  1. DSD/Intersex/SheMale (whatever) athletes, should not be allowed to compete against biological women in any shape or form.

    End of.

  2. Caster Semenya is not a trans woman. Why we are using her image to discuss a trans ban is beyond me.

  3. I don’t quite understand what this whole debate is about. If you have a double x chromosome you are a biological female, if xy chromosome you are a biological man. Biological gender is not a matter of choice. Who you identify as is another story. I for instance identify myself as an electric kettle 🙃

  4. Science!
    They put the bar over the “male” athletes chest…… lmao.

  5. Trans women are most certainly not women. Wtf is going on.

  6. I’m sure the Democrats and Joe Biden will blame this one- on Trump and those “MAGA domestic terrorists”.

    We’ve been told for several years- that a woman is not a woman, and a man is not a man; they are “birthing people”. Now, we are being told that a man who wants to be a woman is a REAL woman. A man who dresses like a woman- is a REAL woman. A man who wants to participate in women’s sports is a REAL woman. Hershey’s Chocolate did an ad for National Women’s Month, using a cross-dressing man- or was it a transgender woman?

    After telling us for the last several years, that we should say “birthing people”- as soon as the Roe v Wade decision leaked, the Democrats and their activists were screaming about a “woman’s choice”, and “women’s rights”.

    Where are the feminists, who fought so hard for women’s rights, and a woman’s choice, women’s equal pay? Oh- that’s right- they are busy fighting for men, who believe that they are the REAL women, who want to participate in women’s sports.

    REAL women have XX chromosomes; REAL men have XY chromosomes. That is a biological FACT. Remember when Kentanji Brown Jackson, our newest Supreme Court Justice- couldn’t give the definition of a woman- during her confirmation hearings? She said the only person who could give the definition of a woman- is a biologist, because she couldn’t give the REAL and TRUE definition of a woman. That would go against the Democrats’s narrative of the definition of a woman, and the activists would have come down on her. Most of those activists, being feminists- who are REAL women, fighting for men who want to be women, or believe that they are women.

    Haven’t the Democrats been telling us all through the pandemic- to listen to the science and scientists? But, now they don’t want us to listen to biology or biologist. They want us to believe their delusions of the truth and facts. This is what the Democrats do, when they have an agenda, at hand. Their delusions become facts, they change the definition of words, or tell you if you use a certain word- you are a racist, homophobe or transphobe. They want to shut down the truth and facts, when it comes to their radical Leftist agendas. They tell you to listen to science, and only a biologist knows the definition of a woman- then they deny what the scientists and biologists are saying, as FACT. This is the alternative universe that they want people to believe in.

    I don’t care what people want to be in their lives, but don’t think you can force the rest of society to deny facts, truth and biology. They made their choice on their gender identity; we KNOW our gender identity. Telling people people over and over again that a male is a female and a female is male- does not change the fact of what determines the male, and what determines a female. THAT is determined by XX and XX chromosomes. When a person dies and their body is found 100 years later, they will not be able to tell anyone their “gender identity”. Their DNA will prove their real gender.

  7. The person on the thumbnail is not a transgender woman. She is biologically female. How dare you use her thumbnail when speaking about transgender people. Shame on you

  8. When a man wants to become a woman could never be a real woman it's all in their head they like to live I lie
    an Apple you you cannot make it into an orange if you say an Apple you cannot call it anything else for what it is

  9. We're at the 7th stage of genocide…..
    People are no longer accepting others how they are or how they perceive themselves.
    It's not right but it's time to hide, for your survival.
    It's wise to blend in during normal times….humans are cruel.

  10. Castor is not a transgender athlete.

  11. They should be banned from all female sports. You should compete in the sport you were born as. You don't give birth have a period or go through Menapause. Have no idea really what it's like to be a woman. Because you decided to be.

  12. hooray. we took the easy way out and caved into the majority acting like they were being oppressed instead of actually trying to think hard for a proper solution and just screwed a bunch of people over and claimed we were being sensible about it when otherwise we wouldn't have given two shits. humanity is saved.

  13. About time . Be transgender just dont expect to ruin real womans sports and contests.

  14. Someone has $$$$ to say no

  15. 🤔 when you suck at a sport basically become Trans and become a Winner 🤦‍♂️

  16. If you're gonna change your sex don't be an athlete.. It's a small ask

  17. They can have their own like the Para Olympics….

  18. Sad it took this long. But finally happening. A person born as a man should NEVER compete against women.

  19. If you have a Y chromosome, you ARE a MAN! Regardless of how you feel. It's that simple!

  20. These people should have never been allowed to participate in the first place these people are mentally unstable and have absolutely no business being around real women hopefully America as a whole is finally waking up to that fact

  21. oh no there are only 2 genders

  22. This is bullshit. Michael Phelps retired owning a division

  23. It should be pointed out that athletes like Castor Semenya is not transgender. She naturally has a XXY chromosome with female genitalia. There are other athletes like her such as Mbomba who naturally have high testosterone. They are different from athletes like Lia Thomas who transitioned after puberty through drugs and surgery.

  24. Finally logic prevails!

  25. why is it always men who identify as woman trying to compete in the women’s category? don’t hear of women who identify as men trying to compete in men’s track/field, powerlifting, swimming, boxing, etc… i feel they are trying to exploit a “loop hole” for personal glory at the expense of biological woman’s sports.

  26. Well we could have shown the woman of the world how to be a woman 😅

  27. Finally thank you. It's simply common sense. Of course we know is not common.

  28. About time some common sense

  29. Common sense prevails. Hope they won’t be cancelling the Olympics.

  30. I just can’t understand why these transgenders don’t just race against other transgenders .

  31. "Waaaah, I want to win" -Lia Thomas

  32. Lia can’t get a second National championship plaque?
