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.

    We won the war but lost the battle… Also this is sure to get sued and challenged as it’s a direct discrimination based on sex and title IX prohibits that shit

      The State Constitution also prohibits this. It will hopefully never take effect because a state court must shut this down.

      It wouldn’t be the first right-wing ballot initiative to go directly into the trash in this state.
