Another win for Women's rights

[Oompa Loompa]

My numbers include 2023, so they are larger, but you still haven't told us how many women were assaulted by a trans in a women's bathroom.

I edited my post to include the information.

So 21 incidents, of which an unknown smaller number were trans. OK.

21 reported incidents. With 61% of sexual assaults going unreported, it is likely that the actual numbers are much higher.

The Criminal Justice System: Statistics | RAINN. So it is very difficult to dismiss sexual assaults by trans-women as insignificant and not worthy of attention while simultaneously promoting children being forced to get a covid vaccine.

Call me crazy. But dont you think it is possible to worry about both? Last I checked, liberals didnt seem to care much when biological males pretending to be women were sexually assaulting actual women in the bathrooms. In fact, liberals were protecting the rapists.

Today in America, less than 2% of adults and youth are transgender. Nevertheless, both liberals and conservatives, as well as Democrats and Republicans, are eager to formulate political discourse and policies concerning them.

There are far more serious issue we American facing then matters related to granting or revoking permission for these ten transgender athletes to participate in the NCAA tournament. Both side is fighting over something which effect less then 0.05% of American and world population.

Did you know that it is possible to work on multiple issues at the same time?

Men In US Now Ineligible To Participate In Olympic Games In Women’s Categories

The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced Tuesday that men who identify as women are no longer eligible to compete in female categories for Team USA.​

​

Trans-identified male athletes will no longer be allowed to compete in women’s categories for Team USA at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, under a new directive from the USOPC that enforces President Donald Trump’s executive order to preserve women’s sports, ABC News reported. The decision follows Trump’s order in February titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” which requires immediate compliance by federally funded institutions, including athletic associations.​

If you want to be an actual hero to women in sport I can guarantee there are at least 5 more important issues for them (mentally health in sport; high suicide rates; financial supports, compensation)



Or is this one of those token things?

That is interesting because none of those "important issues" are even being discussed by liberals. I would argue that poor ratings and lack of generating revenue would be a more significant issue than suicide rates. Heck, the WNBA couldn't exist without men.

Consider that Riley Gaines has turned this whole trans athlete issue into a much more lucrative career for herself than swimming could ever be for any athlete. She’s likely make more money than Michael Phelps and she doesn’t even have to swim or compete anymore.

Gaines had no idea what was going to happen. The fact that there were people who wanted to hear her thoughts on The subject is great.

You have something against people making money off their story? I suppose you think every single Democrat who talks to the media, and goes on speaking engagements let's paid nothing?

 

[rjs330]

I accept the issue that you are referring to. Today only ONE out of over ten thousand athletes is transgender, and this number will increase in the future.

Given the various challenges faced globally and by women in the USA and elsewhere, do you consider the issue of which athletes compete in women's sports to be a priority?

This is only one aspect of rhe whole transgender issue. Which IS a priority.

Its not the most important thing, but it is important. Men in women's sports is only a piece of the pie.

This one is EASILY solved. Womens mental health is not. Neither is financial supports or compensation.

This is an easy one to prevent women from having mental health issues for losing to men and losing out on scholarships. Or being injured by men.

 

[rjs330]

It’s now a crime akin to murder to be a trans athlete wanting to compete in your sport?

Oh come on. Do you really think thats the point. The point is a small number of people affected by something doesn't mean its not a problem.

The question that would follow is what would the percentage be in order for it to be considered a problem?

The once traditional conservative party that advocated for limited government no longer exists. Currently, the focus appears to be driven by retribution rather than policy principles.

This subject is a great example of principle. Limited government most certainly does not mean no governement and no government intervention in anything. Its always been about, what SHOULD the governement get involved in.

Typically it should get involved when people arw being harmed and no one is doing anything about it.

Who knows, because last I knew we don't keep statistics on that. I dont believe that is a part of crime reporting statistics.

The question at hand is, in niche cases where the participants, their supporters and the league are down with it, why does the federal government need to step in to prevent it? The case in Maine, for example, where the high school girls on the track team had a trans friend they wanted to run with them, There was no physical danger and no important records at stake, but the Trump administration sued the school to stop it anyway. What was that about?

