Former NFL Coach on Why She Opposes Idaho Law Targeting Transgender Athletes | NBC News NOW
I identify as a giraffe, that still doesn't mean I am one.
Women's sports is for biological women and biological girls, not for biological men.
You’re not a woman. You’re a man. Someone has to say it.
“Perhaps more surprising was that the transgender women did not lose strength at all despite inhibited testosterone production. In addition, the effect on muscle mass of the transgender women was less pronounced than many people previously thought, losing only 5% of the muscle volume over the thigh muscles†(Karolinska Institutet)
I’ve been told that hormone therapy “should†bring muscles mass and strength down to average female levels, but it doesn’t. Biological men have 40% more muscle mass than women on average, and hormones only decrease muscle mass by 13%, even after 3 years.
I agree that every child deserves to play sports! I don’t even think we should have “trans only teamsâ€ÂÂâ€â€Âthat doesn’t sit right with me. But cis women should be able to win a gold medal too, and science shows that cis women’s muscle composition pales in comparison to trans women’s muscle comp.
Men who surgically change their physical appearance should not be allowed to play on girls teams that is a matter of physical safety for the girls, they should have their own areas separate to women in womens prisons, refuges etc., the safety of women and girls must not be comprised to suit a minute section of the population and those whose trans is in their minds, the safety of trans must be taken seriously alongside but not above anyone else's safety thats my opinion
These are the woke politics that could sink the democratic party. I voted for Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Clinton, Biden.
But not for this
Moron
What a confusing mess.
Um, because the coach wants to change its name to Bill, perhaps?
It's not fair for biological women, to have to compete against someone born a male. You're getting rid of womens sports, if you let this happen. Listen to the science , there are so many differences in body and bone structure when you are born a male. It's just not fair for the bio women who were born women and want to compete against other women. Sorry Trans people sports just aren't fair . You all can do pretty much anything you want but if you're born a guy even if you identify as a woman and take drugs you're still a trans woman and you're still different from biological women, so it's not fair to take over their sport, you all should see that yourselves. Just compete against the gender you were born as , or start another league for people that transition. That's the only fair thing to do.

I think that if you are born male/ female play in the sport of your born male/female. It’s not far to all the born females to have a born male playing in the same sports. Boys should play with boys. And girls should play with girls.
This is great… Dwayne Wade 6'4" 215. His son can now play in the WNBA…..great. And all male soccer players who didn't make world cup team, can now join the women's team. And if you can't make the US National track and field team…. Just join the women's. There's riches and glory to be had by all.
The comments make me fear for humanity. How are people so cruel and mean?
T-genders have always been in female sports
I believe trump is a female ok I'll stop there
She is wrong you don’t have to be on her side there is another solution.
Add another division that offers more kids opportunities.
Why can’t they add a different division. An inclusive group for trans athletes. More scholarships and more sports to watch.
I've left the democratic party. I re-registered independent a few days ago because I just can't get on board with the whole anti-woman, anti-childhood agenda being pushed by the left now. Putting males in female sports and beginning social gender transitions at 3? Double masectomies on 15 year olds?? https://thevelvetchronicle.com/double-mastectomy-at-15-detrans-16-year-old-now-seeks-reversal/
Too much for me.
Oh man. How bad a football team do you have to be to have a female coach? When publicity is your goal you know you're screwed.
I am a woman now hoping to make the WNBA I can do it.
300+ US HS boys in 2020 ran a 100 meter dash faster than the all time women's record. Boys are fifferent
Quite a slanted interview, and I'm guessing they wouldn't bother to interview any women who were just destroyed in a competition by a trans female.
Every time this woman says something about sports not being about who wins or who loses, one should wonder if she would have preferred the 49ers won the Super Bowl (I'm assuming that's the team she was some kind of 'coach' on that went to the SB). One should also wonder why NBC News didn't ask such an obvious question, other than the obvious, this is a softball interview attempting to make viewers agree with them.
Her argument is, "You need to listen to me and 'leaders' who agree with me."
How about asking sportswomen if they're happy to have trans women competing in their sports? On this issue the virtue signalling lefties and liberals think that women should keep quiet and do as their told. Selective misogyny.
Eating a rug?
Beast just like all these negative comments, that's the mark,pay them no mind proceed forward in good faith, now you know what the mark is ,the snares in the garden
Usually I lean pretty liberal on most issues but I just don't see how its fair to allow a genetic male to compete against genetic females in an event where size and muscle is an advantage.
In this debate there is no issue that men and women do and should compete separately. So why not recognize the need for a new category? We don't have special needs peeps compete with non special needs(🤷â€ÂÂ♂︠no idea what to call it). Why not have a special category?
Weak and disgusting USA
Why not create three categories for compititon:
Male
Female
Neutra or mixed teamsl. Co-ed came to mind. Like college dorms
Weomes equal pay and trans peeps playing is not the same thing.
Ignoring reality is harmful
Pretending that being born female is the equivalent with being born male, identifying as female, and having superficial body modifications is harmful to both females and trans.
Also not being equivalent in this case refers to apples and oranges not greater than less than.
So pretty much this man woman is trying to take the excitement in natural winning out of sports
Cis gender females do not have a physical advantage that trans females have. If you’ve gone through puberty as a male, you’ve developed physically different, in the case of more muscle mass, a larger heart and a larger adrenal gland, all of which help with athleticism, but none of which can be removed. That’s why the Olympics tests for hormone levels, because science has proven this advantage, which the Olympics commission has tried to combat with at least 18 months of hormone therapy. It is not fair that prospective college bound women athletes have their scholarship opportunities taken away by a transgender athlete who has not spent as much time training and is breaking records in women’s sports, which is happening and at these huge margins. What are cis females suppressed to do? Train harder? Who is protecting cis gender rights?
The law is rooted in hate ,take it national see the Military Support for transgender people ,Katie needs national support nevermind the beast-man who opposes equality for all ,equilty leads to Unity which leads to the evolution of a species , the human being is one race,one species (Universal Law) "love thy neighbor" ,the Anti science,hate filled seed of humanity ,is the obstruction to peace on Earth
yet another reason (reason #1236348484735263637) why Idaho will never have me as a resident. NOPE! (Keep your “ultra conservative†utopia, personally, I don’t want it)
sorry if you where a dude at one point you gonna have a huge benefit in women's sports
Just make up a union league thats and sexs can play simple solution
April fools?
trans still has their original bone structure somehow that's why i don't support them joining physical spots, but if it's not physical spots i don't mind
A male to female still has the bone structure of a male trying to compete with born females
MtF athletes have no business competing in female sports.
