Transgender girls and women would be barred from participating in sports on the team that aligns with their gender identity under a proposed Arizona law.

Similar legislation has been proposed in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, New Hampshire, Tennessee and Washington state, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Several national women's rights and sports organizations are pushing back, saying in a letter distributed by the American Civil Liberties Union that barring transgender people from sports teams aligning with their gender identity often means they are “excluded from participating altogether." Conservative groups are also pushing bills that would bar doctors from providing them certain gender-related medical treatment.

This isn't 'anti-transgender' it's pro common sense.

Makes sense.

Well I’m assuming that goes for the men as well . Men not someone trying to be something else

Finally good sens prevails! World IS binary....

Yeah. Well they’re really guys aka males.

Outstanding! Give them their own league and stop degrading women’s sports

Bought time states started passing these laws, this is common sense.

The transgender girls will take over scholarships-mean for biological girls thus it is a fair ruling. A new league will be needed for transgender competitions so everyone’s rights are protected at no expenses of anyone.

Yes please know your sex between your legs!!

Fuck yeah. PainIsComing

The don’t see this as a problem because a genetically male person would most likely dominate. Maybe sports should be reduced to the club level and just played for fun

Ban is wrong, but prerequisites are appropriate. 2 years on hormones to switch, means transition at 14-15 to make varsity teams. HRT monitoring and blood levels can be submitted.

As they should. The sex separation in sports has nothing to do with any identity. It is all about physical differences.

Good. It’s your gender that states weather you participate in a male or female sport. That is a physical reality. Gender identity is of the mind. Men have more physical strength over woman. It’s not fair to the boys and girls that participate in their own programs. Stop the bull

Humanity is in trouble when you have to have laws to enforce basic common sense!

That’s fair

Why wants to become backward deeper

Love it. Reality is making a comeback.

I’m all for trans acceptance HOWEVER if you have a penis you are still biologically male and shouldn’t be allowed to play on a female team.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Their real gender or their fake one?

That you would need a law proves we have serious problems.

It’s lunacy that we even have to pass laws to protect our young women from this crap.

Ah good and about time common sense was applied.

GOOD! About time some sense and reason reentered the decision making process.

Having a biological male compete in women's sports is no different than allowing women to take testosterone hormones and other performance enhancing supplements. Do we really want sports figures to be doping?

That's the way it should be. Biological males should not compete in sports against women. It's an unfair advantage. Please stop the push to normalize pedophilia. People will never accept it, it's sick behavior.

Good idea!

As they should. Time to leave crazy town people.

Sorry I'm okay if people transition but I think that this is an okay rule

This is 100% the right thing to do! Save women’s sports!

I love my State!❤️

That's because transgender girls are boys

Good. Why should men be allowed to dominate women’s sports? How is this fair to girls/women? Why should we even have different sports for males and females. We might as well just have sports where everyone competes. And if girls can’t cut it, should they can go back to cooking?

Common sense laws...

Protecting woman athletes from having to compete with guys... I think that's a good idea.

The first state to step up to save female sports.

About time! 🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good thing we got the ERA passed, huh?

In other words, biological males will not be able to compete against biological females?

Cool now do church and state

You betcha!

Fair and equitable - time to form transgender leagues and let them they those compete equally amongst themselves

Control.

They’ll have to play with the team that aligns with their sex. Not that complicated, really.

We should end all gender discrimination in sports. No men's or women's teams... just let everyone compete and see what happens.

Oh come on. If girls want to be considered equal they should have to compete with boys.

Why would they want a guy to play on a women’s team?

So does this mean the girls that start as dudes, or dudes that start as girls... very confusing

Even boxing?

Sounds reasonable.

Yay about time someone got some sense!

👏👏👏👏 In other words, it PROTECTS girls!! Thank you!!

Ok sounds fair

Protecting girls/women’s sports is the right thing to do. Finally some common sense

You think! I could have made my girls basketball team if I transgendered.

Arizona can GFTS.

Yep

They cannot measure horomones, should comply within a specific range?

