You claim youre very aware of them. Very well. You fell short though of making the case that the commission is needed.

Let me guess...you've never even were aware of it's existence until Trump put the final nail in it's coffin? I've never heard of it. But, it seems it's only been in existence for less than 25 years, and has a spotty history. I think we'll get by without it.

Do I need to go through EVERY sport to see if it gives biological males an advantage over biological females? Could have said Horse Racing, Luge, almost any of the downhill Winter sports. No. Actually you didn't need to list any of them. I didn't ask you to, and it's irrelevant.

I was speaking of the sports that you said there was no advantage. You were incorrect on some. Subee is the one who mentioned chess and poker. I'm not sure why so many mentions of such activities...

You misunderstood, but let me work with this. Some teams play in a division against younger players. Either the tournament is on the honor system or the player uses a birth certificate of a younger cousin, sibling, etc. I guess they do this for some kind of competitive advantage to feel good about themselves. That's same same thing as a male playing in a female division when the male division was available to them. They're doing it to in some matter feel good about themselves.

If there was a separate division in a league or tournament established for players over seven feet tall, then I would say that is where the seven footers should play. I'm a youth basketball coach. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for teams with older players to enter a tournament in a younger age division. It seems you'd be OK with that. Why shouldn't a male athlete be barred from competing in the female division when there is a male division available to compete in? Why can't they compete with the males? Please share your rationale on this. While I don't follow it closely any longer, I've been a drag race fan my entire life. I've seen Shirley Muldowney back in the day and have seen many woman that have followed her. It is a sport, but not one that requires athletic ability. And, I'm not sure what your point is in bringing it up.

I wonder if you or @GrumpyRN ever do any homework before making assertions on things you know nothing about? Men do indeed have an advantage in some of those sports mentioned. And, no one considers chess or poker to be athletic competition.

So, $500k minus all those big expenses. That's not a subtle difference.

Actually, I could more specifically provide sources, and maybe I still will when I have a chance. But, to be honest I think you're being disingenuous when you say you are unaware of anyone claiming that transgender rights took a hit from the SCOTUS decision.

I've seen an NBC headline and a handful of videos made by elected democrats saying what a blow the decision was to transgender rights. I've also seen where they've lied and said that the decision means transgenders can't participate in sports. Sounds like you agree with me that they are lying.

Trump has no power over FIFA. The World Cup in the USA has not been the failure you or @nursej22 and others predicted. https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/german-world-cup-fan-breaks-down-tears-blown-away-kindness-americans

Do you understand that the USA team was ranked 17th in the world when the WC started. They would have qualified if they had to play their way in. Do you understand that In the last month the USA has won three World Cup matches while before being sent home the Scots won their third World Cup match since 1982?

I believe that's how most feel. I'm also having a hard time thinking of sports where strength or speed doesn't matter.

Where and under what circumstances do you make $500k a year as a NP?

I agree that the safety argument is bunk. But, that doesn't come close to the liberal BS that rights are being taken away by this SCOTUS decision. Please explain what rights are being taken away.

How about high school sports and younger? Yes, I've heard the BS from some Dems about "intrusive testing". Why would there be a need for intrusive testing? Everyone needs a birth certificate to attend school, and a recent medical exam to participate in sports. You've misrepresented what the ballot initiate is. And, is a different issue. Never the less, I would be against it. Hopefully, common sense will prevail there too and it'll get voted down. The "creepy coaches" statement is a strawman. Kids and everyone else should be concerned about creepy coaches as well as creepy teachers, counselors, doctors, nurses, cops, childcare workers, etc. There are creeps in every profession that interacts with children.

A lot of nonsensical speculation you make off of one sentence. Anyway, David said every provider he's visited in the past has wanted to do HIV testing. Later he said that assuming a gay person is higher risk HIV is homophobic. Following that logic, the providers must all be homophobic. So, just asking why that would be? How did you Scots enjoy the World Cup? One goal in 3 games? Well, it was nice that they came.

Went do you think American Healthcare providers are homophobic?

Predictable, indeed. And, predictably things would be different if the dress code required them to wear the name of a pro-life organization on their jersey, wouldn't it?

And what was forfeiting the game in the first place?

You Brits have a unusual sense of humor.

They could gave simply been allowed to wear a regular jersey. The only reason to forfeit the game was to punish the team. I can only magine if a team forfeited because they refused to wear pro-life jerseys. https://broadandliberty.com/2026/06/22/jeremy-samek-cancel-culture-literally-cancels-the-york-revolution-baseball-game/
