Women are always jealous of prettier women.

I don’t want to upvote nor downvote; one of the few times I wish we had reactions here. 😆

You know who the toughest woman in Congress is? Senator Duckworth. While she was medevaced out of the crash site where she lost both of her legs, she grabbed a rifle and fired on the enemy. Total badass.

God damn. "I'm not done yet, bank over there."

Meanwhile the knew SecDef thinks women can't handle combat

I wouldn't condone violence, but I'll payperview to see McBride shut her the fuck up in a ring.

i'd line up too. Can't wait until vomit Greene finds out the hard way that trans women often retain a lot of the muscle tone they gain from growing up with testosterone

Nah, after 2 years hrt the physical differences are miniscule.

That makes no sense. Isn't the reason for keeping trans women out of the ladies room supposed to be that they are men and pose a threat to "real" women? If MTG thinks she can take a trans woman in a fight that kind of goes against her case...

Bold of you to assume a fascist is capable of having internally consistent beliefs.

This is a threat without any risk to MTG. If she does it and beats McBride up, she'll be a hero to her base and will get pardoned if she catches a charge. If she does it and McBride fights back, her narrative will become "violent trans people" and "a man dressing as a woman beat up a congressperson." Saying things like this are 100% wins to the psychopath party and their base, and I'm ashamed to share this country with them.

Good thing MTG doesn’t have to worry about this. She’s never actually in the House doing her job. She can continue to shit in podcast studio bathrooms like normal.

I don’t see how this ends well for MTG unless it’s ignored?

MTG wins: she’s just assaulted another politician who happens to be a woman.

McBride wins: MTG is humiliated and while complaining that “she’s really a man” — that will only resonate with people who already agree with MTG. Possibly the goal is to get McBride charged with assault?

Spot on. There's no winning for McBride here; if she does kick MTG's ass, then that's all the more reason for Republicans to go after "men" in women's sports.
