The IOC doesn’t make the
eligibility rules, the international sport federations do. They each have their own rules about trans participation. IOC only issues guidance.

@maddow.msnbc.com Come see our weekly rallies in Gettysburg PA. We had 600+ a couple of weeks ago, in a town of 8k. We have permits for every Saturday. Gettysburg is undefeated against traitors! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Governor says Natalie Cline is embarrassment to school board, state of Utah Utah State Board of Education member Natalie Cline is facing criticism for a recent social media post involving student athletes and the transgender community.

And that has nothing to do with banning kids from middle school track, local fun runs and JV softball. Read a book. Watch the video. Nobody is arguing for trans athletes in pro sport ya dipshit. Your side does want to inspect little girls’ crotches ans harass tomboys tho kutv.com/news/local/e...

Literally taking about children at a fun run, second string JV softball catcher and you’re like- ban those kids! More kids have measles than are trans in sport. Kids are more likely to face gun violence than a trans athlete. Get a life. stop picking on kids. Your side: kutv.com/news/local/e...

Thanks for sharing info. If you’re doing any work that requires sport and gender knowledge, hit me up. Trying to do our part to challenge this transphobic shit.

One thing @lastweektonight.com missed - teen girls drop out of sport at twice rate of boys (Tucker Center UMinn, 2018). #1 reason = body image insecurities. What does it do to have an entire movement scrutinizing girls' bodies for being too masculine? THIS is the biggest harm to all girls in sport.

Excellent analysis by @lastweektonight.com. A reminder that policing girls' bodies will cause far more harm than any trans kid in sport is causing. Girls drop out of sport b/c of body image, stop scrutinizing them! Dems must call out the creeps obsessing over kids' genitalia, go on offense.

Nailed it! One note- Biden admin proposed policy guidance in line with his key points. Scaffold restrictions based on age, level of competition, type of sport. Dems have failed to get their messaging together on this issue. They should attack- Call out the creeps policing girls' bodies. 1/2

Yes, but trans kids are being used as a weapon. Here, it’s just to rile the base. In education, trans kids are being used to break down services and protections for kids w disabilities. It’s eugenics in action. Sick.

Dems need a better response. Go on the attack and call out these bullies for what they are- grown adults obsessed with girls’ genitals and half of them end up getting caught with their pants down. Don’t make it about trans kids, make it about the adults targeting all kids.

How much money, time and resources do we spend on this instead of preventing the literally thousands of sexual assaults on girls and women in sport in Maine during that same time period? Do you get it now?!?!?!!! You’re on the wrong side

They are children who want to play games. Let them play! It’s not their responsibility to regulate the ridiculous fears of adults.

Utah official falsely suggests teen student is transgender, now faces calls to resign Utah State School Board Member Natalie Cline is facing calls to resign after she suggested a girl playing on a high school basketball team was transgender on Facebook.

3/ Here’s what happens in the MAGA trans panic vigilante world. Little girls and tomboys get bullied online by public officials. It’s open season on all girls who aren’t perfectly feminine but like sports. abcnews.go.com/US/utah-scho...

2/ What Dems should do is come out attacking the crazed genital police of MAGA officials wanting to judge girls’ bodies and how dangerous it is to their safety. 1 in 2 female athletes is sexually assaulted, almost decisively by heterosexual cis males. And now MAGA wants men to review girls bodies?

Some good points about the crap Dem response on this issue. Biden’s DOE recommended restrictions on trans athletes in varsity HS and
College sports. That’s fair. But nobody talked about it! MAGA crushed on this issue Youth/school sport is not for records/completion & should be accessible to all. 1/

Not altogether wrong, but mind you these are children. The point of school sport is social development, not records. 4 trans girls over 8 years in Maine, so calm down. Here is the real danger, from anti trans activists: abcnews.go.com/US/utah-scho...

I got to be on a panel with brilliant/influential leaders at the UN #CSW69 women’s commission meetings in NYC. We talked #GBV in sport, including online harassment and the role of coaches in preventing abuse. We can and must do better, esp in this political climate.

I have studied girls/women’s sport for 20+ years. Teen girls drop out of sport at 2x rate of boys. Why? Top reason is body image insecurity. So policing girl bodies for feminine ideal, public bullying of a child by officials bc she has a β€œbigger build” is WAY more harm than any trans kid is causing.

For context, Maine has a review process for transgender kids in school sport. From 2013-2021 there were exactly 4 trans girls in sport. Meanwhile, this is what we get from
MAGA leaders doing vigilante policing of girls in sport. abcnews.go.com/US/utah-scho... 1/2
