  1. As someone that usually votes Democrat I have too agree with this one.

  2. Common sense is finally winning.

  3. welcome to the age of fascism in America

  4. We'll take away reproductive rights but we'll let you keep your identity in sports. Wow. What a generous deal. What's with all the attacking women's rights lately?

  5. So what about trans men competing? Why no issue there? Also so do trans women join men’s sports?

  6. They banned boys from joining girls sports. No such thing as trans

  7. And next week there will be hormone bans for adults like in Missouri where there is a legal 3 year waiting period and a 20 point checklist and in Oklahoma where a child can be 27 but not if you murder someone of course.

  8. I agree with this bill …let’s be fair, many of us accept trans people and that respect and acceptance should be reciprocated and strangely I don’t see transmen trying to play in men sports so I think there’s a general understanding that it’s not fair so let common sense prevail

  9. Wow, pretending to support women while attacking them on every other front. So this is SUPPOSE to support women but it's just another facist attack on freedom for those they hate. I see this is another hypocracy in the name of democracy. To the right, they're both equal.

  10. Every democrat voted nay. Wow that’s scary.

  11. This will hurt democrats next year, push ultra trans agenda will be their downfall next year.

  12. Letting this dude with that wingspan and lung capacity swamp these young women who have competed and worked their entire life is an outrage..Well played… Enough..and get a grip…Just keep your hands to yoseff..

  13. When you have to explain to someone how men and women are different, then you're defiantly talking to a looney.

  14. Gays are demons who walk the earth

  15. a reminder NO DEMOCRATS signed this bill.

  16. We just don’t play together

  17. They should pass this bill. 👍
    The number of trans young people is increasing, so this issue will get bigger and bigger.

  18. Preventing males from competing against females. Only an absolute nutter would be against this.

  19. It's NOT about "fairness" – taking away people's rights is not a part of democracy; this act is only done in totalitarian regimes. The Good Ole Putin's party (GOP) has become a mouthpiece for Kremlin propaganda designed to destroy the U.S.A. and its democracy.

  20. I'm a Democrat and I to am against Trans women being allowed to participate in women's sports. And I do not agree with 99% of what Republicans stand for.

  21. You all should be ashamed of yourselves! Promoting this crap, men wearing women's clothes & being able to compete with real women! Stop the madness!

  22. Right, men and women are not equal. Men will always blow women away in sports. Women are no match for men in sports. In fact, I think Stephen Colbert can kick the crap out of Ronda Rousey in a fight any day. So yeah, that would be unfair.

  23. Good let them move and start their own country if they don't like it leave us alone

  24. Why is it that Dems are not even able to tell people how many athletes are actually affected by this bill, half a dozen? Maybe two dozen at most? Whow, the love of Gop for punching down on weak and isolated categories of people.

  25. Take your pathetic mangina and play against real men, you clowns.

  26. Biased news report watchers beware.

  27. Why don't these mentally ill people suffering from gender dysphoria form their own thing like the "SPECIAL OLYMPICS"have.
