Even after the election people still think biological men playing woman sports it isn't a big deal...LOL...reason no. 54 why the D's lost this election so bad, they clearly aren't listening to the majority of Americans.  

I think it’s a medium sized deal, but I think it was far down the list of why people voted the way they did.  It was about the economy.

Yeah but rv thinks biological women may be taking over men's sports.

I enjoy wrestling but won't tell anybody that it's actually important. 

But are you concerned about biological women taking over the 125 lb class just because its easier for them to make weight?

I agree with this on a personal level; however, it cannot be dismissed as "not a big deal" when it is in fact a big/medium sized deal for most American's and it was and is part of how people voted.

Not one of the reasons Democrats lost. They missed on much bigger issues.

Just because Republicans plastered ads about it doesn’t mean it actually impacted how more than a few people voted

The far left radical agenda in this space is definitely a reason people voted R this time.  You not seeing it is part of the radical left’s problem.

Not really.  Quite a few down-ballot Republicans in states Trump won that spent a lot of money on anti-trans ads lost their races.

What does this even mean?  So it was one of the platforms R's ran on but only a few people voted for woman's rights in sports, yet the R's crushed the D's in the election???  Not sure I understand that logic.  I was with you on it may not be a "big issue" depending on a how a person defines it, but to say it wasn't something that impacted how people voted is completely disingenuous.  I believe people who voted R most certainly felt that there was a need for policy reform when it comes to biological men competing with women in sports.  This isn't a semantics argument like some are trying to make it and I hope you aren't as well.  Of course it wasn't the ONLY reason, or the MAIN reason the R's voted for R's, but people running for office would NOT have spent millions and millions of dollars on ads if they felt like it wasn't a big deal to their voting base.  Mental gymnastics isn't going to convince me otherwise.

So they lost because of their stance on biological males competing with woman??  Come on!! 

By the way, believing biological men shouldn't compete with woman does not equal "anti-trans".  Twisted logic and emotional statements aren't ever going to convince me otherwise.

Yes I agree with your second sentence.  Apologies my sentence was worded poorly.

I still feel that biological men competing in women’s sports had very little impact in the election.

I think this is a good case for this kind of thing to be more regulated.   The tourney is not complete if there are forfeits going on, which is demonstrably wrong, especially for the cause they are forfeited.

Womens sports are for women, not men pretending to be women.  Period.
