Oh no. The liberals aren’t happy with their own doings? 🤣

good!

I remember when Republicans rallied against frivolous lawsuits.

Go girls. This is ridiculous!

Good. I hope they win.

Good!, I hope they win.

At last, they're fighting back! I have heard some opine that the fathers of these young athletes, especially at the high school level,should be leading the charge to defend their daughters against this BS. Can't say I disagree.

If transgenders are allowed to compete in physical sports I will enter the Westminster dog show identify as a dog (bitch) and honestly transgenders can and should be able to compete in sports like race car and tobagen stuff like that not physical contact sports or swimming

Let's see, allow trannies to play and piss off 98% of female athletes or don't allow trannies to play and piss off the .0003% of athletes that identify as such. The Democrat mind is a bizarre thing.

Everything is being robbed! The American people, gender, health, it's RIDICULOUS. Can't we just be normal or is that a forbidden concept now?

Puzzles me how women have fought for equal rights for many many years now and now they are letting males take it away from us!

I am praying for a win for you girls! This is so unfair what they trying to do.

Awesome. Pray they win

Good
