Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
This shouldn’t be a political issue, like bathrooms.
These are private organizations and they should be able to make their own rules for their own competitions. Weight, sex, capability or lack thereof, steroids yes or no, and so on
Should there be government funding for sports programs in schools? No. So, again, not an issue. Most students aren’t in sports teams. Let the parents and teachers dictate their own sports programs and finance them (or charity, or their town even, just not feds)
It’s a non-government issue really, like abortion, it’s making something political where there should be no politics. Seriously, as is this will be one lawsuit after another for centuries, enough
