Even the usual liberal bastions within the state didn't overwhelmingly oppose this, and some of the usual population centers were in favor. The less populous areas overwhelmingly were pro-genital exams.

My enby went to sleep knowing that a bunch of Democrats were winning. I'll have to warn them before they leave for school in the morning. This is just disappointing. Trans rights are human rights; how is this hard?

I will never understand thinking sports matter so much that you'll fuck with people's lives over them.

Is this just for women's sports? How can that be legal?

According to the site I just checked 40% of votes haven't been counted yet so maybe there's a chance it won't go through.

Though I do not have much faith in libs of any stripe to not betray any marginalized group.

No Statewide election in WA is callable yet. We vote by mail, and the more progressive areas around Seattle tend to mail their ballots late. Last Year Bruce Harrel had a commanding lead for Mayor of Seattle on the morning after the election deadline but after a week or so of counting Mayor Wilson won. This is likely to go the same way, although it's hard to say if it'll be enough at this point. Give it a week or so and then we'll know for sure.

I'm sure this won't lead to the sexual abuse of little girls.

Is this just anti-trans bigotry or anti-women? How many girls will not go into sports if they have to go through this type of abuse? There are many men who are very against the gains women have made in sports over the last couple decades and this would probably roll things back quite a bit.

That's gross. Absolutely gross. You are very disappointing, neighbor.

Go into your representatives office and demand them to take off their pants.

When is the referendum on legalizing all drugs?

This is extremely disheartening as a Washington resident.

Some perverts are thrilled by this. Kids are gonna get molested.

Simple. Lodge a complaint for every student taking in part in school activities claiming they're the opposite sex which would change it from just the girls to literally everyone and that will change things.

If they actually try inspecting then start lodging sexual assault claims and claim the inspector is the opposite sex and thus must be tested so we know the tester is testing the correct sex.

Essentially wrap them up in bureaucracy that drains funding. They'll cut that shit when they find out it's going to be several hundred thousand dollars to actually do and likely more like a half million per district to try to fight.

All that just to humiliate trans kids.

And it wasn't even a close vote. Jesus. So many people got got by the billion dollar hate propaganda and disinformation campaign. Every time this alters a child's lifepath, musk should get donkey kicked in the head by a horse wearing a red cardigan, slacks, blue boat shoes, and a Jerry Seinfeld mask.
