"It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views," Jean-Pierre said. "There is no 'yes or no' answer to this, it is complicated. There is a rule that the Department of Education [DOE] has put forward, and we're going to let that process move forward, and again, we want to make sure that while we establish guardrails with this rule, we also prevent discrimination, as well, against transgender kids. But again, a complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that."
"Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this," New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "It is indefensible and embarrassing. The admin can still walk this back, and they should. It's a disgrace."
"Honestly, this move by Biden to push a rule on trans kids in sports is not only a backwards betrayal, it [forces] us to have to spend our time dealing with god d*** sports instead of criminal bans on our healthcare," Alejandra Caraballo, a civil rights attorney and LGBTQ+ advocate, wrote. "He could have just done nothing. This is legitimizing transphobia."

"A complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that" Fuck off out of here with that "centrist" nonsense. There's nothing complicated about it, and it's not an issue unless you want to turn it into one and want to appeal to people's emotions like Republicans are doing. It was only a matter of time before they'd start throwing trans people under the bus. I guess with the coming elections it's as good a time as ever.
Hey now! As a Liberal I absolutely think a untrained trans athlete is comparable to a cis athlete who's honed their entire body for the sport and isn't going through HRT is comparable!!
Just because trans athletes have their muscle mass changed by HRT and are competing with a body that they are unfamiliar with in terms of limits and physical composition doesn't mean they don't have an arbitrary advantage I assume (read: made up) because I don't understand how HRT affects muscle mass or that i think education should be gatekeeped based on income, sports and academic ability.
Edit: to any libs lurking don't come at me with the whole fast release power vs endurance muscle composition of afab and amab athletes because it's wacky biological essentialism that doesn't apply to a trans athletes muscle composition.
Edit 2: this pisses me off because most of the athletes kicking up a fuss are white athletes who already accused black athletes of being trans or intersex because they dominate or "have higher testosterone levels" and they are salty af about just losing and trans athletes are an easy scapegoat.
"fast release power vs endurance" sounds like a rebrand of the "fast twitch muscles" bs
It is but with more manosphere to it.
Whatever one says about the state trans issue, fast and slow twitch muscle fibers are real categories of muscle. One is for short burst and the other for sustained exertion. Humans lean towards slow twitch and chimps towards fast twitch, which is part of why they can rip us apart.
Is it possible to train fast vs slow muscles or have I been lied to on the interwebs?
Absolutely, though you will never be engaging 100% one and 0% the other and there are differences between individuals (due to hormones, etc.). Isometric exercises like planks are mainly slow twitch and bursts of exertion like in burpees or sprints or powerlifting are more short twitch.
You will always be training both, but you can lean one way or the other.
I really enjoy the fact that humans, spindly and fragile as we are, found our physical advantages in "being kinda slow" and "being really sweaty"
We're basically biological Terminators that can walk at things to death
