A Republican Representative has openly shared his belief that enforcing further trans sports bans will encourage people to detransition, or “switch back.” Congressman Glenn Grothman was one of a number of representatives who spoke at Tuesday’s (5 December) House Oversight Committee hearing on Title IX guidance, which would protect trans student athletes’ right to participate in sports.

During his time, Grothman expressed a misguided belief that putting legal restrictions on trans student-athletes might push people who identify as trans to “switch back” to their gender assigned at birth.

Grothman addressed witness Sarah Parshall Perry of the anti-LGBTQ+ Heritage Foundation when he said: “I sometimes wonder if we normalise the idea of guys playing in women’s sports, are you kind of wondering if we are creating a system which would be tragic if it is true, that some of these guys will never switch back?” He then blatantly spread misinformation by adding: “I think it would have been too bad if they would have been one of the 80 or 90 per cent who snap back but, because of this, they won’t.” Here, Grothman is seemingly referring to a widely discredited claim that 80 per cent of trans kids will eventually detransition.

In actuality, proved that 97.5 per cent of trans kids still identify as trans after five years, rather than re-transitioning to their assigned gender at birth.

In response, Perry claimed that “playing on a team that you want specifically for your gender identity, not based on sex, is an entry into ultimate medical transitioning and gender identarian surgery.” She also falsely alleged that 75 percent of trans children “make peace with their natal biological sex” by the time they’re adults.

Grothman and Perry’s comments and false claims further prove Republican intentions to restrict trans student-athletes, not to protect women as they often suggest, but simply to make trans people’s lives more difficult.

Elsewhere in Tuesday’s hearing, Democratic Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made this point, arguing that politicians who wanted to restrict trans athletes were putting all women in “Per usual, I don’t believe we’re sitting here in a panel of men that has actually thought about the biology and privacy consequences of all women, trans or cisgender, here,” she told the hearing.

“We’re supposed to sit here on this side of the dias… and see a party that has voted against women’s access to abortion, voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Equal Pay Act, voted against the Violence Against Women Act, voted against our right to have access to contraception, and also doesn’t even vote for equal funding, equitable funding in women’s sports and I’m supposed to believe this is who’s looking out for my best interests? I think not.” It is estimated that there are 1.6 million transgender people in the US (less than one per cent of the nation’s population) – very few of whom are actually participating in school sports that align with their gender identity.

Grothman is among the concerning number of congressmen who have expressly displayed anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, whether it was voting against last year’s Respect for Marriage Act because of his opposition to same-sex marriage, or complaining that there weren’t enough “white guys who were not gay” being appointed as federal judges.

Last year, the Wisconsin rep.

Made headlines when he complained about Pride flags being flown over US embassies during Pride month – or, as he put it, “gay month”.

Grothman inexplicably decided that, by flying Pride flags at US embassies, it would give other countries the impression that being gay was “the secret to America’s wealth and prosperity.”

but I also know that the way I was moving through life before is not how I want to go forward,' she wrote. 'So to those struggling, stand strong, walk proud, you've come so far.

'I felt really lost after I finished swimming,' she said.

'I didn't feel like I had any purpose or any direction and I didn't feel like anybody understood. 'I felt like I haven't really trained for anything since I finished competing – like I haven't really had a goal to work towards, one specific thing.' She previously revealed that she suffered from anxiety and depression that left her feeling 'lost and confused', with the condition worsening when there was a major swimming competition taking place.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — teams stocked up on pitching Wednesday in the big league phase of the winter meeting draft of unprotected players, taking pitchers with eight of the 10 selections — including three from the New York Yankees' system. The Yankees lost a pair of right-handers in the first two picks, with Oakland taking Mitch Spence and Kansas City selecting Matt Sauer.

Texas, fresh off its , took right-hander Carson Coleman from the Yankees with the No. 23 selection. Washington, drafting fifth, was one of two clubs to take a position player when it chose shortstop Nasim Nuñez from the Florida Marlins' system.

