To hoist with one’s own petard” is a phrase from a speech in Hamlet which means literally that the bomb-maker (a “petard” is a small explosive device) is blown up (“hoisted” off the ground) by his own bomb, and indicates an ironic reversal, or poetic justice.
Finally, some pushback against the surreal phenomenon of men being allowed to compete in sports as women: The “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act” (H. R. 5603), was introduced this month to protect women and girls in competitive sports.
Moonbattery The bill prohibits the use of federal funds to support athletic events at which men pretending to be women compete against actual women. Big Education sucks so greedily at the federal teat that this could apply to all college sports. It was introduced by Rep Greg Steube (R-FL), and cosponsored by Debbie Lesko (R-AZ).
“We have heard the heartbreaking stories of young women and girls from across the country who compete in sports but are losing games and even scholarships to biological males who choose to identify as women and girls,” Lesko said. “These sports should be reserved for the women and girls who work hard and train for them, not men.”
That would seem to be a no-brainer. Yet Democrats have unanimously opposed restricting women’s sports to women, so beholden are they to the depraved LGBT agenda.
Women’s sports being ruined by the bizarre phenomenon of transgender athletes include cricket, cycling, rugby, weightlifting, track, handball, football, wrestling, mixed martial arts, basketball, and even the Strong Woman Competition in South Park, Colorado.
Jim Hagedorn (R, MN) also cosponsored the bill. He notes that allowing sexually deranged men to compete as women not only undermines the integrity of women’s sports, but puts ” the safety of female athletes at risk.” He isn’t kidding.
With luck the pushback will continue until all sports distinguish between men and women on a biological rather than leftist political basis, before Fallon Fox or someone like him kills some poor woman.
And from presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, we hear: “Transgender EQUALITY is the civil rights issue of our time”

Glad you have highlighted this Bonni.
Women will give up competing in a few years because there will be no point to any competition when the outcome will be a foregone conclusion.
Speak Up for Women is a NZ organisation that is going into bat for women and they have had to make last minute arrangements for meetings/seminars to avoid protesters and potential violence. Of course they have been branded TERFs (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists) which I guess makes me one too.
Link for speeches of these brave women as NZ is such a small place I’m sure their cards are marked:

If trans want to compete then they need to set up their own trans sport organisations.
BareNakedIslam says
GP, this should signal to all women that feminists have never been for women’s rights, but for power.

The stupidity of the Left has no boundaries. As usual, by trying to satisfy everyone, they end up pleasing no-one. By admitting transgender women, they have undermined the integrity of women’s sports.
Notice how it’s always men transitioning to women before competing in women’s events, rather than the other way around? This nonsense needs to stop.

It’s so beautiful. Sex is just a construct, girls. This is what they want.

Men make better women, the trans world has proven that.

Of course, the transgendered men competing against women have no remorse. The progressives have none either. Those with no scruples or sense of decency are made for each other.
If Not Now When? says
They have lots of “values”, but no morals or ethics…
Az gal says
The trannies can still compete- against their biological sex. This bill is overdue. I don’t understand how the Demoncraps can oppose it, but deranged they are. They obviously don’t have a daughter in competitive sports.

Madness……
Andrew says
The females that identity themselves as feminists or Democrats and allow these “men” to compete in “female” events should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for betraying everything that real women have fought for over the past few decades.
They are helping nobody in this practice and in fact are destroying the lives of young women… How progress…
southern knight says
There is hope for the CLINTON s yer Hilary has a lot of male traits as far as wo,em are concerned and as for Bill let others decide .Both good Democrats definitely worth voting for to destroy any sense of moral right in the USA.Seems to be a common theme or agenda in all left socialist political parties world wide .By destroyingthe country is the plan.
Grace Joy says
If one wanted to get females to stop playing sports in USA on their own, how might one do it? Frustrate them by giving them no way to win against men. Voila, Islam doesn’t want women playing sports, being strong, etc. It’s too bad that rapone soccer woman doesn’t have to play against men.
tommy mc donnell says
why does liberal America allow homosexual males to compete against women in sport but will not let hetro-sexual men compete against women in these same sports? boy talk about sexist bigotry!

David Hogg the anti Guns rodent thinks centuries of transgender & other deviates would support his treason. Both Illhen Omar and Hogg supporting transgender freaks destroying womens’ sports is enough to throw all transgenders to the Taliban !

Great idea!
