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.

    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!