Cleveland selected third baseman Deyvison De Los Santos from the Arizona Diamondbacks' system. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo wants to see how manager Dave Martinez can use Nuñez, even though the 23-year-old infielder born in the Bronx likely won't get a lot of major league at-bats.

Rizzo wants his coaches to iron out some mechanical issues with Nuñez, adding strength and flexibility. “He gives Davey an option off the bench, a defensive replacement, elite defensive skills, and a baserunner, base stealer, and a guy that can help us win games at the big league level,” Rizzo said.

Teams pay $100,000 to take a player in the major league portion of what is called the Rule 5 draft. The players must stay on the big league roster all of next season or clear waivers and be offered back to their original organization for $50,000.

The Athletics plan on giving Spence every chance to make the roster as a starter. General manager Dave Forst said there's always a chance Spence winds up in the bullpen if no rotation spot is available.

“But we’ll give him every opportunity to make the team,” Forst said. Spence, 25, was a 10th-round pick by the Yankees in the 2019 amateur draft out of South Carolina Aiken. The native of Kirkland, Washington, spent this season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 4.35 ERA.

“We’re not looking at his ERA,” Forst said. “There’s enough information now to break down his pitches, his swing-and-miss stuff, his other metrics.” The Chicago White Sox took left-hander Shane Drohan at No. 4 from the Boston system. Drohan was a fifth-round pick in 2020 out of Florida State, and White Sox general manager Chris Getz said they have some history with Drohan from his time with the Seminoles.

Drohan spent time at Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester in 2023. "We got some early spring training looks on him this year, and we liked what we saw,” Getz said.

“An opportunity to take a shot on an arm we feel has the potential to have some survival skills at the major level to begin with and, long term, a little bit of upside that could potentially be a rotation piece.” The New York Mets took right-hander Justin Slaten from the Texas Rangers’ system at No.

8, then for minor league lefty Ryan Ammons. Slaten, 26, had a 2.87 ERA at Double-A and Triple-A for the Rangers this year. Texas took him in the third round of the 2019 amateur draft. The Mets got Ammons, 22, who was a 10th-round pick in July's amateur draft out of Clemson.

EVERYONE thought that Newcastle had their pants pulled down by Everton after splashing £40million on Anthony Gordon in January. And they were howling when, in Toon’s Amazon Prime documentary, co-owner Amanda Staveley insisted the “extraordinary” Scouser would be “one of the best players in the league”.

Wideman Anthony Gordon has already notched six goals for Newcastle this season Credit: Getty Gordon left first club Everton for the Magpies in January 2023 Credit: Alamy Well, fast forward 11 months and the Magpies are having the last laugh as demands for a first England call-up grow.

Hounded out of Goodison Park, Toffees fans were convinced they had offloaded a supposed bad egg. But after six goals and three assists this term the winger is well on his way to justifying the fee — as well as Staveley’s prophecy. A first return to his boyhood club came in April as a late sub with the Toon 4-1 up and Goodison half empty.

But the home fans will be baying for blood tonight with the forward’s acrimonious exit still fresh in the memory. After a 2-1 January defeat by Southampton, a furious mob — who did not think he was up for the relegation fight — chased his car following what was his last Everton game.

And Magpies boss Eddie Howe urged the red-hot Gordon to block out the noise and silence the boo boys. Howe said: “It will be an explosive atmosphere. “Anthony has to be prepared for whatever reception he gets — but just focus on his football.

That’s all he can do. “If you think about things you can’t control, you take your mind off of what you can. “He needs to control the things that make his performance as good as it can be, which he has been doing on a consistent basis recently.” Gordon, 22, struggled to adapt to Howe’s demands but started this season on fire having been named Player of the Tournament as England won the Under-21 Euros over the summer.

Howe added: “I had no issue with him when he first signed, he just wanted everything there and then.

“He wanted to play, score goals and do well, which I understand and is natural but going to a new club is never easy. There’s always a transitional period, no matter how experienced you are. “This season we’ve really seen him grow and develop because of his fitness levels being so high due to his work with England in the summer.” Martin Dubravka replaces Nick Pope in goal tonight after the England keeper was ruled out for at least four months with a dislocated shoulder.

