that banning transgender women and girls from competitive sports was "a question of fairness."
“For those who dream about a 2024 future, starting with Kristi Noem,” said Bill McCoshen, a Wisconsin-based Republican strategist, “you don’t want to be in a position to be against your own party, which all of those governors have done so far.”The crush of legislation advanced by Republicans in states throughout the country blocking transgender youths from joining sports teams that match their gender identity has been extraordinary.
The issue has made unlikely allies of some women's advocacy groups and social conservatives, who have jointly pushed states to adopt laws restricting participation to athletes assigned female at birth. Though advocates have denied accusations that the state bills are a coordinated effort, groups like the Alliance for Defending Freedom have circulated principles they believe lawmakers should adopt.
“They’ve had no compunction in putting trans youth and their well being front and center in order to try to score political points,” said Cathryn Oakley, state legislative director at the Human Rights Campaign. “When people understand what has happened, they are going to respond very negatively, and the folks who have thought that this was a winning political strategy are very quickly going to learn that they were wrong.
How many trans student athletes are trying to play high school sports? Ohio claims 9 in 5 years, Kansas, 5. TN, MS, MT, SC lawmakers cant prove they even have 1. Why does the GOP spend so much time on bogyman problems that don't exist. Fear is all they have to offer.
No sane person I know is for boys and men competing against girls and women. Even in skill sports like downhill skiing, women are consistently 10% slower. The more strength required, the more females are disadvantaged.
No one is being banned they're more than welcome to play sports with other biological males.
An almost paradigmatic expression of the American obsession with winning and competition over mutual care.
66 Bills for a non-issue with no examples where this is a legitimate concern. 100’s of examples of children dying in school shootings with ZERO bills to make schools safer. This isn’t a women’s rights issue. It’s Republican fear mongering to create division by design.
Conservatives: 'Keep the government out of our lives! So we can push into yours*!' * Especially if you're a woman.
GOP is obsessed with children’s genitalia as they keep showing over and over. It’s disgusting they want to constantly make laws that interfere with patient doctor decisions. They are the poster party for discrimination
Can anyone explain how fair and competitive the event would be if people born male competed against women?
Splintered on strategy yes, not on the stance. Your statement is misleading but expected.
