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.
Going down that route we have to face the fact in just about every sport segmented between the sexes it all comes down to peoples individual genetic advantages which would end up doing exactly what you want to happen to trans athletes but on much much larger scale as we’d have to ban anyone that’s over a certain threshold in their relative sport.
Too tall, can’t play basketball/volleyball/football. Etc etc.
There are differences between sporadic genetic advantages and distinct highly consistent physical advantages between the sexes. We already separate sports by sex for a reason. If you are against separating male and female athletes however, I guess we could look at things as you’re trying to frame them. We would just get rid of women’s leagues entirely and let women have the same shot as their male counterparts to find entry into sports. I have a feeling women would not be happy about this though.
Yes but you are arguing with the fact individuals have genetic advantages, therefore if it’s bad in one way you have to remove all of the ones with advantages.
If your only argument for banning specific people is they grew up in a way that gave them an advantage you must remove anyone that could have it. Basically means removing the Olympics as it’s entirely comprised of those with genetic advantages.
No. I’m really not. I’m just saying that a sex with clear and sharp advantages over another one should probably not be allowed to compete against the other.
It’s literally what you’re saying just with sex as the arbitrary boundary.
if there’s advantages that should not be allowed
I’m sorry if you disagree here, but I do not believe sex is an arbitrary boundary. If it were we wouldn’t have any women’s leagues because there would be no need for them.

^ the source you cited is the one saying that. I’m simply pointing out if we remove all advantages like you want it means alot needs to change. None of which is related to trans athletes having an advantage
Point out where in the source I supplied it says that, please.
Which of the many parts?
