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.

We have weight classes for certain sports. Why not do that with everything?
There’s differences between lots of people. I have two coworkers who are both cis men but one is 6.5ft and the other is 5.7ft with probably 200lbs difference between them…
Why single out trans people? Why not just, you know, be more fair period if that’s the actual goal.
And then we don’t have to deal with creepy ass “prove your sex to me” bullshit.
So tired of how dumb and incompetent everyone is anymore…
Bring back intramural sports. You know, for fun, not so you can maybe get a scholarship.
If private equity hadn’t weaseled its way into all levels of kid’s sports and turned it into a way to become a millionaire people would have less of a problem about it.
I doubt you’d have enough kids to play in many categories. To super tall kid or the hefty kid are just SOL because you’d need a full team for them, and none exist.
The reason it works in wrestling is because that’s two people, total. You just need to find two people, one from either side, and you’re good to go. And either side can agree to fight outside their weight class.
But you’re never going to manage to do that with a full basketball league for instance, it just isn’t going to happen.
If you put weight classes on everything and remove women’s sports, at the same weight men are generally far more capable due to sex based differences. Women won’t be winning much anymore
Patently untrue, look up why women were excluded from playing in sports and then made to only play in child sized ‘womens sports’ leagues.
Men cannot handle losing to a woman in a sport, they throw giant goddamn tantrums when it threatens this kind of worldview. ( I lost, to a girl??)
Women are segregated into women’s leagues for the same reason black men were put in their own leagues, to prevent identity risk. (I lost, to a epithet??)
