28 Congressional Democrats sign letter demanding Department Of Education allow biological males in girls’ sports
Peter Hasson on June 18, 2020
Twenty-eight congressional Democrats signed a letter Wednesday condemning the Department of Education for ruling that public schools that allow biological males who identify as transgender to play girls’ sports are violating Title IX civil rights legislation.
Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal joined 27 House Democrats in signing the letter, which charged that the department’s order “discriminates against transgender youth” by restricting girls’ sports to biological females.
“The decision of the Department of Education to issue a determination targeting transgender student athletes on the eve of Pride Month is not coincidental. It is a transparent example of their campaign against the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ children,” Connecticut Rep. Jahana Hayes, the letter’s lead signer, said in a press release.
The DOE on May 15 issued a ruling stating that public schools that allow biological males into girls’ athletics are violating Title IX, which protects women’s access to education and athletics.
The Department of Justice previously backed a lawsuit filed by high school girls in Connecticut who said the liberal state’s transgender policies violated their rights.
Sports across the country are on hold due to the novel coronavirus, but biological males who identify as transgender have previously racked up accomplishments in female athletics.
Franklin Pierce University runner CeCe Telfer, for example, won an NCAA DII women’s track championship in May 2019. Telfer is a biological male who identifies as transgender.
University of Montana runner June Eastwood, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, was named the Big Sky Conference’s female athlete of the week in October 2019. Both Eastwood and Telfer previously competed on their university’s men’s team before switching to the women’s team.
Rachel McKinnon, a biological male who identifies as transgender, won women’s cycling world championships in both 2018 and 2019.
Wednesday’s letter isn’t the first instance of Democratic politicians arguing in favor of allowing biological males into female athletics.
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar in February 2019 called for an investigation into USA Powerlifting for barring biologically male athletes from women’s events.
A piece of Democratic legislation called the Equality Act, which passed the House with unanimous support from Democrats, would require schools to allow biologically male athletes into girls’ sports, if the male athletes identify as transgender.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, pledged to get the Equality Act passed into law within his first 100 days in office, if he wins the November election.
“Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time,” Biden wrote in a January tweet. “There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights.”

These people are insane. They are willing to discriminate against women born as biological females – shouldn’t biological females be considered a defined group that should have equal protection under the law?
Everybody but white males.
Dale there is no equal comparison boys have different strength and mind set due to testosterone. Women have estrogen. Two different hormones that identify with men muscle mass and strength estrogen is child bearing. There is no equalness. Women can not compete against men it is just no different then black can’t vote women can’t vote women don’t earn the same pay and remain the nurtur of a family. We are second to men and we alwayswill be.

If Biological men are allowed to play in women!s sports, I would suggest that all real women not participate in those events. Maybe when only one or two biological men are the only ones competing, they will get the message.
You’re right!

