Now this is the FCB Podcast Network. This is pillow Talk with Ellie Michelle on the FCB Podcast Network. Welcome back to an episode of pillow Talk with Ellie Michelle. I am your host, Alie Michelle. I have a topic today that I just cannot get past. I need to talk about it. I need to go into depth. I need to explain the importance of it. So with that, let's dive right in. So as y'all are aware that this whole like, let's let transgenders compete in women's sports. Let's do this, except you're feeling to realize that it took us hundreds of years to get to where we are today, and now we are continuing. The left, the liberal, the crazy, the crazy easy extremists are trying to make it so a white male, you know, the ones that they hate so much to have rights in women's sports. Do you understand that logic? Because I share the heck don't. I'm going to give you a little history lesson, so you know when our grandparents, our grandmothers, our great grandmothers, our aunts are everybody. The women suffrage movement, you know that happened in the late nineteenth and twentieth century resulted in the passage of the nineteenth in nineteen twenty, the right to vote, okay, the emphasis on women's freedoms okay, the first feminist movement in the modest games for women in sports and to compete. But these gains were ignored because the Depression hit in nineteen thirties and they would remain dormant four fifty years, y'all fifty years, and we continue to fight for it. We continue to fight for our rights. We continued and continued and continued. Ultimately it got granted. So now we're going to continue. We're gonna we're gonna go fall back. We're falling back in history. We're not stepping forward, we're moving backwards. Your logic is skewed, the left, the liberal, these weird extremists. Um ideologies are skewed. And then came the depression. You know, that left millions of Americans out of work, okay, And then that was resulting in women having to stay home, to stay out of the workforce because there wasn't much work. Okay, So then we became homemakers, which in my opinion, it's not a bad thing. I think women should be homeworkers and that's just my opinion. However, the movement continued because they were trying to establish that there were psychological benefits to be gained from involvement in sports. Okay, so they fought for this, Okay, they evolved. They fought for this um until actually sense of orties, until the eighties, and it was called Lucas and Smith. Women were trying to say, you know, if we can, if we can work in the workforce, we can compete in sports, we should be able to do that. In which that's when they continue to fight for that issue. With that, you know, came confidence self esteem, which ultimately led into the women's equal rights movement. If they're logic, our logic, our grandparents logic, our grandmother's, our great grandmother's logic was Okay, if I can, if I can be a bad a at work, I can be a bad a on the field, on the court, you know, in the rink, anywhere, anywhere, and no man can tell me no, no, white I should not have to compete with a man's opinion to play a sport that I am good at and that I like. Do you see where I'm getting yet? I will let y'all think on that during my break. I will see you soon. These days, it seems like everybody's talking, but no one is actually listening to the things they're saying. Critical thinking isn't dead, but it's definitely low on oxygen.

This is your host, Alia Michelle. You are listening to Pillow Talk with Alia Michelle on FCV Radio, and we are continuing to talk about the civil rights movement, the women's sports movement, and everything in between, which leads me into nineteen forty three where the All American girls baseball glee started. But you know, since the war, they said, you know, we can't do this, We're not going to do this, which ultimately ended that for women. How However, soon after the war ended, that's when women were like, Okay, we're done, We're doing this. So in the nineteen fifties and sixties, the social conscious of America was changing. A lot. More people were getting on the board for the push of civil rights, which accumulated in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four, okay, which helped increase the status of women and my minorities. And this is when the activism started to take off. And this is what we were fighting for. This is what our grandparents were fighting for then, so we could have it. Now, you guys are just it's being ridiculous, completely ridiculous. This oh equality, okay, But our grandmothers and our great grandmothers were fighting, even our mothers at this point, we're fighting for the right of equal competition. They wanted to compete with other women, not go against a man. I mean so, I'm sure maybe, but ultimately women were told no for hundreds of years, hundreds of this is this isn't just oh oh they said no, yes, no. They fought for hundreds of years and we're told no, multiple hundreds of thousands of times. No, we're not gonna do this. No, you're not gonna do this. No you deserved it, no you no, no, no, no no, and then you're gonna turn around and spit in the faces of our of our of our mothers and grandmothers aunts everything. You're gonna turn around and spit on it you are allowing. Do you understand this? You the white liberals are the ones who are at fault for this. The extreme people that are like, oh oh, why don't you see a woman competing in a man's sport, a transgender um woman who went into a man into a man's sport. I have yet to see one. Please correct me if I'm wrong. And then along came Title nine after I believe it was, Oh, I believe it has been. It was twenty thirty years. I don't know, but Title nine, Title nine arose. It was the concept that federal legislation has to eliminate sexual discrimination and was the main focus of women's groups in the late nineteen sixties and early nineteen seventies. At their first national conference in nineteen