The National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) is now The National Law Center.
Then again, I’m not shocked. A quick look at its webpage reveals a far-leftist organization obsessed with abortion.
The law center, represented by the ACLU, ACLU of Georgia, and Cooley LLP, seeks to intervene in the lawsuit brought forth by Riley Gaines and other female NCAA athletes to ban males from competing in female college sports.
If the district court agrees, the NWLC can participate “in all future proceedings, including any potential trial.”
“The anti trans extremists who brought this lawsuit seek to impose extreme nationwide bans and policies that range from excluding trans women from sports teams, to completely erasing their recorded existence as athletes,” NWLC wrote in a press statement. “They wrongly claim that such relief is needed to protect the rights of cisgender women. Unfortunately, these extremists have already succeeded in intimidating the NCAA to sharply narrow its previously long-term policy supporting trans women athletes who were receiving gender-affirming healthcare.”
Stop. Using. Cis. I am a FEMALE.
NWLC claims it can intervene due to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(b)(1). It “allows permissive intervention upon timely motion by any third-party that (1) has a conditional right to intervene under federal statute.”
While Plaintiffs purport to speak on behalf of all women, they do not represent the interests of women who are transgender and want to continue participating in NCAA sports, nor the cisgender women who want to continue participating with them. Their attempts to exclude transgender women from NCAA sports actually hurt all women—transgender and cisgender alike—by reinforcing pernicious sex stereotypes and depriving all individuals of the benefits of inclusive policies. Transgender inclusion helps all women and girls learn free from sex stereotypes and ensures all women and girls can enjoy the lifelong benefits of playing school sports.
The NWLC also has the nerve to complain that the plaintiffs “refuse to acknowledge transgender women in their Complaint, offensively referring to them as ‘male’ or ‘males.'”
Yeah, well, they are MALES so get over it.
According to the NWLC, Gaines and the other females have weaponized Title IX. That’s precious.
The NWLC claims the plaintiffs have little experience and perspective because only two competed against a male. So, if you haven’t competed with or against a male, you don’t have a voice.
How about the females who not only don’t want to compete with or against a male but also don’t want males in the locker room, showers, and restrooms? A young female athlete close to me is petrified at the thought, especially since she plays volleyball. Her feelings don’t matter.
By the way, no one is preventing these males from playing “college sports with their peers.” Compete with the MALES.
I hate it when feminists call pro-life females sex traitors because you know who are the sex traitors?
Females who side with these males.
“This lawsuit is not only an attack on trans women and girls–it’s an attack on all women and girls,” said Jennesa Calvo-Friedman, Staff Attorney for the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project. “Policing who is, or isn’t, a woman subjects all women and girls to intrusive and humiliating scrutiny. In states across the country, we’ve seen cis and trans girls alike subjected to invasive questioning and harassment because their hair is too short, or they perform too well, to be considered ‘real girls.’ Women’s sports are critical because they provide freedom from pressure to comply with expectations about how women should look and behave, but this lawsuit diminishes that freedom and joy.”
Don’t group me with males. I am not a male. I am a female.
This isn’t about feels or emotions. It’s about biology. The XX chromosomes. It’s bad enough that the NCAA uses hormones to determine who can compete with females.
