"It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views," Jean-Pierre said. "There is no 'yes or no' answer to this, it is complicated. There is a rule that the Department of Education [DOE] has put forward, and we're going to let that process move forward, and again, we want to make sure that while we establish guardrails with this rule, we also prevent discrimination, as well, against transgender kids. But again, a complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that."
"Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this," New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "It is indefensible and embarrassing. The admin can still walk this back, and they should. It's a disgrace."
"Honestly, this move by Biden to push a rule on trans kids in sports is not only a backwards betrayal, it [forces] us to have to spend our time dealing with god d*** sports instead of criminal bans on our healthcare," Alejandra Caraballo, a civil rights attorney and LGBTQ+ advocate, wrote. "He could have just done nothing. This is legitimizing transphobia."

"A complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that" Fuck off out of here with that "centrist" nonsense. There's nothing complicated about it, and it's not an issue unless you want to turn it into one and want to appeal to people's emotions like Republicans are doing. It was only a matter of time before they'd start throwing trans people under the bus. I guess with the coming elections it's as good a time as ever.
In fact there should be no respect for the views of bigots
You are a bigot. You are inventing a set of standards for fairness that stops exactly at "trans or cis". How is it fair that one woman could be groomed and trained from birth by rich parents to be the best swimmer she can is allowed to compete against a poor woman raised with less nutrition who was self trained? Why drawn the line at trans or cis and not literally anywhere else?
You're allowed to be born a gigantic thick-boned brick shithouse and compete against guys/girls born way fucking smaller than you but someone born with a vagina isn't allowed to compete explicitly against somebody born with a dick as the only stated reason and you DON'T think it's fueled by bigotry? You're only fooling yourself. If discriminating against trans people made sense, you'd also being chomping at the bit to descriminate by height, weight, net worth, nutrition, etc. etc. You'd have 18 different leagues for one sport all neatly segregated and you could only compete with people who look exactly like you.
Estrogen does the opposite of steroids you fucking moron
this you about how trans people will never be the same as others of their gender?
I've yet to see one person who holds this position not be bigoted
If you think that i have some bad news for you...
I am conducting a scientific test of their claims
He officially did not pass the vibe check

"Hey, African Americans are fine and all... I... I just don't want them living next door to me alright?"
But you know... you don't have to be one, right?
You'd be way cooler.
