Will Biden support women's rights or imaginary "trans rights"?

Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Republican Oklahoma Rep. Markwayne Mullin introduced legislation that would clarify Title IX protections for female athletes as based on biological sex, a press release said Thursday.

The “Protect Women’s Sports Act” recognizes the different abilities conferred by biological sex, the statement says. Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal funding.

“Title IX was a historic provision championed by Hawaii’s own Congresswoman Patsy Mink in order to provide equal opportunity for women and girls in high school and college sports,” Gabbard said in the statement. “It led to a generational shift that impacted countless women, creating life-changing opportunities for girls and women that never existed before.”

“However, Title IX is being weakened by some states who are misinterpreting Title IX, creating uncertainty, undue hardship and lost opportunities for female athletes. Our legislation protects Title IX’s original intent which was based on the general biological distinction between men and women athletes based on sex,”

Attorney General William Barr became involved in the Connecticut lawsuit in March, when he signed a statement of interest arguing the policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in high school sports “deprives those women of the single-sex athletic competitions that are one of the marquee accomplishments of Title IX.”

Tulsi Gabbard rips critics calling her ‘transphobic’ amid Congressional exit
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tulsi-gabbard-critics-transphobic-congressional-exit

Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard hit back at critics of legislation she’s introduced to prevent transgender women from competing in female sports and for the care of infant survivors of late-term abortion, calling them “hypocrites.”

A number of people called Gabbard, who leaves Congress this month, “transphobic” and a “right wing s—t heel” on Twitter, among other invectives.

“I welcome real criticism and debate,” Gabbard (D-Hawaii) told The Post Saturday. “But my so-called critics don’t want to debate the issues. They just want to engage in smears and slurs and name-calling and innuendo.”

Gabbard, 39, who decided to leave Congress last year to focus on her failed presidential bid, said she is “maximizing” the time she has left in office and said she fears for the U.S.

“Identity politics is having an incredibly destructive effect on our country rather than recognizing what connects all Americans,” she said. “It’s being done to help people and parties get in power and stay in power by pitting individual Americans against each other.”

[guy wearing earrings disagrees!]

But LBGTQ rights advocate Charlotte Clymer was one of numerous activists who called the legislation “blatantly transphobic.” She accused Gabbard supporters of using trans people as “bargaining chips.”

Well, we see where that went. Harris and Waltz's train done left the tran station in Minn.

Excellent! Hopefully the bill will succeed. Biological males are always welcome to participate in men's sports, where they belong.

I agree 1000%!

So the freedom and liberty loving opposition thinks that big government should interfere with sports and dictate who can't compete with who, where and when?

WT actual F?

Yup, there all for "keep the government out of our lives" but it needs to get all up into the shit of unwhite hyphenated pseudo-americans.

I'm really familiar with this game, since my wife pulls this shit on me constantly. Let's reframe your statement as:

So the freedom and liberty loving Democratic party thinks that big government should interfere with sports and dictate who can(emphasis on CAN not CAN'T) compete with who, where and when?

Interesting how suddenly the context shifted towards the Democratic party being the freedom denying meddlers just by changing a few words, isn't it? The media is almost as skilled at this as my wife.

How exactly could a democrat govt dictate that you must compete with anyone about anything? You are not obligated to compete at all.
