  Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Wi Ken from Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosatto and nice
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: to begin with you on a Thursday, a Friday eve,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: we like to call it.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: With this great long holiday weekend upon us.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: You know, ten years ago the concept of biological males
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and female sports wouldn't have been taken seriously by just
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: about anybody.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: But the far left in America.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Loves to push and push and push until the rest
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: of society finally pushes back and says, knock it off.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: And then they look at the mainstream society's whoa, whoa,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: what would he mean?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Well, a number of states started pushing back, stopping biological
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: males from competing on female teams, and they got sued.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: But the Supreme Court this week finally decided that states
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: have the right to say no to trans athletes wanting
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to compete on teams opposite the gender that they were
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: assigned at birth. Former San Jose State volleyball player Brooks
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Slusser is now with the Independent Council on Women's Sports
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and is applauding the High Court's decision. We say good
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: morning to you, Brook, Good morning, how are you wonderful?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you and very happy as I'm sure you are
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: about the Supreme Court's decision, at least one decision that
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: it seems like they got right here.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: So the Supreme Court.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Looked at two cases in this case that they put together,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: it was West Virginia versus BPJ and Little versus he Cocks.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And in Little versus he Cocks, specifically, the state of
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Idaho passed the Fairness in Women's Sports Act way back
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, prohibiting trans women and girls aka biological males,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: from competing on female teams. A biological male identifying as
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a female and going by the name Lindsay Heacocks wanted
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to try out for Boise State University's track and cross
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: country teams but was told no. And that's how this
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: all started, right, And this decision was not that it's
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: not that certain states can't still have biological males on
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: women's sports.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's just that it's up to the state to decide.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Correct exactly, yes, So why.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Is anybody pro testing that that's the one thing we
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: still need to work on.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: This is a big win and it is exciting, like
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: you said, but we still have I want to say,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: it's twenty three states that are choosing to allow it
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to still happen having men on women's sports teams. So
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: this is a big win and it is very exciting.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: But like you said, states can still pick for themselves,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: so we still have a lot more work to you
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to make sure that the states that are still allowing
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: it change their minds on that topic.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So here's here's a question, Brook, How does the father
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: of any daughter who's attending a college as an athlete?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: How does that father here? Yes, it sounds sexist. I'm
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: speaking up with the dads here. How does any father
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: say it's okay that my daughter is going to be
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: slammed in the head at ninety miles an hour by
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a volleyball thrust upon her by a guy who identifies
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: today as a woman. How does any fathership back and go,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: oh whatever, I don't get it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I I don't get it either. I mean my dad,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: just from my situation, he was absolutely livid, like right
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: as he found out everything that was going on. He
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: was driving or flying up to be with me the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: whole time, and he was absolutely pissed at my coaching staff,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: my compliance that hid it from me and my team.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: So personally, I just don't understand again how a dad
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: could be okay with it. I had a dad that
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: definitely was not, so he did everything in his power
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: to be there for me when I was having to
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: go through that hard time.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I laugh at the fact that in
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: every case of trans athletes and the whole issue being brought.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Up, we don't have a case. We don't have a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: case of.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: A woman who is a trans male fighting to compete
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: on a man's team. Do you notice that it's always
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: men fighting to be a woman identifying as a woman,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and so they have the physiological attributes of a man
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and could be superior in strength and speed and response
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: on a sports team.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Why is that think? Is it me? Or am I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the only weirdo that has noticed that?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: No, believe me, I have talked about this a lot,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: and I think it's pretty obvious. The reasoning is because
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: any women or girl that tries to say or become
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: a man quote unquote knows that they would get trampled
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and humiliated trying to play on any men's team. So
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: they still play on their women's sports teams like they should.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: But these men that are coming in trying to call
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: themselves girls or women are dominating every field of athletics
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: that they join because they are scientifically biologically better superior,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: as it should be. I mean, we all know this.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: These are scientific basic facts.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Right, And even if if they are caught pre puberty
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and given puberty blockers, males are born endemically. They are
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: born any doctor will tell you already with a larger frame,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: larger deltoids, larger shoulders, even before the massive amounts of
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: testosterone come in at puberty, so that physiologically they're already different.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Their cells already respond differently, the twitch cells and whatnot.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Any scientist worth their salt who is honest will tell
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you that. So it's not just like, well, this little
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: boy was given puberty blockers, which, by the way, should
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: be criminal to be given puberty blockers, because, by the way,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I had an uncle. Puberty blockers, for those who don't know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: stop the testes from producing large amounts of testosterone in
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the case of the male, puberty blockers, and that's what
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: they give men who have prosta cancer because testosterone feeds
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: cancer tumors and prostate cancer, and so they used to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the cure for prostaate cancer. If you will aw the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: treatment at the cure. The treatment used to be to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: remove a man's testicles, and now they use something that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: was a pre prona I forget what it's called, something
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: known the name of the drug, and they give you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: this drug that basically puts the testes to sleep so
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: they don't produce testosterone, and so that's a puberty blocker,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: but it can permanently disable or damage the testes. So
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: if the child at fourteen changes his mind and decides
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I do want to be a man, at that point,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: it might be too late. This is why it is
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: so crazy. But that's another argument for another day. I'm
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: sorry Brooke to go off on that tangent. But now
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the problem is, as we just addressed in the beginning,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: if forty percent of the states still do permit biological
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: males and women's sports, how will you compete interstate? Will
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you just have to have one league that is just
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: all female and another league that is mixed female and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: biological male.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, the MTAA was made on the fact that
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: there is separate men's and women's sports, and it's been
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: like that for ages. Obviously this is a known thing.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think we need to change that. I think
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you just you have to play in your biological sex sport,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and that's how it should be. That's how it's always been,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: that's the fair way to play, like you just said,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: with younger kids trying to be transgenders or whatever they
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: call them. I coach the thirteen's girls team, and there
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: was a boy calling himself a girl that we had
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: to play against, and he whooped their butt. So this
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: is at every level that it's an issue. It's not
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: just college athletics that once these men are getting to
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: that age of more development and everything, that there's still
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: so much more superior at every age that they try
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: and call themselves girls or women. It's a big issue,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: not even just on the court, but off the court,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: in the girls' locker rooms, the girl's bathrooms, and so
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: there's issues and problems with this situation and every aspect
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: of it when you look at it from outside and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: then when you're in it on the inside. It's the
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: most traumatizing experience, at least for me and for everyone
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: else that I know has gone through it in my life.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: You can't take that time back. You only get so
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: much time playing the sport you love. So there's so
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: many problems with it, and the issues are the people
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: that are allowing it to happen. So that's why I
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: say this win is big, but we still need to
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: hold accountable to people that have allowed this to happen
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: in the first place, the individuals that caused these issues
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to happen period.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Any plan on suing the states that are still allowing
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: this to happen based on the Supreme Court decision.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Not as of now. I still have my lawsuits that
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: are going on with a bunch of other young women
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: athletes and icons with the Title nine issues at hand
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: that they cross the line protecting these my member women's
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Title nine rules. So we're working on that right now,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: which hopefully would make a difference for every state.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Now, this is so unfair to women, young girls who
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: have trained since grammar school in different sports and then
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: literally had everything so from them because of a bunch
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: of quote unquote do good little white liberals who think
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that they know best. They tell everybody.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I've seen memes online of like white liberal women telling
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: African American men how they should be voting, and it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: like shut up, just shut up and stop with your
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: phony empathy. It's like be quiet, sit down, stay in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: your lane. Brooks Lusser with the Independent Council on Women's Sports. Thanks,
