I-638 only applies to transgender girls and not transgender boys, and requires all students on K-12 girls sports teams to provide medical documentation that confirms their “biological sex,” according to the initiative’s language.

If the initiative passes, it could throw the blue state’s status as a haven for transgender people into question. If the final vote count indicates the initiative has passed, it will also likely face a legal challenge if approved by voters, several legal experts told The Times.

It should be challenged and I hope it is. Targeting only girls with this initiative shouldn't pass muster.

I'm deeply disappointed in my fellow Washingtonians.

Reminder that gay marriage failed in California back in '08.

People will come around, but it takes time to overcome ignorance at this scale.

For now, it's on all of us to do what we can to support the community and highlight how these injustices impact real people - hate thrives on ignorance.

The fact that this passed by so much has me extremely concerned for my future here. I feel sick.

This is an unfortunate setback.

Here in California, I'm pleasantly surprised at one thing. I really thought we were set to pass a draconian voter ID law. It appears to be going down like Lauren Boobert in an NBA locker room.

Wow, thats stupid. I wonder what other stupidity got approved.

We need to finish the civil war.

I hope we're still allowed to change a baby in the restroom of the the parent's choosing regardless of the baby's gender.

Also if transgender people aren't allowed in the girl's restroom or the boy's restroom, maybe they get a new LGBTQ restroom where they can poop in pace while the world grows up and learns that unisex restrooms are a thing on many other countries including mexico.

Like, the need to poop in pace is way more important than filtering what gender goes where.