What about all the other girls in other schools they competed with? What was this boy doing? Jogging around tge track with them? Where all of them fine with it? How do you know everyone was fine with it? These are High School girls. Is there any chance that some didn't want to be labeled as transphobes?

There is always a stake. If not this year then next. And if suddenly a boy starts winning or helping a school win, what do do then? Then you tell him he can't compete?

And yet those men want to invade 100% of the womens spaces. Those 1% of men want to invade 100% of womens spaces.

Not to mention the number of men who are autogynapheliacs or just plain other kinds of perverts who want to do the same things.

The only "women's right" many conservatives seem to care about these days is the right to not play sports with and against trans-women.

This is only one aspect of rhe whole transgender issue. Which IS a priority.

Its not the most important thing, but it is important. Men in women's sports is only a piece of the pie.

Less than 1% of Americans identify as transgender, and transgender sports participation includes fewer than 0.0018% of Americans. In a broader context, this is insignificant. The statistics are too low for meaningful analysis.

Today, this is a priority for both Democrats, liberals, conservatives, and Republicans.

American politics has shifted from focusing on policies that impact daily life to a reactionary environment. Political debates have moved away from a focus on policies that directly impact citizens' daily lives and quality of life. A small group of ultra-liberals in Seattle, WA, advocated for policy changes aimed at addressing the needs of 1% of Americans, seeking cultural change in the broader population and pushing these policies through deep blue districts- like biological man who now identify as woman must be allowed to use women bathroom, biological man who identify as woman must be allowed to play female sports . For reasons that remain unclear, certain prominent Democrats adopted this policy, and Vice President Harris's remarks as Attorney General regarding providing prisoners with access to transgender surgery became a significant political moment in 2024.

The response has been a significant backlash in conservative regions. As a result, debates over transgender issues dominated campaigns between 2020 and 2024. The GOP ran over 100 thousand ads on this topic, leading many traditionalists and even some moderate Democrats to vote for President Trump in 2024, as they opposed rapid cultural shifts.

This issue has minimal relevance to the daily lives of the vast majority of Americans, affecting very few people directly. However, there is a sense of satisfaction among Conservatives when responding to opposing liberal policies.

This is not focused on improving the lives of Americans or enhancing their well-being. Instead, it centres on opposing and preventing progressive policies, regardless of whether this results in significant real-world change.

The reality is that, when Democrats and liberals gain power in the next election cycle, they will pursue policies that oppose with those of conservatives, just so they can penalize the conservative, potentially prioritizing opposition over substantive policy objectives. And the cycle of revenge politics continues.

Prevalence of sexual harassment and abuse in U.S. Olympic and Paralympic sports:

• A 2024 survey found that nearly 11% (10.9%) of athletes reported experiencing unwanted sexual contact or sexually explicit behaviors during their sports involvement.
• Over two in five (43.3%) of those unwanted experiences occurred while the athletes were minors.
• Coaches or assistant coaches were the most commonly reported perpetrators of non-consensual sexual touching.
• More than 3% (3.5%) of athletes reported experiencing rape or attempted rape during their sports involvement, with peers being the most common perpetrators.
• Athletes with disabilities were more likely to have been subjected to unwanted kissing and attempted or completed rape compared to athletes without disabilities.
• Athletes who identify as a sexuality other than heterosexual/straight were more likely to have experienced unwanted sexual touching.

But preventing ONE biological man competing in woman sports is the priority for today's conservative!

not sure why these are even in the same paragraph.

sexual sin should be prosecuted. no matter who they are

But allowing a man to take rewards and jobs and money from women, because they can not do well as a man.. and to allow them to undress in womens locker rooms and bathrooms. and watch women do the same.

now that in itself is sexual harrasment.

so I guess you get to chose what is harrassment and what is not?

The only "women's right" many conservatives seem to care about these days is the right to not play sports with and against trans-women.

maybe because they are not women, they are men?