Toon may look for a replacement, with free agent David de Gea an option.

Howe said: “We’ve not made any enquiries or decisions. “This is a chance for the keepers we have to consolidate their positions.” Publisher

LAS VEGAS -- said that it was "senseless" that nothing continues to change when it comes to gun control in the United States in the wake of Wednesday's mass shooting on the campus of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas that left at least three victims dead. "Yeah, my brother from back home texted me and told me to be safe out here because he heard about the shooting at UNLV," James said during his press conference at T-Mobile Arena ahead of the inaugural In-Season Tournament semifinals Thursday, when his will take on the .

"First of all, my condolences go to the families that lost loved ones, families and friends and everything.

"It just goes back to what I said before about guns in America. I think it's such a longer conversation, but we keep dealing with the same story, this same conversation every single time it happens, and it just continues to happen.

The ability to get a gun, the ability to do these things over and over and over, and there's been no change is literally ridiculous. It makes no sense that we continue to lose innocent lives, on campuses, schools, at shopping markets and movie theaters and all type of stuff.

It's ridiculous. "The fact that we haven't changed anything -- it's actually been easier to be able to own a firearm ... It's stupid." Wednesday's attack at about 11:45 a.m. PT, which took place only a few miles away on the famous Strip from the 2017 massacre that killed 60 country music fans and wounded hundreds more, sent police swarming onto the campus while students and professors barricaded themselves inside classrooms and dorm rooms.

Authorities gave the all-clear about 40 minutes after the first report of an active shooter.

Adam Garcia, a university police official, said officers found and "engaged" a suspect, who is now dead. It was not immediately clear how the suspect died. Police did not immediately release any details about the victims, the suspect or a possible motive.

James has been a vocal advocate for gun control and reform for years, joining a consistent stream of voices from the NBA - including coach Steve Kerr - on the issue whenever mass shootings have taken place across the country pleading for the government to make changes to the nation's gun laws.

As of now, the expectation is that the shooting won't impact the schedule of events for the league here this week, as the NBA has converged on the city for the first In-Season Tournament, the longtime ambition of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver that has successfully debuted this year.

The Lakers will play in the second of two semifinals here Thursday, with the and playing beforehand. The winners of both games will meet in the tournament's championship game Saturday evening.

David Moyes thinks Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham revolution is no surprise - because his success at Celtic made it a dead cert that he would thrive in the Premier League . West Ham boss Moyes brings his team to Spurs on Thursday night with a warning that their hosts are “as good as any side” in England.

And he believes the manner in which Postecoglou has galvanised Tottenham is not the shock perceived by many. “I’m a bit surprised that everybody else was surprised after how well he did at Celtic,” Moyes said. “For anyone who follows it, to manage Celtic Football Club is enormous, the pressure and what comes with the job.

Ange was able to cope and deal with it. "A terrible situation" - Kurt Zouma update as West Ham offer reward following burglary Amazon deals: How you can watch Premier League matches for free this December “I met Ange in Australia when I was manager of Manchester United , played against them and kept my eye on him.

I wouldn’t say I have got to know him but the success he had at Celtic was terrific, and the way he made them play, and he is doing a really good job at Tottenham.” West Ham have enjoyed plenty of counterattacking success this season, which should mean opportunities to get behind Spurs’ high defensive line.

Yet Moyes believes there is so much quality in Postecoglou’s team, despite their continuing injury woes, that nullifying their multiple threats is first priority.

He added: “We’re fully aware of that but they are very aggressive in their press, play high up with lots of speed. There are a lot of things in the game we’ll have to cope with. ” West Ham remain without striker Michail Antonio owing to a knee ligament injury sustained while on Jamaica duty last month, although he is making progress on the training ground.