sixty seven, the National Organized Organization for Women the nw adopted the platform that read, quote, the right of women to be educated to their full potential equally with men by secured or be secured by the federal and state legislation. This is a sports Journal dot Com that said that, and then Bowls eight nineteen eighty nine, page six hundred and forty three. The Title nine of the Education Amendments of nineteen seventy two was paid little attention in the early legislation efforts to quotify these rights. So again they were being told no, They're being ignored. They were being told no, but they were being ignored, so it was being put on the back burner. Courts ordered busing and other titles in the obvious Education Amendments took the spotlight, Pale and pressed in nineteen seventy eight. It was only after Title nine was passed when the question surrounding implantation arose that opposition Entitled nine took place gelb and Pali. Nineteen eighty seven. After the passages of Titled nine, Congress built in a six year period for secondary and post secondary schools to achieve compliance. The day of a compliance by the colleges and universities was nineteen seventy eight. Interpretation of the enforcement were visited or were vested by the Department of Health and Education and Welfare Carpenter in nineteen ninety three. Even still, even still, women had to fight very hard for it, which the sports journal dot org explains that more than sixty women in feminist groups formed a correlation in nineteen twenty four called the Education Tax Force task Force, which would later become the National Correlation for Women and Girls in Education. But then the NCAAA became concerned by what it perceived to be a potential weakening of its position as a dominant, controlling body of athletes. And if Title nine was to apply college sports at the levels of women were being elevated to the status of equal to men, its financial assets and political power were threatened. Okay, despite all these hiccups and all of these hurdles, women still fought. We still fought for the right to have our own division, our own separate sports, because we can. We we're human, We're protected under the civil rights we can. We are human. We deserve every opportunity. The Constitution stays equal opportunity for all. Okay, And it says the last paragraph of the sports journal dot org, it can be seen that women's involvement in sports was a slow develop or slow to develop. I'm sorry. Opportunities for participation and recognition were almost non existent four centuries. Do you hear that centuries, not days, not reached up minds, not even years, centuries, centuries. It was not until that of the equal Rights movement and a Title nine that women truly found a place as participants in the world of sports and in the public arena. You all are literally spitting in the faces of these people, of these women that fought, all these women that did not give up. Do you see that? Do you comprehend that? Because quite frankly, I'm highly concerned for your level of intelligence right now, and I'm being extremely brutally honest. Now, I don't know if this is just a joke or if it's is a game that people want to try and play to have control. I don't know. However, you are spitting on centuries of work, centuries of work of women's rights, and you are letting white men take over yall's place. Now. I don't care if there's a separate division, if if if there wants to be a transgender division, and if if you know, if people want to compete in that, so freaking be it. But the ones that have that have trained their whole lives for moments to become um an Olympic athlete, and you're gonna allow a man who has that biological makeup to be extremely stronger than them. The build is different, the muscle makeup is different. It is in the DNA, it's in the bones, it is in the muscle masses, and it's it's embedded in men. I am not a transphobic, and I don't care if I'd be caught if I'm called that another time, I do not care. I am not transphobic. I am not anti trans. I am not anti trans. I am pro woman. I am pro biological women. I am pro women's rights that our mothers and grandmothers and great grandmothers have fought so gosh dang hard for. And you are going to allow these people to walk all over you. I'm mad. If you can't tell by the sound of my voice, I am angry. I competed in sports in middle school and a little bit of high school. I couldn't even imagine running a track field, running a track, or playing volleyball with a man who can spike, who's towering over me a young man and spike that ball in my face, or run that track, run that track so much more faster than I. You are hurting our daughters, our future granddaughters are future great granddaughters. By allowing this to happen, open a separate division or something, or or or sign a consent form. Hey, this sport will include you know, this sport is dedicated to the transgender community. Blah blah blah. If you want to compete, so be it something like that. I'm not a lawmaker, I'm not the piece of all. I don't I'm not saying that. However, I am standing firm on my belief that women our rights are slowly being stripped away, in our our rights to play, our rights for equality. Equality. You know that liberals want to scream equality for all, Well what about the women? What about us? What about our biological women? Okay? And that is all I have for you. Just I want you to think on that. I want you to really think on that. Just think about centuries of work, centuries of women, blood, sweat and tears, endless nose, endless shutdowns, endless back burners. Think about that. Think about that the next time, and think the next time you want to scream about a white man entering your life and your business or your body, think about what you're saying. Just think about it, and with that I'm going to let y'all go. Don't forget to subscribe to my podcast. If you haven't already, think y'all so much.
