Dec. 11 (UPI) -- For Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, and Republican Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., introduced a bill Thursday tying Title IX protections for female athletes based on "biological sex."

The bill, which attempts to address the issue of transgender women in sports, clarifies that Title IX compliance should be "determined on the basis of biological sex as determined at birth by a physician."

Title IX outlaws discrimination based on sex at any school receiving federal funding. The law has been widely used in promoting the growth of women's collegiate sports, placing them on equal footing as men's sports.

Recently court rulings pointed to the law for allowing transgender women to play on women's sports teams.

Tulsi Gabbard has been yanking the Democratic Party's chain. Once a rising star. She is now banished from the DNC.

"Tulsi Gabbard: assigned Republican at birth," McBride wrote on Twitter.

LBGTQ rights advocate Charlotte Clymer called the legislation "blatantly transphobic" and accused Gabbard supporters of using trans people as "bargaining chips."

"Usually, when I've criticized Tulsi Gabbard in the past for her heinous record and positions, I've had her fans bombard me with nonsense," Clymer said. "It'll be interesting to see how quiet they remain over this."

If it weren't for the fact that she can't be trusted, she could very well be making a play to convert to R. Not now, but downstream.

During the clown car of Democrat primaries and caucuses, I once posted that Gabbard seemed at least a little reasonable for a Dem.  Not one I'd vote for, of course.  But some can be reasoned with.

It is always enjoyable schadenfreude to watch the left tear apart one another over such arcane issues.

Agreed. The term "reasonable" resonates, coupled with the fact she was/is NG helps too. But after having read her various positions on the issues posted on her web site, it was crystal-clear that above it all, she's a Dem.

Easy on the eyes, too. But nope. No way in hell. Trojan Horse material, that one.
