That is democracy.
If the 80% want the 20% to be hurt in some way, democratic principles suggest you side with the 20%.
Otherwise it is majoritarianism.
I know MAGA aficionados don't like democracy.
You're dying on this hill, lol...

The EO will die on this hill.
You can watch it die and blame the libs as usual.
Unfortunately for you we live in a country where trans folks are protected by law.
Does that grind your gears? lol.
Shaq, since you arrived here you've proven yourself to be drawn to every shiny object the progressive movement dangles in front of you. Transgender athletes in women's sports are going to rapidly be banned at all levels. It's also going to be banned in international sports.

Whether the EO stands or not, it is largely a foregone conclusion. You should be complaining that Trump is grabbing largely a symbolic moment. However, the progressives handed it to him.

It can also not be enforced at the local level.
Please start thinking through your posts.

While the EO stands, what local level are you thinking will allow transgender athletes to compete in women's sports. Not only do U.S. universities receive Federal funds so do most high schools. The youth leagues all have feeding kids into high school sports as an objective. Some community youth sports are loosely integrated with the high school program. They will conform to the high school standards.

I am not strictly for trans women in sports.
I rather support a case by case basis.
I dont think trans women are going to be banned outright.
I think some physical or medical requirements will be made mandatory to be able to compete to show that they have properly transitioned.
The EO on the other hand wont stand.
You are also forgetting the arguments for the inclusion of trans women in women's sports.
They will argue that physical differences exist even amongst the same men and women.
For example, Michael Phelps having a huge wingspan for example.
So this debate is not yet done and you thinking it is a foregone conclusion is a premature conclusion.

The EO wont stand in the long term.
Therefore the schools at the local level will take a call on whether or not they allow trans women.

It is unfathomable that a group of "supposedly" intelligent and educated adults would consider that to be rational.

They might as well have an adjunct bill to remove all condoms from all stores. Anyone found with a condom would be charged. There will be a black market.

Even better, masturbation would become illegal.
Rep. Anita Somani introduced bill making it felony to "discharge semen without the intent to fertilize."

Every man in the US would be a felon.

If it was 'illegal for men to discharge semen without intent to fertilize', a BBBJCIM would be illegal, as would be any 'raw dog' penetrative act between two men, unless of course the 'bottom' self identified as a woman, and the lawyer for the 'top' got him off by claiming that his client sincerely believed that his partner was a woman born with her feet on backwards.

An accused charged with acts of pedophilia or bestiality could instead plead guilty to unlawful discharge of a loaded gun, and only have to face a fine of $1,000 for the first offense, instead of 'prison justice'.

Did the video say that this is not true?

Anita Somani* is a Democrat in the State Congress of Ohio/ House of Representatives. The Ohio House and Senate each have a huge Republican majority:

There is no possibility whatsoever that any Bill proposed by a Democratic Representative will be voted into Law in Ohio while the Democrats are in the minority position for both Houses.

*Anita Somani is also something that "The shaky lady"

Agree with that interpretation.

An accused charged with acts of pedophilia or bestiality could instead plead guilty to unlawful discharge of a loaded gun, and only have to face a fine of $1,000 for the first offense, instead of 'prison justice'.
He could. But that way he'd be leaving himself open to a second felony. Why would he do that?

But it sounds something an ultra religious right winger could support.

Regardless of who proposed it, it's ridiculous. As well, in my original post I did not politicize what was being proposed.

Whether you support it or not, this was always going to happen. The debate isn’t over, but the momentum is clear.
