https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dem-congresswoman-kathy-castor-laughs>The Democratic incumbent for Florida’s 14th Congressional District, Rep. Kathy Castor, was all smiles last week as she threw transgender Americans under the bus.>At a candidate forum at the Tampa Tiger Bay Club—a nonpartisan organization that hosts political programming such as this—the group’s Republican treasurer, Art Wood, took aim at trans people with the very first question of the event.>“What is your position on men, biological men, in women’s sports?” he asked, invoking a common pejorative used to describe transgender women and girls. “Are you for it or against it?”>“The answer is no,” Castor said, grinning and laughing. She did not elaborate.>The lone Republican at the dais, Castor’s opponent and former State Rep. Mike Beltran, also decried equal rights for transgender athletes.>Two other Democrats joined the District 14 candidates on stage. Robert People, an Army veteran, is running against GOP incumbent Rep. Laurel Lee in the 15th district, and former Hillsborough County Commissioner Kimberly Overman is challenging the 12th district’s Rep. Gus Bilirakis.>“I’m not sure we’re going to be going through the whole gender test to determine who is going to be in sports,” Overman said. “I think there’s an opportunity to make sure people are able to compete fairly,” she continued, and emphasized the importance of making sure “everybody can actually compete with dignity.”>People concurred. “I’m with my fellow candidate Kimberly Overman, here,” he said, adding there are vanishingly few transgender women competing in sports. “What we don’t want to do, as far as being members of Congress, is put so much more of an emphasis on something that is not an issue when there’s so many more issues that we do need to address [...] Let’s not pretend people are losing sleep over this.”
>>45110914I dont think trans women should be in physical sports since there is an advantage possible and there's no way to weed out trans women that have advantages vs trans women that do not.
>>45110946what if you just gatekeep age started on hrt? it's not like medical records don't exist
>>45110974This is how it was done before the hysteria started.
>>45110946>be 5'5">be 120 lbs>be on 11 years hrt>be current height because osteoporosis shrank me an inchthe fuck are my advantages? how the fuck can you not see, with eyeballs that I don't have a size/weight advantage? goddamn retards ruining my life.
>>45110914STOP TOLERATING FAITH
>>45110946what about cis women with exceptional physical traits?
Democrats suck shit.
>>45111036Reminder 99% of people who oppose trans rights in Congress support Israel at the same time. This is why Palestine = transgender issue.
>>45110914i don’t really think this stuff matters>>45111036i think this stuff matters
>>45111016Why do you need to do sports? Sports isn’t a human right, plenty of people are built in a way they cannot be competitively viable in most sports. What about this, choose one, transition or sports? As a tranny I don’t give a crap about sports compared to being trans.
>>45111071>Why do you need to do sports?Because it's tool to go after trans general>they are not women>therefore no sports>therefore no legal recognition>therefore no bathrooms>therefore no discrimination lawsYou see how that works anon? Ever heard, you give them an inch, they take a mile. When have Republicans ever stopped once? Ever? Did they stop after Roe V Wade was overturned? No it's never right wing enough for them.
>>45111097I don’t think we need bathrooms either, I just use the family restroom which is single occupant
Damn cisfoids really sold you down the river>2010s: RESPECT MY PRONOUNS! THERE ARE 30000 GENDERS AND YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ALL PRONOUNS! DIE CIS SCUM.>2020s: Trannies? never heard of em! No men in womens spaces!
>>45111157>Damn cisfoids really sold you down the riverDem politicans aren't cisfoids, they are literally AIPAC owend shills.
It's LGB now.
>>45111097This is exactly why you're going to lose all your rights. You can't be reasonable.
>>45111119>>45111119>I don’t think we need bathrooms either, I just use the family restroom which is single occupanIf you are fine with being retarded subhuman cattle whose posititon is the same as that of a nigger in 1960's South Africa, that's perfectly alright. I do not want your niggery imposed on me
>>45111016why are you trying to participate in professional competitive sports if you have osteoporosis? are you retarded?
>>45111245Your inability to recognize discrimination both historically and currently is why you’ll continue to get push back.>>45111119Capitulating to oppressors only leads to more oppression>>45110946This wasn’t an issue with intersexed women identifying bodies. You’re making an exception now vs then. Preferably we’d go by if trans contestant started HRT during teens equivalent to their peers; this would rule out bad actors attempting to snake in with her after decades of testosterone affecting their body.
>>45111035I mean I think there's a difference between a trans woman starting hrt after training in sports and developing a male skeletal structure vs a cis woman with higher levels of T or Estrogen Insensitivity, but fundamentally they both have an advantage. Having a male puberty AT ALL is an advantage physically, including if a hypothetical cis women gets it. I think youngshits are fine to enter womens sports since they usually have even less advantage than a cis woman basically what >>45110974 said.
>>45111296I should have said that anyone who had a male puberty should be barred from women's sports. Youngshits should have virtually no advantage
>>45111245Read this article you fat obese retard.https://www.wbur.org/npr/1249406353/transgender-bathroom-bill-republican-states
Womanoids don't want to compete against their betters
>>45111061jewish lives matter
>>45111314That supports my point not yours you dumb tranny. If trannies hadn't been completely unreasonable and insisted that a major platform of leftism would be letting boys cheat in girls sports conservatives would have continued not giving a shit about them.
