It is not fair to allow biological males to compete in women’s sports. It is disrespectful to all female athletes who work hard for many years to develop their skill.
No males, however they identify, in female sports. It’s unethical and unjust to female athletes who train for years in their chosen sport. Woman will lose opportunities, money,and scholarships if men are allowed in. Depending on the sport it also puts in females in danger of being hurt by males who are stronger, faster, and bigger.
Protect the hard fought spaces of biological women which includes sports, competitions, scholarships, and locker rooms. Protect the rights of biological women. Protect the lived experience of biological females. Protect the definition of women.
Title IX was created in 1972 to prohibit sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government. Why? Because until that hard-won historical moment, women had been entirely excluded from equitable opportunities for personal development, achievement, scholarship and financial gain through sport.
Now, barely 50 measly years later, women’s right to freedom from sex-based discrimination is being dismantled under the pseudo-scientific ideology of “gender,” in order to privilege men.
HOW DARE YOU?!
Give trans-identified male competitors their own division and let them compete fairly, against each other.
As a woman whose husband now claims he is the mother of our sons, I warn you. Do not let this pass.

This disrespect and disregard for Women by allowing XY biological males in WOMENS’ Sports will not be forgotten around election time. Abortion is NOT the only thing FEMALES care about.
It is time to stop wondering if biological males should be allowed to participate in women’s sports. The obvious answer is no, of course not. Deciding that your gender is female and that therefore you deserve to participate in women’s sports is not the way to proceed with this complicated issue. Men and boys who have entered puberty have different physiological bone structures, lung capacity and muscle mass, just to name a few of the more obvious. This creates a very unfair playing field. Sex is determined at birth. Gender is a list of stereotyped traits and those traits do not make men women. Women’s sports is for females.
Thanks to alert women I’ve learned that our rights are being shoved aside and we’re being threatened by forces that are being protected by law in the USA and other countries. Stop this action now before we totally lose our birth rights, our heritage and our hard won political rights. Stop them from ruining our civilization.
Remember:
It’s not “kind” to push women aside to give men rights to our private spaces and sporting competitions.
And, we’re the marginalized sex, not men, no matter what skirt they wear.

No males in female sport.
Phew, I think it must be a joke that a petition is even necessary.
NO men in women’s sports. EVER!!

Woman will lose opportunities, money,and scholarships if men are allowed in. Depending on the sport it also puts in females in danger of being hurt by males who are stronger, faster, and bigger.

Keep Men Out of Women’s Sports

Men do not belong in women’s sports. No matter how they ‘identify.’
Women’s sports were created for a reason!
Thanks to alert women I’ve learned that our rights are being shoved aside and we’re being threatened by forces that are being protected by law in the USA and other countries.
