Why WA voters rebuffed Dems on I-638, even in blue wave election
www.seattletimes.com
As a blue wave washed across the U.S., Washington voters passed an initiative that the state’s Democratic Party opposed. There are multiple ways to understand why.

Opponents say [Washington state] voters were persuaded at least partly because the initiative and its boosters exploited deep-seated prejudices and misunderstandings about transgender people to erode their rights.

    I had to go back to the article to see what you are on about. Of course its being done by medical providers. I didnt leave that out on purpose, I’ll concede that some people might find that relevant, and it wasnt my intention to “hide” it.

    I did in fact play sports as a kid. I was assigned female at birth and never had genital inspections. The only time a doctor got anywhere near my vagina was when i was old enough to start seeing a gyno a and get a pap smear when i was in college.
