GOP is ecstatic, because of how important it is to them to protect females.

This has nothing to do with the GOP. Maybe you didn't read the attachment.

And maybe you missed this part -
Speaking about the policy, IOC President Kirsty Coventry said: "As a former athlete, I passionately believe in the rights of all Olympians to take part in fair competition. The policy that we have announced is based on science and has been led by medical experts.

Where does that say "This has nothing to do with the GOP?"

The left is all about "science" until they aren't.

Don't get me wrong. I think it's completely reasonable to limit males from competing in female sports, regardless of what they identify as.

It's the GOP pretending that they give an eff about women that I take issue with. After they ban women from medical intervention after rape and elect an adjudicated rapist who Epsteined kids, intruded into teen girl's dressing rooms while they were in various stages of dress/unress, and bragged on video about sexually assaulting women.

Pardon me, but I'm not speaking for the GOP. I posted an article from the Olympic Committee about policy. Just because the Olympics agrees with conservative lawmakers isn't a reason to attack the source. Does the fact that you agree with IOC President Kirsty Coventry make you a Republican??

Not sure I see your point.

You posted an article about the IOC changing policy. I posted "GOP is ecstatic, because of how important it is to them to protect females" and a GIF of Trump hanging with his BFF Jeff Epstein. You said "this has nothing to do with the GOP." I posted an article connecting the dots of the IOC policy change to the GOP strong-arming the IOC and threatening to ban trans athletes from the Olympics.

Thank you for reading my Cliff's notes.

Does that make you a Republican?

No.

But that also doesn't make the GOP less ecstatic at the policy change, claiming it's to protect women. Or change the fact that they make that claim at the same time they "ban women from medical intervention after rape and elect an adjudicated rapist who Epsteined kids, intruded into teen girl's dressing rooms while they were in various stages of dress/unress, and bragged on video about sexually assaulting women."

All of which the previous administration failed to prove and put him in prison for.
He was never prosecuted at the Federal level. Because he won the 2024 election and the DOJ has a policy against prosecuting sitting presidents so the prosecutor dropped charges.

A civil trial for "rape" LMAO.
Yes, like the one Bill Cosby just had where the victim was given $60 million. And the one OJ had after murdering those two people. Are you a charter member of the OJ/Cosby support group?

If you really believe all that
Who to believe? The people who testified under oath as to Trump's conduct, or the guy who hid behind the Fifth?

How about I believe both, including Trump? Who refused to testify at his own trials after saying only guilty people plead the fifth?

They were all addicts and failures at basic life. Dad can't be Innocent

So many theories! Any theories about the guy who kept pleading the fifth at this trials regarding rape and fraud?

But don't believe your lying eyes...

Not that Trump was known for intruding into teen girls' dressing rooms while they were naked or anything.

Teen Beauty Queens Say Trump Walked In On Them Changing
"Don't worry, ladies, I've seen it all before."
Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants - some as young as 15- were changing.

"I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, Oh my god, there's a man in here,'" said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA.

"#38. That is SO identical taking showers with an underage daughter.

Identical? No.

One is probably inappropriate, like Biden's daughter said.

The other (intentionally walking in on naked children you're not related to for no legit reason) seems criminal.

We've been over this before. Science is on our side. This is politically motivated due to the transphobic bigotry of current administrations. The Olympics cowed under the pressure of current group think. That's all there is to this. That's what Jeff

If you are talking about those beauty pageants, I agree with you.

Yes, that.

"Trans birds" in biology often refers to [...]

Yes, there are all sorts of "non-standard" phenomena that happen with biology. But we wouldn't then say the bird with half-male parts or one that spontaneously developed female parts is now the equivalent of a female bird that never experienced that. And that they should now duke it out.

To put it another way, Bruce Jenner's superior bone density, extra arm reach, superior heart capacity, increased fast twitch muscles, and narrower hips did not all disappear because Bruce went under the knife (?) and became Caitlyn.
