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 honestly dont know, but when I was in school boys got physicals to play sports. It was half the reason I didnt want to play school related sports. Did girls not have to do a similar thing? I’m not really sure why sports medicine has always felt sort of fucked up.

      Girls already have to get physicals like guys do, the specifics can vary from state to state.

      My understanding is the bill in Washington state that passed requires an additional/seperate process that ALL GIRLS must complete before participating.
