I like how the media calls it an "anti-trans" amendment.
How is it anti anything, when in fact it seeks to preserve the integrity of female sports? An individual born a biological male and then being allowed to compete in women's sports is an insult.
As the United States Senate attempts to pass a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, former Auburn football coach and current Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville had one thing on his mind: anti-trans legislation.
Tuberville attempted to add an anti-trans amendment to the COVID-19 relief bill Saturday, but was voted down 49-50. If passed, the amendment would have prohibited funding to educational institutions that allowed trans women to compete in women's athletics.
Washington Senator Patty Murray, a Democrat, took Tuberville to task over the amendment, asking him to "have a little bit of heart and compassion in this world for someone who doesn't look or live exactly like you."
It will never be fair for born males, who claim they want to be female, to compete with females in sports, until they have had their testicles removed.

Even that won’t do. They will still be stronger, faster, taller, have stronger upper body strength, and have bigger lungs and hearts and other organs. Born males have physical advantages that no amount of surgery or hormone blockers and cross sex hormones can change.