Aussie tennis greats make a SHOCKING prediction for Nick Kyrgios's future as star tries to battle back from injury Wayne Arthurs predicts Kyrgios will be back for Wimbledon Peter McNamee agrees that he wont be at his best until mid 2024 Star seems unlikely to be ready in time for the Australian Open By James Cooney For Daily Mail Australia Published: 20:55 EST, 6 December 2023 | Updated: 20:55 EST, 6 December 2023 e-mail View comments Nick Kyrgios is racing the clock to be ready for the first grand slam of 2024 at Melbourne Park - and several Aussie tennis greats predict that the firebrand won't be back until Wimbledon next year.

Kyrgios, 28, has been out of action since withdrawing from the Melbourne event at the start of the year due to knee and wrist issues, with a return date unknown.

The Canberra-born star has played down expectations that he will be back on the court for the first major of 2024, saying last month that 'the stars would need to align' for him to return in time.

Davis Cup hero-turned-coach Wayne Arthurs says if Kyrgios applies himself there's a slam 'for the taking', but he can't realistically see him back before Wimbledon.

'We all know he is a talent,' Arthurs told The Age . 'He's smart enough to know [Novak] Djokovic is at the end of his career, so there's a slam there for the taking. Major doubt lingers over the enigmatic entertainer's tennis comeback Kyrgios (pictured with girlfriend Costeen Hatzi) played down expectations that he will be back on the court for the first major of 2024 'By all reports, he was training pretty bloody hard mid-year before he went to Wimbledon and got injured again.

'But is a 20 per cent Kyrgios going to rock up to the Aussie Open? I don't think he will play.

But by the middle of next year, at Wimbledon, it might be time.' Former tennis world doubles champion Peter McNamee agrees with Arthurs that Wimbledon is when fans will likely see Kyrgios again at his best.

'I don't know if he's going to make it for the Aussie Open or not, I don't have the insight, but he won't be at his best,' he said. 'He's pretty good fresh, though, and he's a scary draw [for rivals].' In an interview with English broadcaster Piers Morgan last week, the 28-year-old gave no indication he would be ready to return to the court anytime soon.

Australian Open boss Craig Tiley said he expected Kyrgios to feature 'in some form' at next month's tournament. Wayne Arthurs believes Kyrgios will be back competing at Wimbledon next year Peter McNamee also suggested Kyrgios will be back at his best by mid-2024 'The update is day-by-day with him,' Tennis Australia boss Craig Tiley said on Monday of Kyrgios's availability.

'He'll be best to assess that ... we're going to have Nick here in some form or another in January.

'Hopefully it is to play because he's a crowd-pleaser. We love watching Nick and love having him around.'

Around 2,000 fans were quizzed and it found The Hatters taking up 12 per cent of the votes, being followed closely by Liverpool and Manchester United.

Famous Luton fans include Welsh singer Cerys Matthews and ITV presenter Nick Owen. Brentford, Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Wolves, Chelsea and Everton supporters all managed to scrape into the top ten most sexy clubs.

According to The Sun’s poll, along with Sheffield fans, those supporting Aston Villa, Newcastle United and West Ham United were the least sexy. Tottenham Hotspur fans, along with those Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Fulham and Brighton supporters sat in the bottom half.

Luton Town fans have been voted the sexiest in the Premier League according to a new poll The sexiest football fans in the Premier League: Luton Town – 12 per cent Liverpool – 10 per cent Man United – 9 per cent Man City – 8 per cent Brentford – 7 per cent Crystal Palace – 7 per cent Arsenal – 6 per cent Wolves – 6 per cent Chelsea – 5 per cent Everton – 5 per cent Tottenham Hotspur – 4 per cent Nottingham Forest – 3 per cent Bournemouth- 3 per cent Fulham- 3 per cent Brighton – 3 per cent Burnley – 2 per cent West Ham United – 2 per cent Newcastle United – 2 per cent Aston Villa – 2 per cent Sheffield United – 1 per cent Share or comment on this article: Revealed: Luton Town fans are voted the sexiest in the Premier League – how does YOUR local club rank in attractiveness?

