we were supposed to “believe all women”. Democrats just tried to pass their Equal Rights Amendment (which wouldn’t actually. And they cannot even define women anymore), yet, they’re all in for this trans madness fad. At the expense of real women.
Gallup’s poll found that more people say they know someone who is transgender compared to two years ago: 39% of Americans reported that someone they knew personally told them they were transgender, up from 31% in 2021.
The madness is spreading, and spreading fast.
