I am a RN and worked one year at an addiction and mental health rehab. We had dorms for both men and women. We’ve had trans women placed in the women dorm and they routinely were having intercourse with the women. These are vulnerable women with both addiction and mental health issues, many with history of sexual assault. I could no longer work there it was sickening and our society has gone mental.

The Mainstream News Media and Individuals with the Political Parties literally pursue "subjects with emotion", in order to gain attention for votes. The Public is going to get wise to this and Then, we can find some balance and get back to Reason ... Mature Minds are a beautiful thing. This isn't a simple subject. We are in the USA and Rights are a "given + protected" Law. Transgender first requires being understood in its definition, and the age of the individual at time of addressing the sex medically. There are a vast number of variables, and yet 1 that each individual in this country share, "All are created Equal..." relative to Freedom and Rights. That means, regardless of one's Opinions or Perspective, each of us have our Constitutional Rights. The greater gaps in this subject has to do with: 1) understanding the definitions with Clarity. 2) Empathy, the ability to place yourself in another's shoes and imagine the circumstances/feelings.

Read into this what you will, but it doesn't say much for our government. In 1950, before the Senate, Paul Warburg, a globalist banker said this, "We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or consent. Their intention is to effect complete and total control over every human being on the planet and to dramatically reduce the world's population by two thirds. While the name New World Order is the term most frequently used today to loosely refer to anyone involved in this conspiracy, the study of exactly who makes up this group is a complex and intricate one." And nothing was done. Woodrow Wilson, while president, said the following, "Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." And nothing was done. John Kennedy was assassinate after saying this, "The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizens of this plight." And nothing was done. You may not think this fits in with the men in women athletics, but think deeply and you will see otherwise. Here's a hint, "To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas." ~ Brock Chisholm

Because it's more important for us to get men out of women's spaces first. Believe it or not, no matter how awkward and violated we feel, a trans man is safer with us than a whole room of girls is with one trans woman, and trans men know that. We can address the discomfort and violation of male comradery and erotic artwork that I myself have seen of this situation that has made me extremely uncomfortable after we address the actually dangerous situation at hand, after we get these dangerous creeps separated from our women. We can wait. We're not the ones in direct danger. We're just uncomfortable.

Congratulations on your OUTSTANDING achievements! I was a female athlete in all of my school years, Jr. College and University level. I know the sacrifices, hard work, and yes, pain! It sickens me to the core to see biological men take away a Female Athlete's achievements. We live in a crazy world; it IS incredibly heartbreaking, demoralizing and insane. Yet, that IS exactly what the DemonicRATS want for America's Citizens (Yes, this IS a political issue). Vote Trump in Nov. 2024, so that we can put an end to the stark raving madness. 🇺🇸 ❤
I work as a truck driver and a factory worker. Women in these jobs generally aren't unreasonable and find several ways to be extremely valuable workers. They don't even try to be the strongest worker. They know what we all observe. Even as an old man 66 years old. I can easily lift more than a young women. I can't even lift anywhere as much as a young man.
I hate that he calls that male swimmer a she.

Senator Kennedy is not corrupt. There are many Truthful people in politics/govt and in all walks of life, of both genders and all ages. It does seem that currently the loudest voices are coming from those who do not believe in Rule of law nor our constitution; those who are using their position to bankrupt constituents and enrich themselves; those who follow the crowd, rather than seek the truth.

Sorry to say that he may point out that there are just male and female genders, with out any real medical or biological studies of the changes in chromosomes of babies being born, it is no longer cut and dried. There seems to be problem with the male chromosome Y. Other countries are aware of it and are more advanced than us, 1in 1,000 babies are being being born with reproduction organs that do not fit their birth gender. These babies are found to be INTERSEX, and many do not know til puberty or death. Major hospitals have done the studies and been ignored in this country. Look it up!

@@lindaexley7244 Nobody is talking about intersex here. Intersex is about 0.018% of the population. There are also around 30 different intersex conditions. From that small percentage, the majority have defined XX and XY chromosomes, meaning they are either male or female with traits from the other sex. Cases of "true hermaphroditism", where a person has both ovarian and testicular tissue account for around 500 people in the world. So although it's good to bring awareness to rare conditions, it's not a cause to change the whole political order of a country, to the detriment of 50% of the population.
