Trump to withhold federal funds from the state of Maine until they stop allowing boys in girls sports

[Marener]

I suppose you're right that an attorney wrote the actual words but you don't seem to understand that Trump is president of the US and can issue executive orders and they become the law until and unless he is sued and the executive order is overturned by a court.

Did you actually graduate high school? If so, how did you miss this bit of obvious trivia?

No. Executive orders are not laws. Trump is not the law, despite his grandiose authoritarian claim that he is.

Taking their spots on teams, taking away scholarships ..

No one is guaranteed a spot on a sports team or a scholarship.

That’s idiotic.

What a ******* cold heartless retard you are.

FOAD

Why? Because a law was passed by Congress to equalize sports opportunities for girls? If your schools cannot adapt, why is it someone else's fault.

You realize this law was implemented in 1972, not the 90s as you claimed earlier. It was implemented in 2005 in my school system in Florida.

Not heartless. Knowledgeable on this because I was a girl's coach for flag football and cross country (both sexes).

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Show some ******* compassion for people.

I should show compassion for people dispossessed by a law passed when I was 11 year-old?

When I was an assistant principal in 2005-6, we had a girl playing defensive back on our boy's football team. Would you prefer she did not have that opportunity?

In the 90's the lawsuits started flying, and even if there wasn't a demand for more women's teams slots, they had to eliminate men's teams so they appeared "equal" in either number or funding.

Again, it was the lawsuits in the 90's that led to colleges having to get rid of their men's teams, even if there was imbalanced demand.

I am talking at the college level.

So? Why didn't the schools fix it like we did?

Very true. That’s called throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Smaller pools of people available who want to play or even can play in Div I sports.

An article on the issue:

Title IX's Impact On Men's Sports

The parents and doctors choose one or the other. My wife's aunt was born intersexed, but they are very rare. Not like the current transgender mental illnesses.

It's almost as though 'very rare' means 'doesn't exist'.

It's almost as though 'very rare' means 'doesn't exist'.

Intersex or any developmental physical issues are actual medical issues.

Most of the current trans craze is a combination of fetish and social contagion.

 

[Rawley]

No one is guaranteed a spot on a sports team or a scholarship.

Well, prior to your ideology taking over, the spot or that scholarship was guaranteed to a girl. Now they are going to boys. The essence of the law in Title IX.

That’s idiotic.

No, idiotic is allowing boys on girls teams and girls competitions and arguing that girls aren't harmed.

Div I is college. If they don't have the money, they can always raise tuition. I am talking high school and so is Trump in this specific instance.

 

[luiza]

Trump has no authority to withhold taxpayer money because of his personal vendetta.

Buffoon .

*What about looking after and respecting your real people and putting them before tampered goods?
* What about effectively discouraging unfairness and cheating ?
*What about Making a real America really Great Again without resorting to helping unfortunate freaks take advantage of non freaks?
What about it ?
