Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying "biological males" should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

"Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males," Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent "transgender women" or "biological men" from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

"A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear ... what reach federal legislation would have to change them," Poilievre said.

"But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males," he added.

Personally I think any sport which has rankings / championships should be separated by biological sex rather than gender.

Allow anyone to join "XY" teams but only allow female-at-birth to join "XX" teams. Unless it's a just-for-fun league then anyone can join.

It does get complicated though with intersex and whatnot, but unfortunately life isn't fair and some people draw the short straw. They can join the "XY" leagues if they are good enough.

Why are we still talking about this? Who cares? Let people use whatever washrooms they want, is it even an issue? it's completely fabricated by the right at this point and im tired of it.
