So you're questioning my sincerity about fairness in women's sports? Why so? I can assure you my concern is authentic. But you're going to believe what you want to believe. I respect your feelings about sports for trans and would support ways to address that. I strongly believe we shouldn't be negatively impacting women to accomplish this.

Explain what you mean when you say "priorities". This suggests to me that you believe trans men can only compete against women and that there's no other possible solution or option. You think trans women have to compete against women. Period. End of story. The hell with fairness to biological women! Why do you limit yourself this way?

He'd rather argue about a definition of the word ban than compromise and find a dang solution.

Blue collar voters are deplorables

I'll let him speak for himself. For me, we need this law to keep trans men from competing in women's sports. May I assume you understand my position now?

Calling me a "dude who...never previously cared for education" isn't scoring you points in this discussion. It makes one think you're getting desperate on your position, you think?

I don't think a ban has to be universal. I think you think, however, that complete access has to be universal. To not allow trans men to compete against women? I think many have covered this in this thread. What are you not understanding?

I don't know what your reason for your stalemate is either. I used Webster. You are taking an extremely narrow view IMO I stated above that I was kinda in the middle of this issue. I think both extreme viewpoints here are whacked. There's a pretty simple and reasonable compromise and you and other extremists refuse to yield, at all. Of every single child? Absolutely

How did we get to exposing every child's genitals?

I trust my position and disagreement with you is clear to you as well. When you feel like disengaging, have at it. After all, you self imposed the stalemate

Love the passion and drama. For shyts and giggles, I looked up the definition, and your position on the definition couldn't be further from your claim.

Yeah, OK I guess you're in a self imposed stalemate

Just above you support restricting certain content. And I don't consider you a banner. Interesting?

Why do you feel the need to describe a difference of opinion to yours as MAGA? That's where any sort of meaningful discussion on our differences goes south, and quickly. For example, I think a book describing a #### ###, with pictures< is inappropriate. You?

Disagree. If you can get a book on the internet or in a public library the book isn't banned. Is there anything, anything at all, that you believe would be inappropriate in a grade school library?

Are the books being prohibited though? I think all of us believe there is an age appropriate metric on all content in our schools. There always has been, hasn't there?

I'm kinda in the middle on this book issue. One side needs to quit saying burning and banning books though. That's not what's happening.

This wouldn't be a thing if trans men didn't demand to compete in biological women's sports. Your solution is degrading women. Why the hate towards women? Let's either have trans men compete against biological men or lets start a separate trans league and let trans men compete against other trans men?

This bill wouldn't even be a thing if there wasn't women sports. You are 100% wrong.

Do you need to take from women, after decades of fighting for rights, in order to help these families and kids? No other option? Aren't we talking about not allowing biological men to compete in women's sports? That's 100% what this is about. I presume we both want trans the ability to compete in sports. I do anyways. Why do you want trans men to compete against biological women? If it is, as you say, about hate, why do you hate women so much?

He insulted and pivoted away from the topic at hand. I wonder why?

Isn't that what we both do? You see things thru your lens to placate you as well. But instead of respecting my pro woman opinion, you call me a sick !@#$. Bravo!

You mean the Pro Women bill?

You know, I hate defending Trump because I can't stand the guy. But there isn't one set of handcuffs, not one, for these crimes he's accused of. You Dems keep bringing accusations and TV camaras but none of your accusations never, ever, pan out. About the time the last one runs out of gas, you've got your next one queued up.

You're right, Kamala for POTUS!!!
