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.
