News Tulsi Gabbard introduces bill to restrict trans women from sports

[Rum]

Gabbard, who declined to run for re-election in 2020 and is in the final days of her Congressional term, introduced the bill, titled the “Protect Women’s Sports Act,” with Republican Oklahoma Rep. Markwayne Mullin. Republican Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler introduced a similar bill, titled “the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” into the Senate in September. (Loeffler’s bill has not been taken up for a vote.)

“Title IX is being weakened by some states who are misinterpreting [it], creating uncertainty, undue hardship and lost opportunities for female athletes,” Rep. Gabbard said in a statement. “Our legislation protects Title IX’s original intent which was based on the general biological distinction between men and women athletes based on sex.”

“Title IX was designed to give women and girls an equal chance to succeed, including in sports,” said Rep. Mullin in a statement of his own. “Allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports diminishes that equality and takes away from the original intent of Title IX.”

Wasn't she part of an anti-LGBT pseudo-cult?

So let me get this straight:
The bill is called "Protect Woman Sports Act"
Yet it bans trans women from sports?

That, if I'm honest, is mutually exclusive. You can't claim that something that will "protect women" also bans trans women and LGBTQ+.

Yeah, the woman has some serious issues

Sounds like more twisted political nonsense. Hopefully this is shut down.

She's too determined, I hope she doesn't get far with it.
