WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the debate around whether transgender women should be allowed to compete in women\u2019s sports continues, congressional Republicans and Democrats came together in a rare moment of bipartisanship with a new bill that would ban women from women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were all scratching our heads, wondering why we hadn\u2019t thought of it before,\u201d Senator Ted Cruz told The Gas Lamp. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to watch women play sports anyway, so why not let biological men play. Then we thought, why not let only men play? It would be a hell of a lot more fun to watch, and it\u2019s exactly what the Democrats want to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new agreement comes just a few weeks after President Trump signed an executive order banning transgender women from competing in women\u2019s sports and threatened to withhold federal funding from states that defied his orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the bipartisan agreement, President Trump is reportedly standing by his original plan and lobbying on-the-fence Republicans to vote against the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI understand where they\u2019re coming from,\u201d Trump said in a press conference on Monday. \u201cBut I explained a very important principle to them. I call it the \u2018Volleyball Paradox\u2019. Just because the sport may not be that interesting doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not worth watching, if you know what I mean. Those volleyball girls are something else, and I\u2019d rather see a bulge in the back than a bulge in the front.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time of publication, some Republicans were reportedly considering voting against the new bill when Democrats added a last-minute amendment that would replace the Lingerie Football League with a Twinks In Speedos Football League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
