Under Florida's anti-discrimination laws, casinos are not allowed to ban men from competing in women's events,Why did the tournament organizers permit him to participate is the true mystery. Has he paid off the organizers?
Or is it a publicity stunt to get media attention for the organizers.
I don't know about Florida specifically, but I find it ironic that in the US, so many states have laws that prevent people using specific bathrooms, but anyone can enter a women's tournament. Seems a little like a double standard.Under Florida's anti-discrimination laws, casinos are not allowed to ban men from competing in women's events,
Um no, If it's listed as a women's event, you must be a women to play in it.Under Florida's anti-discrimination laws, casinos are not allowed to ban men from competing in women's events,
It's not right for men to dress up as women and play in a women's event's.. We on the right and center have been fighting for women to have the same rights as us guys, and have been pushing for women to have their own events.
Um no, If it's listed as a women's event, you must be a women to play in it.
If it was taken to court, it would be into the trash.
Seems like the people hosting the event should have been ontop of this. Where are the Men only tournaments though? In my view both men and women should just play the same pool since there is no competitive edge based on gender here. We are all equal.
Why not?The above is incorrect.
There was nothing the hosts could do about it.
What bothers me is that regardless of what peoples' political beliefs are, there are people who live their lives as trans and have beliefs about what their identity is regarding gender. That's just a fact. They're not faking, even if you personally disagree with how they categorize themselves. If someone like that wants to join a women's tournament, then I think there can be an honest discussion about the subject, and I'm sympathetic to both sides of the discussion.Professional poker player Charlie Carrel makes an interesting point
“It pokes fun at the idea that anybody can identify as a woman and be allowed to enter women’s spaces,” Carrel wrote. “It does suck that it comes at the expense of the women’s only space. I wouldn’t do it.”
He added, “It does speak loudly to the insanity that’s playing out on a larger scale.”

Someone pretending to be trans to make some smart-alecky point is a different situation, and I don't have any sympathy for their point. If they suffer social consequences for their behavior, also no sympathy from me. I'm okay with people having different beliefs, but don't be a jerk about it.
The women of said event could file a suit, since it was a ladies only event, and get their money back for it. It could hurt the poker room a lot more, and they would put an end to ladies events, and so could other poker rooms. More guys will end up playing in ladies events!The above is incorrect.

So CC would be violating the laws of every state, and other country's??? I as a gentlemen, find no need to take part in a ladies games, nor in the chat set up on here for ladies on here.. Tho I could give you 2 members, that would of done it at a drop of a hat.Because it would violate Florida law.
Most companies end up settling discrimination cases. Lady only events discriminates based on sex. Anti discrimination law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, and other protected characteristics.

Since it was listed as a ladies only event, there is no anti-discrimination on this since it was listed as a ladies event only. I watch a few in how the law is set up and done up, they would say the guy has no leg to stand on, with this one. Try finding one suit, vs a guys vs gals playing a game, any game to a guy filing a suit using anti-discrimination laws, and the guy winning it.

Every state has anti-discrimination laws on the books, so does this end ladies poker events, for every poker room and online sites??
So on that, should women's only sports come to an end???
I had all day to think about what you said, and knew how to post this reply.
Legally he did nothing wrong, therefore you can't enforce any penalty.Should be more suppervision to make sure your name is who you say you are. That person who won
that tourament should have his winnings returned and gave a penatily for his action.

Shaved his legs and then he was a she.guy is a tool
Yeah - Not gonna open that can of worms here. Sad that people are actively trying to ruin it for others though <3Because it would violate Florida law.
It's odd that I can only seem to find it out via work, and not games or sports that are set up for women! They need to fight back, and stop caving into the suits! I'm not into law, but I could make a very great point of why ladies events should only have ladies in them.Most companies end up settling discrimination cases.

Based on that, a ladies only game, to which ladies only want to play with ladies has very good standing at working out, in ladies filing a suit, and only need to say that a guy was harassing them in the event, and can be sued for it. Harassing could be anything from an odd look or saying anything.10. Can an employer require females to work with only female customers and males to work with only male customers?
Generally no. An employer may not rely on co-worker, customer, or client preference for a male or female. In some very limited circumstances, however, an employer may be able to select an individual for a job assignment based on sex. For example, an employer in the health care field may grant a patient's request for an attendant of the same sex to assist them with bathing, without violating the law.
I am not going to debate state laws with you - you have to figure it all out for yourself. The host of that event was bound by state law to allow him to enter the event. You can accept it or not. You are just being ridiculously silly about CC so ignoring that. If you (or any other guys) insist on playing in our Ladies events we will simply cancel them.
