Latest / Let's Ask the Mamas! / Trans Sports Ruling
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mamas, what
- 0:03Speaker 1: do you think of the Supreme Court saying men can
- 0:06Speaker 1: be banned from playing in women's sports.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas. Alma mama, she said.
- 0:23Speaker 1: And joining us now are American Mama Terry Netterville. Okay,
- 0:26Speaker 1: So the ruling came down early today. This is one
- 0:29Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court's rulings today. This one says that
- 0:32Speaker 1: the states that have banned men from playing in women's
- 0:34Speaker 1: sports can do that. It doesn't say that the states
- 0:38Speaker 1: that have allowed men to play in women's sports can't
- 0:41Speaker 1: do that. So apparently those states can still allow men
- 0:45Speaker 1: to play and boys to play in girls' sports.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Yeah, but the attorneys for this have said, we're going
- 0:51Speaker 2: after those twenty three states. Okay, because of the wording,
- 0:54Speaker 2: because of the verbiage of the Supreme Court justice, the
- 0:57Speaker 2: way that it all came out, they're able to use
- 1:00Speaker 2: that not only in those twenty three states, but in
- 1:02Speaker 2: all states not only get the boys out of the
- 1:04Speaker 2: girls play grounds and sports teams at the locker rooms,
- 1:10Speaker 2: and exactly out of their bathrooms in private spaces as well.
- 1:15Speaker 2: So that's coming. So those twenty three states are probably
- 1:18Speaker 2: not as comfortable as they were yesterday because of this ruling.
- 1:22Speaker 1: But this isn't just about the locker rooms. This is
- 1:26Speaker 1: part of it, right, yeah, but this is also about
- 1:28Speaker 1: hotel rooms. So I don't know if you did this
- 1:30Speaker 1: when you were in high school, but we went on
- 1:34Speaker 1: field trips that were overnight field trips sometimes and stayed
- 1:37Speaker 1: in hotels and we stayed four boys to a room
- 1:40Speaker 1: and the girls would stay four girls to a room
- 1:42Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, it was pretty packed in there,
- 1:44Speaker 1: because you know, it's public school. But that would have
- 1:49Speaker 1: been very odd and awkward to have had a boy
- 1:52Speaker 1: in a girls room or a girl in a boys room.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I mean, that just would have been not okay.
- 1:56Speaker 2: And that's been a complaint by a lot of these
- 1:58Speaker 2: female athletes. Yeah, you know, some of them didn't even
- 2:01Speaker 2: know that who they were rooming with was a biological male.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and if you're sleeping again, those are queen
- 2:08Speaker 1: sized beds, so you're sleeping to do a bed, you're
- 2:10Speaker 1: sleeping in a bed with a guy and you have
- 2:12Speaker 1: no idea.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a huge deal that came out, But
- 2:15Speaker 2: today everything that we know to be true, it was
- 2:20Speaker 2: just kind of brought to us by sco To saying, yes,
- 2:24Speaker 2: there is a biological difference between men and women, boys
- 2:28Speaker 2: and girls. This is a biological fact. And I have
- 2:31Speaker 2: to read a couple of things, a couple of passages
- 2:33Speaker 2: from like Justice Clarence.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Thommy, some of your favorites.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Yes, these are the ones that it just it kind
- 2:38Speaker 2: of just feels me up because it almost I can
- 2:42Speaker 2: only imagine that this might be what it felt like
- 2:44Speaker 2: when Title nine went through. You just think, Okay, I
- 2:48Speaker 2: can breathe again, because you don't know, you don't know
- 2:50Speaker 2: how these things are going to square off. Because the
- 2:52Speaker 2: three liberal women that you would think would be all
- 2:55Speaker 2: for this were the ones who voted no. They voted
- 2:58Speaker 2: against it.
- 2:58Speaker 1: And one of them has no idea what a woman is.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, exactly, Jackson. It's so bizarre. But this
- 3:04Speaker 2: is what Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in a concurring opinion.
- 3:09Speaker 2: He said men and boys with gender dysphoria are not
- 3:12Speaker 2: women or girls, even if they believe that they are.
- 3:15Speaker 2: A man does not have a legal right to compete
- 3:17Speaker 2: against women just because he believes that he is a woman.
- 3:20Speaker 2: And then he says to use language to obscure reality.
- 3:24Speaker 2: To show indifference regarding the truth is to lie to
- 3:27Speaker 2: the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens as equals.
- 3:31Speaker 1: That yes, amen, amen to that.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And apparently it was Kavanaugh who apparently he has daughters
- 3:40Speaker 2: and he coaches them in their teams. Okay, and so
- 3:42Speaker 2: he kind of he went further. And when I was
- 3:45Speaker 2: watching the attorney, I can't think of her name. And
- 3:48Speaker 2: then one of the Idaho players that has been really
- 3:51Speaker 2: at the forefront of all of this, when you know
- 3:53Speaker 2: six years ago she or five years ago, she was
- 3:58Speaker 2: trying then to sound the alarm. She lost a position,
- 4:01Speaker 2: she lost races to the biological boys that were coming
- 4:04Speaker 2: in as transgenders. And so Kavanaugh said, separate sports teams
- 4:11Speaker 2: for biological males and biological females are reasonable given the
- 4:15Speaker 2: inherent physical differences between the sexes. Allowing only biological females
- 4:19Speaker 2: to play on women's and girls teams can reduce the
- 4:22Speaker 2: risk of physical injury and ensure fair competition. Some might ask,
- 4:26Speaker 2: what is the harm in allowing an additional athlete to
- 4:29Speaker 2: compete in women's or girls' sports. That sentiment, though understandable,
- 4:33Speaker 2: misunderstands the nature and reality of sports. Sports are highly
- 4:37Speaker 2: competitive and generally zero sum. At almost every turn, someone
- 4:41Speaker 2: wins and someone loses. Of course, he goes on and on,
- 4:44Speaker 2: but this is what we've seen. We have seen girls
- 4:46Speaker 2: not only get just completely obliterated in their sport, you know,
- 4:50Speaker 2: record wise, we have seen them get injured. They've had
- 4:54Speaker 2: brain injuries, they had to quit their sports completely.
- 4:59Speaker 1: The girl those Arizona I think is an Arizona volleyball player. Yeah,
- 5:02Speaker 1: she's going to go to college and play volleyball. And
- 5:04Speaker 1: she got a concussion from a male player. Yes, and
- 5:08Speaker 1: she never played volleyball again.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Right. These girls have come out of the woodwork, and
- 5:13Speaker 2: I think with each passing year they've gotten braver and
- 5:15Speaker 2: braver because they understand. If they don't fight for this now,
- 5:20Speaker 2: and they don't go all the way to the Supreme
- 5:22Speaker 2: Court like they have done, that means that other girls
- 5:25Speaker 2: would get hurt, the other girls would not receive the
- 5:28Speaker 2: scholarships that they saved, the other girls would be kicked
- 5:31Speaker 2: off the podium by male who pretends to be a female.
- 5:35Speaker 2: This has changed everything. It feels like one little piece
- 5:38Speaker 2: of our country has gone slightly back to normal. Women
- 5:42Speaker 2: play women's sports.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Love that men like desker. American Mama's question, Go to
