The Department of Justice is mounting a case arguing that laws in West Virginia and Arkansas that bar transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports are unconstitutional, despite the overwhelming majority of Americans supporting biological gender segregation in sports, according to a report citing court papers. “The United States has a significant interest in ensuring that all students, including students who are transgender, can participate in an educational environment free of unlawful discrimination,” the DOJ said in court documents filed in a West Virginia court case Thursday, according to a report by the Daily Mail.(Snip)A poll from May found that a majority of Americans don’t support transgender

I am a 64 year old male.
Maybe I will consider identifying myself as a 10 year old girl and join the Girl Scouts.
Given this logic... who can stop me?

DOJ is NOT any sort of an arbiter of constitutionality, ever.

In addition to what #1,2 said....
So called trans women are not barred from sports. They are men. They can join men's sports without limitation, the same as any other man.
I see no issue barring mentally ill men from competing in women's sports anymore than barring normal men from doing the same. Anything else would lead (and is right now) to the destruction of women's sports.
Wait until the next summer olympics when men in skirts sweep a pile of medals from women. Good times!

Boys faking their way into girl's sports is a way for permanent junior varsity boys to play varsity sports. It's a haven for second rate male atheletes who can't be competitive otherwise. The girls should just quit and let the boys compete against themselves, and be the losers they actually are.

Discrimination? DISCRIMINATION?
Hello?
I learned when I was FIVE that boys and girls wee-wee differently.
Some have little appendages, some do not.
One group is male, the other female.
What changed?
Boys compete with boys, girls with girls.
End of story.

Most sports are dead to me anyway. I use to enjoy watching women's tennis until those Amazon Williams sister took it over.

So public school systems stop supporting competitive sports.

When can we expect a ruling on the un Constitutional Affirmative Action, which doesn't give 'all' Americans an equal shot?

The courts have historically avoided sports governance issues. In every state there is a high school athletic association that sets the rules, not the state legislatures or governors. That's their function. There are no constitutional issues here. None. As men/boys cannot discriminate or segregate by sex/gender, neither can the women/womyn/girls. Don't like it, set up a private sports club...and hire a lawyer. It's likely your local "civil rights" laws and ordinances prohibits such discrimination, particularly using public facilities.

The idea that biological males should be called girls and then compete as girls is subversive. That is the point of it - to condition people to be brainwashed. Unmooring a society from its deepest foundational beliefs is a prerequisite to ushering in the patently criminal system of communism in the name of compassion. If boys are girls and words are violence and police protection is illegitimate and borders are racist then it isn’t hard to believe that theft is moral, America is systemically evil, math and science should be based on opinions and that some pock-marked psychopath in fatigues should run our country.

I love it how they don't use names when they really charge at us. Garland isn't doing it. The "Department of Justice" is. Biden didn't do it. The "White House" did.

This will be the end of women's sports in highschool and in college. These transgendered athletes will win all the events because they are still built like men. And when the women have had enough they will drop out of the track meets and what will the transgenders have gained. Nothing. Womens sports will be gone. I'll be waiting for the first transgendered basketball player to apply for the WNBA draft. Some 6'10" 240 lb power forward who couldn't make it in the NBA I'm sure would be welcomed with open arms to play in that league. I mean fair is fair right?

How soon before doctors will forced to give an anorexic gastric bypass? There are people who decide that they should be blind, deaf, or an amputee. Are we going to go there too?
Just because you BELIEVE something, it doesn't make it true. "Constitutional rights for people who say "I think today I will be a girl/boy and then go back to being a boy/girl tomorrow?"
My 5'2 daughter played in three sports grade school through college. She was pretty good too. Elected Track Team Captain in both high school and college. Being in sports served her well. She learned the value of teamwork, competition with others, but also against herself, always striving for her personal best. Now the mother of four, she's one heck of a kick-boxer.
She never would have been able to play her first game if this idiocy was the rule.

I would walk away from the competition. Would not allow the transgender person to compete with me. The win would not be earned.

People who believe God gave them the correct body parts are always discriminated against. The feds take care of the needs of mentally ill, easily-led children but make girls who know they're girls live in fear and lose valuable opportunities.
So-called adults who promote transgenderism should be arrested for child abuse.

DOJ apparently believed that running guns to the Sinaloa cartel was constitutional, so there is that.

I would like to know where are all the feminists and women's lib groups. Why are they so quiet when this abuse against women in sports is taking place. Women athletes and women's sports are being destroyed by men. Speak out Gloria, we can't hear you.

The crowd should simply walk away when they see a man competing against women, as should the women who should refuse to compete.

Remember in the late 80's when the feminazis were complaining that girls didn't have the same sports opportunities as the boys? Schools had to change to give equal opportunity to the girls. Who knew that the new 'girls' would dominate.
Where are the NAGS?

Why are there separations of the girls and boys teams in the first place? Ban all of it. If big girl wants to play football, suit her up and get her on the field. Wrestling? Get the lil lady in there and fudge-pack with the bulls. If boy wants to run girls track, let Her, and all the other full bodied Hims too. If we have lost the logic of gender separations, based on individual whim and desire, rather than how we are differently built and dis - or ad -vantaged biologically, then ANY separation becomes a moot point. NO separations. Not to play, not to pee, not to retreat or advance. We're all beings, gender is ephemeral, transient and irrelevant. That's the meaning of "is" (memo to Bill Clinton). It either IS or it ISN'T.

BS, Read Title IV of the law YOU Leftists PASSED and worshiped until the Tranny's blew a gasket!
The Constitution deals with the ONLY 2 REAL genders, not the Fake ones dreamed up by twisted minds!
If you want to be called by your Pronoun, tough, you're a Man or Woman, PERIOD. Get over yourself!

If this partisan Democrat political decision withstands court scrutiny resulting in transgender men competing against biological women in what are supposed to be woman’s sports the competition and result will not be fair, that’s just common sense.

Why is the DOJ even involved? It is not their job. ...well, cuz the new KGB needs to enforce the lies even if they are counter to our laws of the land.
The Constitution does not say anyone can do anything they want as long as the Democrats support the idea. What next? Homeless people can live anywhere they want otherwise you are infringing on their constitutional rights because they are poor? The Democrats are already allowing non-citizens to vote without resistance. We need to speak up NOW!!

Even setting aside the issue of transgender mental illness being considered a civil right, the Founders would have said that local sports contests are none of the federal government's business. But in Gay Beclowned America, the sewer in which we wallow has no bottom.