>>45111290>Your inability to recognize discrimination both historically and currentlyTrannies want discrimination, between men and women, they just want to be on a different side of it. Well, you need to pass. No way around that. Trannies don't actually need any rights. If you look like the opposite sex you'll get treated like it, and if you don't, deal with it.
>>45111901>s conservatives would have continued not giving a shit about them.that is not even remotely accurate to what happened. what happened in 2015 supreme court ruling on same-sex marriage and conservatives were like "we need a new punching bag to get votes"
>>45112015this doesn't even make sense on the face of it, america always had trannies, they were much better accepted than gays, being a tranny was never a liberal-conservative culture war issue in the first placeconservatives almost completely ignored trannies until they were beyond intolerable while democrats were tied up in absolute orgies of tranny worship and it took until 2024!!! for any anti-tranny national political campaigning to take place (which is the reason trump won)i know this because i was there, the number of conservatives who had trannies on their radar before about 2022 was very, very limited and confined to social media
>>45112015>>45112068also, reminder that conservatives in america are still objectively pro-trannythey aren't even talking about a nationwide ban on minor transition, the single most repulsive thing trannies and leftists are doing, that's how far removed conservatives are from even opposing trannies
>>45112085the leadership in all the big organizations driving the right has openly stated they want to ban transition for anyone at any age
>>45112085>I don't oppose trannies, I just oppose HRT
>>45112091where's the legislation then?republicans have been in power for ages, why haven't they fucking banned child transition?it's because they still don't even care. american "conservatives" are libertarian fake conservatives.
>>45112120brohttps://translegislation.com/trump even signed an executive order for people UNDER 19 YEARS OLD (as in, 18 year old legal adults too) and federal funding because it was the closest he could swing unilaterally, and legal or not it has been effectively enforced
>>45112068>, they were much better accepted than gays,This is laughably untrue. Trans people in New York City in the early 2000s were being sent to women's prisons if they had not underwent SRS to get gang raped.
>>45112085people on this board really live in a fantasy world
>>45112170did you ignore the per state laws that have made it impossible for both minors and in many cases adults of any age, though more often up through age 25, to access gender-affirming care legally?
>>45112170>if the government was serious about this issue they'd do some retarded shit that no one would ever do because it's retarded
idiots like this are good for exposing what's actually going on
>>45112180>per stateby this argument, the US prior to the civil war was opposed to slavery because it was banned in some places
>>45112198what argument? what?
>>45112085no one believes you anymore bro, people can interact with conservatives themselves and hear what their “thought-leaders” are saying
>>45112185a national federal criminal ban on transitioning kids is not retarded, just the baseline for actually being opposed to this shit.trump and the republicans have not done this despite having time to do a whole lot of truly retarded shit and are therefore basically pro-tranny.
>>45112215you're so gay that you got fucked in the ass by a ladybug you're gay as fuck dude
>>45112233dubs of truth
>>45110946Girl should not be allowed to play sports if they've taken testosterone and that goes for trans women, if they experience it in puberty
>>45111044>Reminder 99% of people who oppose trans rights in Congress support Israel at the same time.Oy vey, the trannoyim are noticing!
>>45112457now do soros and the pritzkers
>>45112497george soros is banned from entering israel
>>45112507nice fact, pity you made it up
lol do retards ITT seriously think estrogen gives you a physical advantage? its the opposite dipshits
>>45112803a man on estrogen is not at an advantage over other men, but he still is against womenit's amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand things
>>45112820>leftist discourseme when im schizophrenic and can only repeat one liners from xitter
>>45112820>It's amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand thingsT. Retard who doesn't know how hormones work
>>45112837>t.ranny who doesn't know how hormones work
>>45111016no one careseveryone hates youthe more you choose to keep pushing this topic, the more people will line up against youi personally hope you maintain that exact same masculine aggressive energy while trying to bully people into letting you compete as a "woman" in women's sports>>45111245is 100% correct and i love ityou're too mentally ill and autistic to to approach these issues with anything resembling tact and every time we get a new video of some deranged freak shrieking about being "misgendered" or someone has to sit and watch as their daughter loses a sports competition to a man in a dress, we get new convertsi love that you can see democrats starting to turn against you and still reject that wake up callkeep going the way you're going and we'll have you in camps by the end of the decade
>>45112803the advantage isn't from estrogen, it's from being born a manmen are objectively superior to women in every aspect of physical abilitygiving a man estrogen for a couple years doesn't come close to negating the massive biological advantage of being a fucking man
>>45111016>>be 5'5">>be 120 lbsThat's not true for most trannies.
>>45111290>Capitulating to oppressors only leads to more oppressionIf the thing you want oppresses others (female sports, female sex segregation), you're imposing and not capitulating.
>>45112141Brain doesn't stop developing until 26
>>45114542The brain never stops developing, that 'duh nuh uh you grow up at 25' shit is a myth and widely discredited.
>>45110914Kathy should kill herself, dumb bitch
>>45113295>sharing the same space is oppressingYou sound no different than white people crying about desegregation.
the solution is to abolish sexed/gendered categories in sports. or just ban w*men from sports entirely. why should we coddle a group of people that clearly can't compete?
>>45113034>it's from being born a manOy vey Lindsey Clancy choked her kid in self defence, since it could easily choke her to death instead!! All males are rapists!!
