House passes bill to ban transgender student-athletes from women's sports

My job is project management and one of the problems i see with the low hanging fruit method is that it is they most times are not the projects that provide the most value. Sure you check it off your list but what is the value it is providing? Do several low hanging fruit objectives but does that still equal the value of one single piece of work that provides infinitely more value?

Many people get blinkered into thinking work = value. Which is not true. If congress meets for 12 straight days they have been busy but what is the end value of that work. Results also do not equal value

Lol i am going to stop now as the PM nerd in me is coming out.

Always a good discussion with you.

The reference was of course sports given the subject.

I donā€™t think anybody was discussing all competition like work competitions for example

Iā€™ve been in similar positions throughout my career. Lots of items needing to be addressed. Go after the low hanging fruit first to get them out of the way.

The whole transgender policy issue is something that is gaining more and more attention. It isnā€™t going away. Thus, addressing it is important. Is it something that will make or break our country? Of course not. But it is relatively simple to address, thus the low hanging fruit analogy. Letā€™s get it out of the way.

I have no idea what I said in 2023. But my opinion about focusing on the big issues was the same in 2023 as it is today so I am sure I would have said the same thing if we were discussing it on the forum and at that time I was commenting on said topic.

What is this incessant need by so many on this forum to try for a gotcha or score points.

All the ā€œspend time onā€ hokum is just veiled support of the problem.

What got supplanted?

My wifes niece is trans so I am all for society recognizing them.

i am proud of how my wifes family which has more than its fair share of Republicans (rural Indiana say no more) have accepted her. Even those members of the family which belong to a church that is recognized as a honest to goodness cult :grinning:.

I like to think that most families across the US would be similarly supportive.

In what other situations would conservatives support using federal funds to restrict or to affect local decisions

Guess the dimocrats in 2023 didnā€™t spend their limited time wisely??

If only theyā€™d listened to honest brokers like you, telling them to ignore this nonsense, maybe they wouldā€™ve won in Novemeber.

Guess you should have done more.

Not my job, i am just a no one talking on a message board. Pontificating and talking like all of us.

No one here has the ear of any influential politician.

But you didnt get the gotcha you hoped for so resorted to snark :grinning::+1:

Well the issue is going to go away eventually. Itā€™s the successor of the fear of gays movement. Iā€™m not saying you, but the fear and panic and hyperbole is the same. And the hate language people use(not you) is the same. And in 30 years most of the country will look at the panic and ask who why people and congressmen were obsessed with it. Like homosexuality and marriage and being in the military or adoption or even being allowed to teach. The country will look back and say man that was weird how people freaked out.

Itā€™s amazing this is even controversial ā€¦ And shows there are no moderate dems.

Are you intentionally ignoring all of the actual female athletes on the team with these males, and all of the actual female athletes on the opposing teams. These males arenā€™t in a bubble competing against themselves, showering with only themselves, dressing and undressing alone in otherwise empty locker rooms. These males are impacting the actual women in the sport they are trying to pose their way into.

I doubt many of these trans men actually want to be women.

Most are sub par men who couldnā€™t compete with men.

They want to compete with women to win.

Do you really think they go through all of that just to play in female sports? If that is really their motivation then they are not truly trans.

You are conflating two very different topics. Acceptance of a trans family member has nothing to do with allowing a biological male into young female locker rooms.

You were just fine with the democrats changing title IX for 10 mentally ill males. From your post I can see you believe that 10 mentally ill males are more important ten women. Guess all us women need to just shut up because males are more important. Talk about going back to the fifties.
