Every attack on the autonomy of transgender bodies easily, and predictably extends to both female and male bodies. We are witnessing state mandated hormonal standards. A branch of human animal husbandry otherwise known as Eugenics. Make no mistake: this is not equal justice, it destroys individual liberty. Freedom won’t be a word for nothing left to lose. It will be a state of being our youngest children may never realize.

First they came for the transgender athletes, then they came for the women athletes...

We all knew this wasn't about us but a broader hidden agenda of rolling back rights for everyone except the ultra elite. All of the transphobes will evenly wake up to the realization that they have been played AGAIN in the same way MAGA supporters are slowly realizing they were just a pawn in the charade known as political theater.

Next they'll be saying that women shouldn't read novels because it makes their uteruses wander.

These are literally the people who claim women are "lesser vessels."

Dr. Scott Yenor's rhetoric and Boise State University's willingness to give it a platform reinforce harmful stereotypes that generations for not only the Transgender community, but for women as whole have fought to overcome. Let's be honest about what this worldview represents: Trying to eliminate the transgender community and taking women backward to a time when their "proper" place was supposedly in the home—cooking, raising children, and staying out of positions of influence. Those battles were fought decades. In 2026, it's astonishing that anyone still promotes these ideas. Equality doesn't threaten society; it threatens those who are uncomfortable sharing opportunity and power. Universities should be places that challenge outdated stereotypes, not lend credibility to them.

I hope those affected by this who’ve relentlessly fought to attack trans people enjoy all their fairness and safety. Don’t ask us for help🙋🏼‍♀️

Based on my experience raising three daughters and seeing the women they have become, there's no question -- this guy is a complete idiot. Funny that the asshole class that protects the raping Epsteins and Trumps of the world and holds up Fake Wrestling as something to be aspired to wonders why young men are falling behind young women in academics. Beside Heritage, he's also connected to Claremont. The more these people show themselves the better. Thanks for the reporting, S. Baum. 🏳️‍⚧️✊

Funny how that leopard doesn't distinguish so clearly between faces, isn't it Nancy Mace and clan? Or, to put it another way: be careful what you ask for; you might just get it.

It will be "interesting" to see if any of the loud TERF voices notice that attacks on some women are, indeed, attacks on all.

Oh look, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 that other shoe we kept warning everyone about! Funny how that works. You let a camel get its nose in the tent... next thing you know, cis girls can't play sports either because RFK Jr. thinks physical activity will make their baby-makers fall out, or something.

I'd ask how the illustrious Ms. Gaines feels about those leopards now, but she quit sports when she got her ticket punched on the Wingnut Welfare Gravy Train. Guess 𝘴𝘩𝘦'𝘴 safe- until they institute pregnancy quotas, that is. Every uterus must do its patriotic duty, the rest of the person carrying it be damned!

I'll be in my barfing corner if anyone needs me.

Holy 💩. It just occurred to me that Hegseth’s testosterone hormone replacement policy will set a precedent for hormone therapy in women to promote pregnancy gestation lactation etc. Sigh. I hope I’m just in conspiracy mode.

We all knew this was coming - at least I should hope that anyone following Erin would have known this was coming. We've all been screaming about it at the top of our lungs, but the world doesn't want to listen, and they've buried their heads in the sand, and here we are.

I can't believe this nation is taking a century's worth of steps backwards.

You must protect women's sports by dismantling it. That about reich.

“If we want a great nation, we should be preparing young women to become mothers [...] not finding every reason for young women to delay motherhood until they are established in a career or sufficiently independent.”

My guy not that I agree but you're going to have to pay men A LOT more if you want women to stop working

Sounds like the Handmaid's Tale. . . I have no doubt that's what they are hoping to achieve
