Arizona voters appear all but certain excluding trans students from girls sports teams and the school bathrooms and locker rooms that reflect their gender identity.
Dubbed the “Protect Girls Sports in Arizona Act,” Proposition 318 threatens schools and athletic associations with lawsuits if they allow trans girls to join the sports teams consistent with their gender identity or let someone use a locker room, shower facility or bathroom intended to be for a person of the opposite biological sex. It is already illegal under Arizona law to permit trans girls to play on school sports teams designated for girls, but the initiative would extend that prohibition to private athletic organizations, like Little League.
Votes for Prop. 318 raced to a likely insurmountable lead of more than 200,000 votes when initial election results were released shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday. Those votes came from early ballots that were returned prior to Election Day.
To be specific it was trans girls only.
They don’t care if trans boys are in male sports or mens restrooms.
They just want to know who is a trans girl to recruit to their new pedo ring.
Ah surely this will make things cheaper to live
Wherever they do this I kinda wish a group of masc trans men organize and go in various public women’s bathrooms together until everyone realizes how stupid this shit is.
I dont remember where it was but a group of trans men did that recently.
for context, here’s the story:

I looked it up and found it. It was Kansas! Very cool
Critics also argued that the initiative does the opposite of what it purports to do, by exposing cisgender girls to uncomfortable questions and discrimination based on what someone else perceives their gender identity to be.
“The negative impacts (this) would have, not only on trying to bully and shame transgender people of all ages back into closets, into the shadows, but also to enforce a stereotype of what girls are supposed to look and dress and act like,” Joel Edman, a spokesman for Progress Arizona said. “The real risk that this measure poses is having all girls potentially scrutinized for being too tall, or too strong, or too good at whatever sport they want to play with their friends.”
This is the intended outcome. This is bred from transphobia which is bred from misogyny. Two birds, one stone, happy bigots.
Yeah. The mean girls will subject poor strong thicc Phoebe to cruel accusations and gender checks.
We really need to get [GOP congress]men out of women’s sports.
And out of children’s underwear
So we still have a bunch of stupid people in Arizona. Good to know lol
Yes, my father-in-law is one of those people. Voted Democrat for all the candidates, but then voted yes to all the ballot measures because he’s an idiot.
Washington passed a similar referendum too, even blue states are falling for the transphobic agenda.
Ah yes the panty check for perverts rule. So gross
State initiatives are always a mixed bag that favors conservatives. Here in California, we turned down a billionaire tax (boo) but also turned down strict voter ID.