NOTTINGHAM FOREST owner Evangelos Marinakis is believed to have thrown his ticket into a bush after watching his side get thrashed 5-0. Fulham hammered the East Midlands outfit at Craven Cottage as the club’s poor run of form continues. A fan found what appeared to be Evangelos Marinakis’ match pass Credit: X The Nottingham Forest owner was seen leaving Craven Cottage before full time Credit: Alamy Nottingham Forest have won just one of their last 11 games, seeing them slip down the Premier League table to 16th.

The worst defeat of the lost came at the hands of the Cottagers as Marco Silva’s side ran riot.

Raul Jimenez and Alex Iwobi both bagged braces and Tom Cairney finished off the scoring to wrap up the result. But it appears that Marinakis did not hang around to see the end of the game. Having seen enough, the Greek owner was seen leaving his seat before the full-time whistle.

To add to the story, a fan has claimed to have found Marinakis’ pass after leaving the game. They said that it had been “thrown into a bush in someone’s garden”. Some fans could not help but comment on social media.

One joked: “Not been a good month for him, Olympiacos got stuffed in the Europa 5-0 by Freiburg last Thurs!” A second wrote: “That’s quite funny to be honest!” A third posted: “Absolute collector’s item that one.” A fourth said: “Don’t blame him.” A fifth added: “Yikes.

Hairdryer treatment incoming.” It has not been a good time for Marinakis recently in football. While Forest have not pulled up many trees, his Greek side Olympiacos also suffered humiliation in the Europa League as they were beaten 5-0 by Freiburg. Pressure is mounting on manager Steve Cooper, with the club spending heavily since promotion to the Premier League in 2022.

However, fans are still behind the boss as they continued to chant his name while the team was losing. Cooper said: “I’m grateful for the support but I’m really embarrassed by it as well.

“I didn’t deserve that and the fans deserve better than what they got tonight.” Steve Cooper still has the support from the fans Credit: Getty Publisher

The rocket from the boss powered their second half against St Johnstone was still having an effect three days on. Oh was at the double, Matt O'Riley went clear as the Premiership top scorer and Luis Palma ditched the silly stuff from the penalty spot.

Christian Doidge pulled one back but this was Celtic 's night and the visitors couldn't cope from first whistle to last. Freezing fans were having to make their own noise with the Green Brigade's ongoing absence leaving chittering punters in the stands creating a ding akin to venue half the size of Parkhead.

But bright play from their heroes soon had the regulars on their feet as the South Korean striker and Carter Vickers wheeled away in duelling directions staking their claim for the opener.

But it was awarded to Oh and rightly so. Oh cheered on by Kyogo Read More Related Articles Scott Brown enters next Sunderland manager contention as Celtic legend set to joust with Beale in Black Cats boss battle Read More Related Articles Hearts vs Rangers – LIVE reaction Hibs – boasting only one defeat under the stewardship of Nick Montgomery – refused to retreat and the pace of Elie Youan was proving useful to get the men in purple up the pitch.

But Celtic appeared in the form which blew Aberdeen away for six with Luis Palma heavily involved during a dominant start.

Oh might not be the finished article, however, he certainly has been studying Kyogo's superior movement and his darting run made Alistair Johnston's mind up and the forward was cursing his luck as he landed on the ball rather than firing it into the net.

A Callum McGregor bullet was up next but David Marshall did well to turn it wide. Palma then bobbed and weaved for a half yard after Lewis Miller stood on the ball inside his own box but the bedraggled visitors escaped again.

But their fortunate run ended in the 35th minute as Palma turned Miller inside out and dinked up a perfect cross for the on-rushing O'Riley to run onto and nod home for his eighth Premiership goal of the season. Youan's searing pace appeared the only thing Hibs could rely on and he left Scales in his dust but his effort was straight at Hart.

At the other end, Carter Vickers' ingenuity almost saw him squeeze a flick under Marshall but it was scrambled clear just before the break before Scales was caught ball watching and Tavares went close.