The reason the Democrats are doing this because they are a bunch of perverts! There is no other explanation!
It really is so unfair
I don”t care what you say males are different then females and have a great advantage in their strength
Women always get the short end of the stick in most e everything.
Are you demorats completely stupid? Did any of you pass Biology in high school? As if you didn’t know physically a male at birth will be a male no matter how many drugs and surgeries they have. What happens to the rights of the female when they are descriminated against because of your idiot ideas? You people have really lost your minds, how much is the lgbqxyz paying you?
These panderers, including “Stolen Valor” Blumenthal need to look in their underpants!
They are as evil as can be. When one looks at their evil and twisted faces one realizes how demonically possessed they truly are. The very height of arrogance and Godlessness to state that you who were created by God and do not create yourself can just decide you are another gender? This is just another, in a long list of steps to demoralize, bankrupt the soul and heart of the people of the US and bring about the downfall and total capitulation to One World Government, Religion, taxation and enslavement and the demise of at least 2 Billion people, as advocated by Bill Gates and his evil wife, Warren Buffet and the Abortion drivers of evil such as the Clintons, their worthless daughter, Soros, and crew, etc. etc. This worthless Senator is a disgusting menace to humanity. Lied about serving in Combat and being a Jew you would think he would be more sensitive to such evil. But he is ethnically Jewish certainly not by faith.
A$$anine, eleminates the female gender, creates a second male society that gives males that cannot or will not compete with biological males a platform to excel and dominate in a female platform thus denying females the ability to compete fairly against females with the same physiological limitations. It is a proven scientific fact that biological males have different physiological attributes that give them advantages in physical endeavors.This is nothing but a political agenda to capture LGBTQ? votes.
Right…. Eventually no school is going to be able to win a game of anything if they do not field a team of all little-girl-wannabes. Girls in “girls’ sports” will be extinct…ya-think…?!?!?
I wonder how many votes they think this stance will bring them? Idiots!
How can these congressmen get more whacked out? This is nothing more than trying to buy votes. Anybody with half a brain knows this is a bad idea and puts women at a disadvantage athletically. The democrats have lost their minds.
No where in sports does it say that you can’t handicap the participants. Since the Liberals want the mentally challenged and weak to be in female sports a compromise should be made. To participate participant shall be held back so many seconds or to start farther behind the others. Horse racing is handicapped with weights at the Jockey weigh in. So there is a precedence in handicapping.
Pass a law stating sexually deviant democrats when having an affair have to have it with a biological male identifying as a female. That wouldn’t even work as they are probably already doing that.
It’s an Abomination before God Almighty For one. Two allowing men who call themselves women to participate in women’s sports is an unequal playing field since men are naturally stronger then women. It’s basically cheating & biological Women don’t Stand a chance against men calling themselves women.
We are either born male or female. Period! Amen!
I feel they should have a separate gender competition for women who become men and men who b come women!! Then it is true biological competition.
Why should men of any sort be able to compete in Women sports. It doesn’t matter how they think they are. If they were born with a dick then it’s a man and should never be able to enter any kind of WOMEN sports. GOD Made MAN and HE MADE WOMAN ONLY. This is the most insane thing. Just remember one thing. By allowing this yo happen you are going totally against our CREATOR. You will have to answer to GOD on your judgement day. May GOD have mercy on ALL OF YOUR SOULS. Democrats remember all the wrong things you are trying to push on this wonderful AMERICA LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.
They may compete only if they agree to immediate physical castration prior to the event! No medical treatment or aid allowed! Otherwise, they can shut their damn mouths and compete as males! Otherwise, stay the frack out of the female locker rooms!
So you are going to get rid of the Bible now. I think it is time to fire you democrats who work for us. I boycott paying these people and demand my money back for the last 12 years since you haven’t done your job. All you are doing is keeping good athletes from participating in sports and going against the Bible. Constitution means nothing to you people. I want to know what are you going to do for me cause you bend over backwards for everyone else. Oh that’s right I am just a white grandmother who believes in God, obeys the law, works hard for what I have raised my family right, so you just screw me over again. My life doesn’t matter to you because I love my country, history, flag, prayer, commandments and that doesn’t fit. So much for caring I will go right out and vote Democrat cause they do for me. NOT! Wonder why people are leaving your party. Can’t buy my vote.
Pandering at it’s lowest. These creatures will stop at nothing to get a vote. I wonder how many of these “people” have daughters in sports?
All I can say is “shove it”.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly. And sleepy,bumbling Joe has the nerve to say , “There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights.”
What about the rights to all of our wonder and brave women ,young and old, who work hard to play by the rules.
XX is XX and XY is XY, period!
Example of uninformed SJWs…this is for them and those females that voted for them
.Case against transgender males competing against females.
https://web.law.duke.edu/sports/sex-sport/comparative-athletic-performance/
recent SCOTUS ruling now give men who THINK they’re women access to female locker rooms, showers, and make it a sex discrimination crime for females to complain about having to undress/dress in front of men.
They (the transpeople) should have their OWN sports. IT’S NOT FAIR TO “REAL” FEMALES!!!! THAT’S JUST BULLSHIT!!!!
I do not understand why congress is so eager to discriminate against women’s sports and let males compete. Just goes to show how perverted their logic is and they are nothing but idiots. Let girls be girls and boys be boys stop the stupidity.
For once, I agree. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see guys, who want to claim they are girls, compete against biological girls. I mean, it hasn’t been since I last watch the Exorcist, where I could actually witness the metoo morons’ heads spinning around. These girly boys should also get the college athletic scholarships, that would have gone to female college athletes, with the proper plumbing. Ya, I plan on selling tickets to these events.
Boo hoo. Cry me a river
Most women are NOT brave. Seriously. Get over that fact.
“Basic Human Rights” for everyone except White people who are heterosexual, Christian and Conservative. What hypocrisy.
I just like the helpful info you supply in your articles.
I will bookmark your blog and take a look at once
more right here regularly. I am reasonably certain I
will be told many new stuff right right here! Best of luck for the following!
Its like you learn my thoughts! You appear to grasp a lot about this, such as you wrote the ebook
in it or something. I think that you simply
could do with some p.c. to force the message house a bit, however other than that, that is wonderful blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.
