[RD] LGBTQ News II

I don't tend to keep up with the happenings in football, but as far as I'm aware the FA haven't yet produced an official statement as to their positions on climate change and evolution.

Are either of those being used to justify segregating trans people?

 

[Ordnael]

Maybe it's time for free for all in sports competitions.
Man vs women teams, or just teams vs teams, no more segregation in individual sports as well!
No more wnba...just b! We'll call it rush b!
It will be spectacular!

I can only imagine it is driven by some form of corporate lawyer-ism to reduce their chance of being successfully sued.

But if the FA is going to establish mixed gender leagues by the 2026-27, I have difficulty in seeing why they are bothering.

Well this is how it was in my pseudo sport, playing chess.

But then they decided they'd want to encourage ladies to play by
introducing ladies only competition and prizes for the best lady etc.

I suppose some folks must like playing hopscotch in a legal minefield.

A sport I've participated in a fair bit (target pistol, specifically USPSA/IPSC, usually has competitive categories for women, juniors, over-55, over-65, police, and (active-duty/full-time) military. There's also about a half-dozen equipment divisions including revolver/autoloader/carbine, optics/iron sights, and factory/limited-modifications/open.

This is not a socially progressive sport (they too have recently determined that trans folks' gender identities will not be respected), nor are they particularly eager to be sued. Just another data point for your theory, I suppose.

Meanwhile, in the actual LGBTQ News department, we have California rejecting the Trump regime's legal threats over their transgender-inclusive (ish) sports policy:

U.S. threatens California with legal action over transgender sports law

The threat by Education Secretary Linda McMahon was the latest salvo in the culture wars over transgender youth.

I was referring to the political groups pressing these issues.

There's no way that weasel Newsom is going to stand his ground on this.