Celtic vs Hibs - In Pictures View gallery Carter-Vickers departed at the break but the intent remained for Celtic and they were 3-0 to the good when a foul on Johnston from Lewis Stevenson was spotted by VAR and John Beaton awarded the spot kick. Palma finished with aplomb and it was 4-0 when Oh capitalised on McGregor's searching ball and he punished Will Fish for a limp attempt to stop the forward.

Doidge reduced the arrears and that goal followed a sloppy spell with Nat Phillips struggling with the pace of the game after coming for on for Carter-Vickers with his passing causing alarm among the natives.

Palma had a pop from a free-kick but it was well saved by Marshall. Kyogo caused danger off the bench but he was unable to end his barren run and Tomoki Iwata hit the side netting in the final seconds.

The champions were on form and now equal Martin O'Neill's legendary team on 53 home league games unbeaten. Here's 3 things we spotted from Celtic Park. Palm of his hand The Honduran isn't going to win any bleep tests but his knack of producing tantalising balls into the box is proving invaluable.

And the winger can do it all ways with his desire to change the angle leaving full-backs flummoxed. Miller will need a lie down after being tasked with keeping Palma at bay. And his penalty was one of confidence 10 days after missing against Motherwell.

Even when his luck was out Celtic's was in as the ball for the Oh's second was meant for him but it ended up in the path of the South Korean. Knock for Nick The two defeats of the Montgomery era prior to this beating were both sore ones. Kamikaze defending did for them at Ibrox and they then contrived to lose the Viaplay Cup semi final to 10-men Aberdeen.

And there wasn't much to savour here as it started badly and didn't get much better. The plan was clear but they couldn't weather the storm before launching their counter attack.

But the straight-talking former Sheffield United man will be proud with his side's character to finish with a flourish. Iwata plays it safe and fans love it On a night of dominance the quiet work of Iwata made plenty of noise. McGregor has been in the incumbent in the deepest midfield role – a six as the kids call it – but the reigning J-League player of the year looked calm and composed as he was quick of mind and body in the pivot.

His passing was sharp and tackling firm. There was loads to like from Iwata and this could be the start of an extended run in the first team as he earned hugs from his pals after passing up a late chance.

Speaking ahead of the Chelsea game, the French defender slammed players for “giving up” at St James’ and singled out Rashford. “Old Trafford has lost the fear factor,” he said on Amazon Prime. “I was quite pleased with the performance in the [against Galatasaray], but against Newcastle it was unprofessional, players didn't want to be on the pitch.

“Rashford – I remember Giggsy [Ryan Giggs] at 39 he wouldn't give up like that. There's something wrong. I don't know if it's about the communication. Every successful team, they run, that's the basics.

That's what they're not doing right now.” Reports of division in the camp and that at least half the squad had lost faith in Ten Hag’s methods led to several media outlets, being banned from press conferences.

Good stop to deny McAtee and one good claim in the air first half. Didn’t have much to do after the break. Began to find his passing range and whipped in fine corner for the opener. By some distance Liverpool’s most creative force. Not always convincing on or off the ball but won succession of aerial challenges.

Booked after making mistake second half. Superb defending stopped one Archer raid and emphatic first-time finish for the first goal. Marshalled the backline with a real captain’s showing. Bailed out by Kelleher after bad mistake early on but offered himself regularly going forward.

Impressive at left-back when settling second half. Mixed bag first half of good forward play on the turn but occasionally hounded out of possession. Did very well second half after picking up booking before break. Much better than of late and worked hard to win back possession and, after reasonable first half, really shone after break and capped the victory with injury-time strike.

Needed lengthy treatment after being on receiving end of nasty one early on by Souza and very quiet after that. Caught again second half and eventually subbed.

Subdued first half for the Egyptian who wasn’t quite able to cut loose, but later denied goal by superb Foderingham stop. Subbed. Another to be on the periphery of the game before break despite putting in plenty of hard yards. Subbed.

Once again started strongly and caused problems, but became less influential as game progressed. Subbed. Kept things simple in the engine room on his introduction. Used the ball well in another impressive cameo. Should have made game safe when played clean through by Alexander-Arnold but atoned by setting up second.

Booked. Helped see the game out.
