GOP Big Fail: Congressman Gym Jordan holds a meeting on "locker room safety"

We should be more worried about Republican politicians in bathrooms. Remember Larry Craig?

“My foot slid, I didn’t mean to….”

Eric Swalwell gives another devastating blow on the record:

Jordan: Gentleman from California is recognized

Swalwell: I guess it’s a good thing that some folks on the other side are interested in what happens in a locker room. We’re not going to look the other way.

36% folx???

[quote]The GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee led a performative hearing Thursday on a bill that would ban transgender athletes from competing for the U.S. in the Olympics or any World Championship. One of the topics discussed was locker room safety.

The ban is perfectly reasonable.

And men should not be allowed in women's locker rooms.

^ Oh, God, it's Dee Plorable here with another serving of stupid

Bitch, you shouldn't be allowed in polite society, but here you are. I hate that the stupids have rights 🤨

r5 is an old fart who didn't grow wiser.

@r5, Dee, honey, before you go out to slop the pigs, tell me, when was the last time you were forced to change clothes in a locker room in front of a transgender person?... Prison doesn't count

R5 wants to suck pervy Gym Jordan's cock and lick his shit encrusted asshole so much he/she/it can taste it.

Newsmax is on R5. Why aren't you tuned in?

Locker room safety for Gym Jordan = making sure there’s no witnesses nearby

^ Don't forget to break the security cameras, Gym

This is all they have to worry about?

R6, R7, R8, R9 No, you're the stupid ones.

The ban is perfectly reasonable. And men should not be allowed in women's locker rooms.

^ They can't govern so all they have left is lies and fear-mongering. It's the Republican way

LOL Isn't she lovely!

@r13, Now you're just trolling. Go fuck yourself

@r15, If you're following nut case James Woods, you're the problem. That is the fakest picture I've ever seen. That fat redneck has never been in a gym in his life

R13: I'm far more concerned about the United States slipping into a dictatorship led by a crazed narcissist and his equally deranged sycophants than I am a woman showing up in a male locker room.

That you seem to think this is important shows the world what a jackass you really are and that your life's priorities are shit and just a tad askew.

One of the greatest women athletes of all time, chimes in on the issue:

""Effing irresponsible" - Martina Navratilova furious as swimmer Riley Gaines is told to simply not look at transgender colleague Lia Thomas' genitals"

R17 You're quite the idiot if you think the photo is fake.

Isn't she lovely!

R5, I thought conservatives like you believed in small government? Why don't you let the Olympics make its own rules, then

The ban is completely sensible. The Democrats need to realise they've backed the wrong horse. They've handed Republicans a gift by pushing this nonsense. "Trans women are women" is not the mainstream belief they think it is. Listen to how loudly the crowd boos Lia Thomas in the video below: do you really think they're they all Republicans?

@r20, No, you dumb hillbilly, if you think that picture wasn't a complete set-up then you're the sucker the Republican party is counting on to send them money

God, you people are dumb 🤦‍♂️

r23 - Well, Kit, you aren't American. Most Americans would prefer the Republican majority would spend even one minute of their time on matters that *actually* affect our lives. This...does not. Only stupid people are diverted by it...which is their plan.

Correct

R25 Two things can be true at once:

"Most Americans would prefer the Republican majority would spend even one minute of their time on matters that *actually* affect our lives."

AND

As polling shows, most Americans do not want men in women's locker rooms.

Not everyone is a binary thinker like you.

Let's show the folks what Eric Swalwell had to say...

“It’s not a thing,” said Swalwell. “We have things happening in our community that are things. Kids getting mowed down by assault rifles at their school, that’s a thing. Young women in their community have IVF treatments banned, that’s a thing. Women being forced into government mandated pregnancies, that’s a thing. And those are things we can all address on this committee.”

According to Swalwell, the creepiest component of Republicans’ latest anti-trans legislation is the text within the bill itself. He says the law would require athletes to undergo “mandatory gender checks.”

“Is Mr. Jordan enforcing it? Mr. Gaetz enforcing it? Mr. Biggs? Who is enforcing this on-demand gender check?,” he asked. "

Ok, all you loony-tune right wing nut jobs, which one of you is volunteering to do genital inspection?... Jesus Christ, take a number, I didn't think you were ALL perverts. I was wrong

R28 Why doesn't Eric Swalwell just come out and say he sees no problem with men in women's locker rooms, and no problem with men competing in women's sports?

[quote]As polling shows, most Americans do not want men in women's locker rooms.

Exactly which polls would those be, r27?

EXACTLY, rr28.

^ r28

This was the person that ignited the planet fitness controversy.

R28 there’s no “genital check”. A cheek swab can tell you biological sex. Also physicals have been mandatory for many years to play high school and college sports.

Ok, hillbillies, Gym is ready to check your junk... 😳

R23, perhaps "small government" Republicans should stop butting into everyone's business

R30 Take your pick.

NBC News June 12, 2023

"Most Americans oppose including trans athletes in sports, poll finds. Nearly 70% of U.S. adults say transgender athletes should be allowed to compete only on sports teams that correspond with the sexes they were assigned at birth, Gallup found.

You have to remember that MAGA trash is beyond shame or embarrassment. Or irony.

@r36, How many transgender people are we talking here? 100? 200?

