On March 3rd, The Hill<\/a> reported that the bill to prevent transgender male athletes from competing in women’s sports failed in the U.S. Senate. All of the Democrats voted against the bill.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Legislation to prevent transgender athletes from participating in girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports failed to advance in the Senate on Monday after all Democrats voted against it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act failed to clear an initial procedural hurdle on a 51-45 vote. It needed 60 votes to advance, which would have required at least seven Democrats to vote with all Republicans to move it. The bill cleared the House<\/a> in January on an almost entirely party-line vote.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

House Democrats, all but two of whom voted against the bill in January, said the measure would open the door to sexual abuse and invite invasive scrutiny of girls\u2019 bodies, dubbing it the \u201cChild Predator Empowerment Act.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBills like these send the message that transgender kids don\u2019t deserve the same opportunities to thrive as their peers simply because of who they are. And they are impossible to enforce without putting all kids at risk of invasive questions or physical examinations just because someone doesn\u2019t look or dress like everyone else,\u201d said Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBTQ civil rights group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have no problem with transgender kids having opportunities, but I want those opportunities to be fair opportunities on a level playing field. Science tells us that sex is determined by chromosomes. Science tells us that males develop different muscle structure than females. That’s why golf courses have ladies’ tees. Student athletes who are women have been physically injured by transgender women playing in their sports. Women who have trained as athletes all their lives have lost scholarships to transgender women. How is that fair?<\/p>\n

Gender dysphoria is an illness. We would be better off helping the people who suffer from that illness rather than encouraging them in the lie that they can become the opposite sex. Their DNA will never change, and they will be taking drugs their entire life to overcome their body’s desire to get back to reality. This is not healthy. Transgender people need to be loved and accepted, but they do not need to be encouraged in their illness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
