Can someone explain to me how my state got everything else right for the most part but went stupid for this one?

Literally, let’s inspect little girls privates, but not boys, because 10 trans students exist and MIGHT want to play sports with their friends? Jesus.

It was also kind of disgusting that literally all our state initiatives were funded by a 1%-er, Brian Heywood and his Let’s Go Washingtion PAC.

    trans women have a biological advantage over people who were born women. More muscle, faster reaction time, etc.

    Do you believe that an AFAB girl/woman who is able to easily defeat male opponents should be banned from participating in women’s sports?

    If you are going to argue in favor of banning trans women from participating in women’s sports, you might take that argument to it’s logical conclusion and filter out for all biological inequities. Born too tall? Banned from basketball, because the average person is not as tall as you and it wouldn’t be fair to the majority of average height players. Born with webbed fingers and toes? Banned from swimming, because other people don’t have that biological advantage and it wouldn’t be fair.

    You see how drawing the line arbitrarily at gender identity/biological sex is absurd?

      I hope I do but too many that are happy transphobes when it comes only to women’s sports don’t every acknowledge it. Hell even in this thread there’s someone happy to say it’s only a factor in women’s sports. Others say it’s fine because they hadn’t seen men complaining like the women…