There's 335 million in this country who are sick of Republican grand-standers making a big fucking deal about things that don't effect their lives. Quit wasting the taxpayers money chasing bullshit impeachments and a 100 transgender people who want to compete in sports

NOBODY CARES!

DL has become irony-impaired.

Irrespective of your position regarding Ts and sports, Gym Jordan and rethugs holding hearings on locker room safety is hilarious.

What's next, Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, formerly of Boulder, CO, doing seminars on protecting your children?

"100 transgender people who want to compete in sports. NOBODY CARES!"

Yeah right. 100 transgender people. 🤡 And nobody cares. 🤣

[quote]Privacy laws make it tough to identify the exact number of transgender athletes competing in public school sports, but researcher and medical physicist Joanna Harper estimates the number can't exceed 100 nationwide.

[quote]"While we don't know the exact number of trans women competing in NCAA sports, I would be very surprised if there were more than 100 of them in the women's category," Harper told Newsweek.

[quote]One hundred transgender athletes would comprise an incredibly small number of the U.S. population, and the number dwindles even further when it comes to middle school and high school athletes.

Ask Ivy League female swimmers if they cared about losing to Lia Thomas, a mediocre male swimmer taking all the glory that the female swimmers had trained a decade for.

The fail is democrats supporting the trans lobby who have extremist ideology and have managed to take over women’s shelters, gain access to women’s prisons, competing in women’s sports, forcing people to use pronouns or risk their livelihoods and changing language to obscure sex like chest feeding or referring to women in medical terms as people with a uterus and finally it’s erasing gays by transing people and making them straight again and claiming same sex attraction is transphobic.

I don't give a shit about Ivy League female swimmers, r43. I *do* give a shit about the threat of authoritarianism, the environment, the rich getting unfair tax breaks, the massive corruption of the Republican party, Ukraine, abortion bans....but you do you. Continue to trifle.

Setting aside that this is DL and poking people is usually hilarious, I usually state this as "I think there are several issues which impact more people that we ought to prioritize given limited resources and bandwidth to mobilize people and support..."

I agree that biological men and women should not share locker rooms, but you know the Repugs don’t care about women’s safety. They are seeking the ban because they want to humiliate gender-nonconforming kids by having them undergo interrogations and/or mandatory genital checks before participating in sports, which is basically a way to intimidate and stigmatize effeminate boys and masculine girls. Martina Navratilova should know; during the height of her tennis career she was rumored to be male and was required to get sex tested.

Well, listen to her!

She's stated her boundaries as to what is important and what is not.

R45 doesn’t seem to realize you can have concerns about more than one issue at a time.

Women don’t want men in their changing rooms, sports and most people oppose gender transitions of minors. I doubt that needle is going to move the other way.

Can we just go back to having sex in the showers and steam room like normal people?!

[quote]They are seeking the ban because they want to humiliate gender-nonconforming kids by having them undergo interrogations and/or mandatory genital checks before participating in sports,

Are you posting from the 1950s? That is not how sex verification in sports is carried out.

OMG talk about lacking self-awareness. Read the room!

Martina Navratilova is adamantly opposed to trans women in sports. People made comments about her because she didn’t fit into the gender norms that people expected of women.

[quote][R45] doesn’t seem to realize you can have concerns about more than one issue at a time.

I listed six issues that I'm concerned about, r49. But again, you do you. Continue to troll about this right wing non-issue.

The trolls are on here simply to divert from Jordan.

R51 No, I’m not posting from the 1950s, but the Republicans are. Yes, they have written bills requiring that a physician examine their genital anatomy.

[quote](C) If a participant's sex is disputed, the participant shall establish the participant's sex by presenting a signed physician's statement indicating the participant's sex based upon only the following:

[quote](1) The participant's internal and external reproductive anatomy;

[quote](2) The participant's normal endogenously produced levels of testosterone;

[quote](3) An analysis of the participant's genetic makeup.

[quote]by presenting a signed physician's statement

It is between the athlete and their physician.

[quote]Martina Navratilova is adamantly opposed to trans women in sports. People made comments about her because she didn’t fit into the gender norms that people expected of women.

Yes, this is true. Also, Martina recently did a 180 on her support of Caster Semenya who, as it turns out, is a trans woman, not an intersex athlete..

Caster isn’t transgender he’s a biological male with an intersex condition.

R59 Caster identifies as female, so he is trans.

@r41, Wow, we can always count on you to come back with the snappy replies... Go slop your pigs

My God, the stupid on this thread knows no bounds. To all you retarted MAGAts go fuck yourself, no one else will

Yeah, I did "retarted" on purpose, don't even go there

Agreed.

I agree with Swallwell

[quote]This isn't a thing.

It's especially dreary that the trans activists on backwater social media forums, such as DL, are such histrionic twats, with zero debating skills, woeful rhetoric, and subnormal IQs. Attributing the most awful thought crimes to liberal gay men, and confusing them with REfugs and MAGAts. What created these pathetic creatures?

^ I think they've been banned from every other social media app and DL is all that's left. Same with the Meghan Markle crazies, although I think there's a lot of overlap there

R62 Yes, go slop your pigs is the height of hilarity. Now call people "Boris" too.

Just saw the documentary about OSU on MAX-HBO. Gym Jordan should serve jail time for allowing all the abuse. Maybe he was more involved?
