No, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment does not require that men be allowed to play in women’s sports—even if that man erroneously believes that he is a woman.

It’s very clear, open and shut: the 14th Amendment, passed in the wake of the Civil War, was not created so that men could compete in women’s sports. 📺 Steve Gruber⁩

The contrast could not be more clear. Kamala Harris is anti-woman, she supports men in women’s sports, with her Title IX Amendment and Donald Trump will keep men out of women’s sports! Donald J. Trump is the pro-woman candidate in this race!

How ironic that the Green candidate was a woman who won on the back of promoting a culture that does not recognise women as equal to men.

Former tennis player Martina Navratilova is attacking Trump for threatening to withhold federal funds if the Governor of Maine ignores the law and allows biological men to play women's sports. She also accuses Trump of hating all trans people. This is a textbook example of what TDS does to a person. Here's Navratilova in 2019 saying that biological men should not be allowed to play women's sports. She also said that trans men might just be confused lesbians. Whoa. Does Martina Navratilova hate trans people?

“What is a woman?” comes to the Supreme Court. ALITO: “What is that definition, for equal protection purposes? What does it mean to be a boy or a girl, or a man or a woman?” HARNETT: “...We do not have a definition for the court.”

What a remarkable clip - I passionately disagree with Reform and Widdecombe. I don't care if a man has gone through the 'whole works', he is NOT a woman. No amount of drugs/surgery changes that. He is a MAN. No man should be allowed into women's prisons, spaces or sports. Ever.

This man, I don’t even call him a sheikh. He’s promoting honor killings as a form of discipline. He’s saying Somali men are like Afghan men. Does he not know that Afghan men sleep with young boys? Does he not know that Afghan men are terrorists? Does he not know that Afghan men torture their own women? Yet he wants to compare Somali men to them, indirectly or directly telling Somali men to follow in the footsteps of Afghan men. This is the same man who is married to a non-Somali woman and has mixed children, yet he wants to give advice to Somali men on how to deal with Somali women. This isn’t the first time he’s said things like this. He needs to be stopped and reported He is promoting extremist ideas and inciting hatred and violence against women, and that is completely unacceptable. someone married to non Somali woman, he doesn’t have any saying regarding any Somali women’s affairs.

"The 14th Amendment is a pillar of American law in a good way." Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) gives a defense of the birthright citizenship clause in the 14th Amendment and compares the political climate of today with that of 1868, when the amendment was adopted into the Constitution.

If God made you a man, you should play sports against men. But today, even that simple truth is under attack by the radical Left. As president, I will defend women’s sports, keep men out of the girls’ locker room, and STOP the liberal indoctrination of our children.

STRZOK: “Whatever we see coming out of the SCOTUS, there is going — they can’t unwrite the 14th Amendment. There’s going to have to be some provision that if somebody engages in insurrection, that that does potentially disqualify them from the presidency”

🚨Cal State University Fullerton has a goalkeeper who is a woman pretending to be a man. Her name is “Isaac” Ranson. She was named the Big West Goalkeeper of the Year for 2025. Why does the The CSU leadership insist that “trans women” like SJSU VOLLEYBALL male athlete Brayden “Blaire” Fleming should be allowed in women’s sports when trans-identified female athletes like Ranson are happy to play in the sport that matches their sexed body?

This Canadian college women’s volleyball team has 5 men on it. Only 1 woman is on the court. Women’s sports cease to exist when men play in women’s sports. Seems obvious, but no. Not to some people. 😵‍💫

ICYMI: ENES KANTER FREEDOM GOT THROWN OUT OF A WNBA GAME. His crime? Wearing a shirt that said “Woman: noun, adult human female” and supporting Sophie Cunningham. Natasha Cloud started screaming at him. He stood up. Security jumped in. Ejected. A 6'10" man sitting in the stands supporting women’s sports is somehow the problem. Meanwhile the league still refuses to draw a clear line on biological males in women’s basketball. Kanter is right on the issue. Men do not belong in women’s sports. The fact that this even needs to be debated shows how far things have gone.

Leave it to Alicia Keys to complain about a “flaw” in the Constitution that doesn’t exist. Women have equal-protection rights under the 14th Amendment, and the 19th explicitly says “on account of sex.” She never names one right men have that women don’t. Because there isn’t one. She’s an idiot.
