What if I am ambivalent about Ukraine but thinking ending the war as soon as possible, but more importantly, spending the least amount of American money is the best policy to follow?
Your wobbly difference is what dictators like Putin and Xi rely on to crush the weakening West, while they clap their hands in glee at our self destructive promoting of child mutilation.

"The legislation is sponsored by state Rep. Jena Powell, who claims that transgender women have physical advantages over those assigned female at birth, claiming transgender women have greater lung capacity, larger hearts, higher red blood cell counts, stronger tendons and ligaments, greater muscle strength, and increased bone density."
Claims?
As if there isn't a mountain of science to support all of this?
"Claims" suggests this is a position, an opinion or a debate.
Regardless, I did respond to the question at the end so I could see the results. At the time 514 people had responded.
Do you generally support or oppose laws that ban transgender people from participating in sports based on their assigned sex at birth?
85% strongly support these laws
4% Somewhat support
2% Somewhat oppose
7% Strongly oppose
1% have no opinion
Exactly how many male teenagers in Ohio schools have transitioned into a female? Of those, how many actually play high school sports? 0.0001%?
Sounds like a lot of fear mongering...which the right does all the time.
The problem isn't the handful of transgenders competing. The problem is the 1 or 2 transgenders winning against actual females. You might as well get rid of male and females sports completely.
I am all for having 3 divisions: male, female, transgender.
Even a transgender who has undergone complete reassignment and has had months or years of hormone replacement will have a giant biological advantage over a born female. You do realize male and female bone structure is different and you can't change it?
My hero Donald Trump, he'll put a stop to this trans insanity. BRAVO!!!!!
This is outside of anything the president can really impact.
I'm disappointed in Ohio. Less people run as the gender they feel. Whether that's trans male or transfemale doesn't matter they are real males and real females.
There is no need to "save women's sports", just line up and do the best you can. Doesn't matter if you come in first place or thousandth place if you did your best.
If there is no need to save women's sports, then why have divisions at all?

You complicate matters. Go with "open" which means you compete and no one asks any questions. "Women" where then you have to define how you determine that.

claims is just a word they can use so they don’t have to say “says”. It’s a stronger word than says that’s why they use it. No other meaning than that really but I agree with your overall viewpoint
Lots of people getting bent out of shape over the transsexuals in girls sports. I can understand that, but those same people don’t have a problem when a gay kid gets beat up or killed & that speaks volumes about your lack of decency.

Trans women are women, they are in the right division. You can still have the women's classification but no need to ban any woman regardless of the gender assigned at birth.
If that means any particular woman finishes a little lower it doesn't matter. Sports are for fun. I have as much fun finishing 100th at 1st.

So if only .0001% will be kept from competing why is it a big deal? Oh that’s right, because one HS male is going to destroy an entire state of HS females at the state meet.
Are people who start threads about transexuals fighting some sort of inner demons? Trying to repress their innermost urges?
No question they are in a Herculean battle to fight off their desires for something, whether that means not cross dressing, transgendering, dating transgenders, transitioning or maybe they are addicted to trans porn. The urges are there. Good call.

Third category is not the answer. As we have seen in road racing, a third category basically doubles the awards/prizes for men. XX and XY only.

Here is what your ilk does:
"Its not even a problem. It affects so few people,you shouldn't be concerned with it."
Then,when it is out of control...
"Its too late to do anything about it now. So, you just have to live with it."
no need to ban any woman regardless of the gender assigned at birth.
'Gender assigned at birth' is nonsense.
If your baby was born with obvious male genitalia and your doctors announced that you had a lovely baby girl/daughter, you'd be filing a medical malpractice lawsuit before you left the hospital.
Can you tell me why the article only mentions transgender individuals and you intentionally misrepresented them as transexual? Nearly all transgender people do not identify as transexual so I’d like to know what your problem is. It’s an outdated term so the only reason I can think you're using it is because you, a transsexual, are trying to intentionally conflate the two so the word becomes more accepted.
