The Democrats have just destroyed female athletics.
The Democratically controlled House of Representatives voted Friday 236-173 in favor of the Equality Act, which would require schools to include male athletes who identify as transgender girls on female sports teams.
Eight Republicans crossed party lines to vote for the bill, which had unanimous Democratic support.
The bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law.
Among other things, that would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.
Republican Florida Rep. Greg Steube introduced a last-minute amendment to the bill that would have preserved Title IX’s protections of female athletic teams, but Democrats rejected it.
Every House Democrat but one co-sponsored the legislation. The only Democrat who wasn’t a co-sponsor, Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski, announced his support for the bill following pressure from left-wing activists.
“People need to wake up. This radical bill is going to totally eliminate women’s and girls sports,” Republican Arizona Rep. Debbie Lesko warned in an op-ed Thursday.
Republican Missouri Rep. Vicky Hartzler and a half-dozen other House Republicans held a press conference Thursday in opposition to what Hartzler dubbed the “Inequality Act.”
“Congress enacted Title IX to provide equal opportunities for women in education and sports. All this is erased under H.R. 5,” Hartzler said at the press conference.
Three former elite female athletes, Doriane Coleman, Martina Navratilova and Sanya Richards-Ross, warned that the Equality Act would wreak havoc on women’s sports in an April 29 Washington Post op-ed.
“The legislation would make it unlawful to differentiate among girls and women in sports on the basis of sex for any purpose. For example, a sports team couldn’t treat a transgender woman differently from a woman who is not transgender on the grounds that the former is male-bodied,” the former athletes wrote.
“Yet the reality is that putting male- and female-bodied athletes together is co-ed or open sport. And in open sport, females lose,” the three women warned.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a Democrat from New York, insisted the bill wouldn’t put female athletes at a disadvantage.
“Many states have sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination laws, and all of them still have women’s sports. Arguments about transgender athletes participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity having competitive advantages have not been borne out,” Nadler said at a April 2 hearing on the bill.
In Connecticut, one of the states to which Nadler was referring, two male runners have dominated girls’ high school track. A female competitor called the male runners’ advantage “demoralizing.”

Ridiculous!!!! Of course a biological male that thinks their a women is going to have a advantage over a actual natural born female in certain sports. I’ll bet any money that a woman that identifies as a man will never dominate in any sport where they’re competing against natural born males. This is just all really really sad!
Guess we now know who really doesn’t care about women’s rights, don’t we!!
Remember when the dimwits were accusing republicans of discriminating against women’s rights.
Yes, Democrats true colors are coming out against women!
The real war against our true females!!
😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
males competing against women in sports is so Satanic and idiotic that i cannot find the words with which to comment. If people cannot see the physiological differences between men and women, then we are indeed lost as a nation. So sad.
The physical differences between a male and female are such that the muscle mass in males will overcome the female body structure. That’s why we have separated the sexes in sports for eons.Anybody that says different is ignorant of basic physiology .
Common sense has become a missing attribute among our political representatives. Nadler has illustrated the type of individual that should never sit in Congress.
Just because a man says he is woman ,the Democrats have voted to let him shower with my grandchildren which are girls.This needs to be repealed now
I want all you people out there to think about what’s right and what’s wrong? The Demo Demons are doing these things to destroy our country for political gain and power. Everybody know darn well a transgendered man is stronger than a woman. That’s how God create this to be. Get these old morons out of office because in the end we all are going to be judged for the right things our Lord wants us to do. Crazy, evil, and unheard things are the works of satan. Praying for these doctor’s whose making $$$$ that are changing these individuals that was created by our Lord through pure DNA. No man will ever be a woman. No woman will ever be a man. Man you are NOT God!
