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.

So your best possible argument is “the evidence is inconclusive.”
THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE WE PERSECUTING A MINORITY GROUP WHEN THE BEST EVIDENCE YOU CAN HAVE IS “MAYBE THERE’S A TINY DIFFERENCE, IDK?”
Seriously. Listen to yourself. We’re talking about the civil rights of real human beings. That is NOT the kind of thing you fuck with unless you have an extremely serious reason to do so. Like, if after we let trans women play sports, suddenly we were dominating competitions left and right, obviously outperforming cis women in an unfair way.
The best shit you got is, “well, the evidence is inconclusive.”
It’s called innocent til proven fucking guilty. You don’t persecute people on a whim or a hunch.
My personal opinion on the subject is that the inherent lean mass increase and musculo-skeletal differences which affect how the muscle connects to the bone and is structured. Differences that persist despite puberty blockers. Those specific differences are still being studied but it is my FIRM opinion based on differences between men and women in strength that are very much apparent, this is an unfair advantage period, and I cannot and will not support trans athletes, period.
Trans women aren’t men. You just moronically try to map the performance of cis men onto trans women, blindly assuming they’re the same.
And “your personal opinion” is just “my bullshit bigotry.”
Common sense and gut feelings are what built Jim Crow.
Yeah I’m not going to be bullied or insulted into believing anything different. Nor am I going to be compared to Jim Crow era laws. The percentage of trans athletes is so small I’m very comfortable excluding them because I believe strongly the science supports the FACT that they have an inherent advantage, not to mention the increased ability to cheat among trans males.
Oh wait. You are just a bigot, going off your moderation history. I’m perfectly fine bullying you. You’re below contempt.
Guess I should just vote Republican then and embrace it, thanks for convincing me of that!
