House to Vote Against Transgender Athletes

[ClydeR]

House Republicans were set to vote Thursday on a bill to bar transgender women and girls from playing on athletic teams that correspond with their gender identity, a key campaign promise that Democrats denounced as cruel and discriminatory.

"For thousands of years in human history, we have recognized as a species that there are women and there are men who are obviously biologically different," the measure's chief sponsor, Rep. Greg Steube, R.-Fla., said during floor debate Wednesday. "Yet over the last several years there has been a perversion in our culture by the enemy, and the left completely embraced the lie to erase the lines of gender and to convince you ... gender is fluid and can be whatever you want."

It's becoming an issue in many sports. Recently, a man dressed as a women beat top ranked female players in a national chess championship. Congress needs to act to prevent something like that from happening in this country.

Stanley Omondi participated in the Kenya Open Chess Championship dressed as a female in a full niqab and made his way through the tournament until he competed against Gloria Jumba and Ampaira Shakira, according to news.au.com. Omondi was able to beat both Jumba, a former national champion, and Shakira, a top player from Uganda, which raised suspicions.

"One of the red flags we also noticed [was] the shoes, he was wearing more masculine shoes, than feminine," he added to BBC Sport. "We also noticed he was not talking, even when he came to collect his tag, he couldn't speak, ordinarily, when you are playing, you speak to your opponent... because playing a chess game is not war its friendship."

Officials reportedly were afraid to call out Omondi at first in fear of accusations of profiling, but when they did call him out, he came clean.

Omondi registered as Millicent Awour. He admitted to his transgression in a letter, saying he had "financial needs."

Why is it only a problem with a dude becomes a chick and plays sports and suddenly dominates.. but you never hear of a chick becoming a dude and dominating men at physical competitions?

Just keep ignoring the science and common sense.

^ I hope this type of trolling keeps happening as long as it's being allowed.

The bill passed the House today, but just barely. If it passes the Senate and is signed by the President, it will prevent biological boys from competing in girls' chess tournaments, as I posted about earlier, as well as other sports. But it will not prohibit biological girls from competing in boys' chess tournaments and other sports.

No one is against transgender athletes. People are against men competing against women in women’s sports.

Stop being disingenuous.

Yes. That is what every normal person is saying.. that the tranny boys are destroying girls in chess and it needs to stop.

Stop being such a pussy.

Except that chess is not a sport. That’s a totally invalid & terrible example.

I suspect that you used chess because you are aware that does not require physical exertion, and you are also aware (but won’t state the obvious truth) there are differences in the sexes which give biological males a significant advantage over biological females in sports. This is something we as humans have understood for thousands of years.

sport
/spôrt/
noun
1. an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

Edit: also, my offer still stands if you ever want to get pwned in chess.

Chess most certainly is a sport. Since you've said you play chess, you're an athlete!

The International Chess Federation (FIDE) is the governing body of the sport of chess, and it regulates all international chess competitions.

Here's Magnus' working out. As the number one chess grandmaster, he is, by definition, one of the world's leading athletes. Look at his poise and balance..

Disagree.

Words have definitions.

For example, men are adult males who were born with a cock.

I respectfully disagree, chess is indeed a sport, and by your definition, you can see the grey area involved.
A sport is a contested event, while physical exertion is needed by your definition, it comes by, how much physical exertion is required to be classified as a sport. That’s the problem.
Exertion is the physical or perceived use of energy.

Wouldn’t moving a chess piece be considered this? Lol
