In case you hadn’t heard, Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has introduced legislation that would withhold federal funding from schools that allow transgender young women to compete in women’s sports:
NEW: Hawaii Rep. @TulsiGabbard introduces bill called ‘Protect Women’s Sports Act’ — would clarify Title IX protections to be based on biological sex, which would impact transgender athletes participating in athletic programs for women and girls @KITV4 pic.twitter.com/VcDDgO1mFL

Disincentivizing schools from allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports seems pretty logical to us.
So naturally, the HuffPost is pissed:
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard who has claimed to support the LGBTQ community, is pushing a bill to bar schools from receiving federal funds if they allow transgender girls to compete in women’s sports. pic.twitter.com/c0pqusHx0c

How is it not supporting the LGBTQ community to want young women athletes to play on a level field? Does supporting the LGBTQ community dictate that girls get screwed over? What about lesbian athletes who don’t want to compete against male athletes? Are they not supporting the LGBTQ community?
HuffPo is trying so hard with this one. https://t.co/6KDntftdvR

We don’t need a law for this, it’s pure hate baiting disguised as protection.

@TulsiPress Once again shows us EXACTLY who she is inside. A LYING COWARD WHO WANTS TO PERSECUTE LGBTQ HUMANS BECAUSE OF HER CULT FUELED RAGE. EVIL TRASH https://t.co/MC87e5R6xw

Makes no sense! Gender should make no difference to play sports! This is stupid! And Rep Gabbard should be ashamed!

Why doesn’t she just switch to a Republican and get it over with? They seem to love her.

Tulsi. Is. Not. A. Democrat.
I can’t wait until this asshole is no longer in Congress.

So, basically, Tulsi Gabbard is a traitor to the Party of Science™ by believing in basic biology. At least according to HuffPost et al.
When “news organizations” become soo woke, they go all the way back around to being misogynistic. 😂😂😂 https://t.co/kmraIlns0e

Fortunately there are still plenty of people who support following the actual science on this.
So it’s not possible to support the LGBTQ community, and support fairness in women’s athletics? https://t.co/A6u0OSDyjV

Supporting female athletes isn’t oppressive.

There’s a huge difference between being supportive of LGBTQ and letting biological males take over women’s sports. If you support women in any way shape or form, then you support their efforts to compete fairly

It’s not anti-transgender. It’s pro woman.
