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.

Edit: couple transphobes showing their colors here. Not only do they have a bad understanding of how hormones affect the body, degrading muscle mass and bone density in trans women for example, it also is just a dog whistle and avoids the real issue.

Segregating trans folk from sports is just another way to demoralize and dehumanize a small subset of the population. "If you're not trans, you can play sports with your friends. You're not really a girl/boy anyway." It's disgusting. Do we need trans drinking fountains too? It's attempting to instill these thoughts into children. In children's sports. Which are just kids playing together and enjoying their lives. It SHOULD NOT MATTER if a boy plays soccer with a girl or a girl plays football with a boy. Let kids be fucking kids. Ask kids after they play with each other if one of them should be excluded. The kids understand it better than the adults pushing narratives who often don't even have children. The kids just want to play together and do a better job of being accepting in group play than these conservative, lonely incels.

ok, so like the other person i responded to, you also believe we should scrap womens leagues? let them play against men?

Women's sports leagues exist to serve a social function, not a biological one. Plenty of women can kick a man's ass. Asserting that women are just weak, frail, and need protection from big strong men, sucks and is wrong.

You seem like a gem btw.

We're strangers on the internet. You don't know me, and I don't know you. But i have to hear transphobic garbage on a regular basis, and I have no interest in being cordial when confronted with transphobia.

    simple questions then... world record women's and mens: 100m dash, high jump, marathon, pole vault, shot put, and bench press... let me know if any women beat men in any of these records.

    Or don't and you can just go away because I'm tired of you.

    Arguing with bad faith transphobes isn't exactly very pleasant either. Get off of Lemmy.