...so the dudes will have to play with dudes? How horrible 🙄

Thank god. This shit has gotten out of hand. Too bad this isn’t federal.

They can always compete in sports based upon their actual gender.

Typical fascist Arizona

It is infuriating to see this homophobic attitude based on religious beliefs and attitudes being converted into law. Clearly unconstitutional, but, equally important, anti freedom !

“Girls’ and women’s sports kept men-free under proposed Arizona law”. There. I fixed it for you.

about time.

Good

Good!

Biased, left-wing reporting that in no way fact checks the pseudo-science of gender identity. Yes, there is a biological basis to gender; it is not chose at will or random.

I wouldn’t want my daughter wrestling a biological male who decided to change their identity. You can change all you want , not my problem, but it is a problem when it gets in between of what is fair and what isn’t

Good!!!!

Good!

Men would be barred from participating in sports with women. Less complicated when you say it that way.

They are enjoying barring people from everything.

GOOD !!!!

fantastic, born a man , participate as a man. more women need to stand up for fairness in sports.. all you have is a confused male ,, beating up on women,, not fair..

Impressive! Arizona says thank you Nancy👍

Good, because girls are girls and boys are boys. I wish NancyBarto was my representative.

Sounds logical that a human born a male would dominate in most sports requiring strength

They kind of have a point 🤷‍♂️

As it should be. Where are all the feminists who should be speaking out against trans “women” competing against women?

Good. Men should not be able to participate in women's sports.

Good!

This needs to happen in all 50 states.

Great! It's sad we even need a law for this. It should be commonsense. Trans people single themselves out by stepping so far outside the box.

Somebody got smart.

Be whoever you want to be, but don't affect fair competition. This is common sense.

Well its fair

Again? These so-called AZ legislatures with their 'bills' don't represent all Arizonans-they certainly don't represent me...

Good news for women Athletes.

I am so confused about gender sexuality. How does it come about. That part of biology idk. I understand the x an y chromonzones. It appears that some people can be on the outside one gender but can have an extra chromosome of the opposite sex. But idk about completion though

I choose to identify as a pineapple

US Sharia law

Good. So not fair for a girl to have to run against a boy with mental problems

How big of a problem is this? Based on news coverage of this topic you would think half of the girls in high school are boys.

Because a dude throw on a dress HIS testosterone levels doesnt drop one decimal. Which is a huge advantage over girls. Duh

The only problem I see is that such a law is even necessary to mandate what ought to be common sense.

I truly can’t believe this country is even having this conversation. No matter what you want to be, you are what you were born. To debate whether or not males should be competing against females is absurd. Thanks libs!

It's a matter of fairness as too many examples have demonstrated.

Good

antiwhitehate I sense that this tweet is written as if that's a bad thing. This is real progress. You can have your weird delusional fantasies, but it shouldn't encroach on normal people living their lives.

Jesus never turned anyone away. Sad to see so many people full of so much hate. This isn’t America anymore.

finally some good news

Even if the transgender girls take hormones which reduce muscle & the transgender dudes take hormones that build muscle?

TRANS TEAMS

I firmly believe everyone has the right to be treated equally and fairly no matter how they identify. But.. People born with xx and xy chromosomes have different physiologies. This needs to be taken into account in this instance.

How many records have been broken by girls, that use to be boys? Is that really fair for a biological girl in the same sport? That is the REAL war on women & most here are cheering for it.

Arizona. Always leading the way in stupidity.

So?

Good.. friendly reminder of the ufc fighter who got her skull cracked

We need to protect women’s sport...

Transgender girls need their own category to compete in.

Some real Female Athletes depend on scholarships ... I don’t think it’s fair when women who use to be men compete in female sports

This is ridiculous. Of all of the urgent issues facing the world this is how these people spend their time and authority. This isn't even an ethical or moral deficiency. These people cannot be functioning on a normal psychological level.

Sounds good to me.

They must've forgotten it's a presidential election year and that AZ is turning more blue by the day.

The fact that this is news is truly mindblowing. This is really where we are as a society? Everyone hates the T's.

Makes perfect sense.
