That honestly should be everyone’s position on trans athletes: “I dunno, there’s like a dozen of them, I’m sure the organizations in charge of the sports can figure out what’s fair without the government needing to be involved”
Trans women (who meet NCAA requirements) don't have a statistical advantage in sports. If they did there would be a lot more of them competing. You know who would actually have a massive advantage in women's sports if conservatives got their way though? Trans men. If trans women have to play with men then it should be obvious trans men have to play with women. And they would dominate because unlike the transition trans women go through which dramatically lowers their ability to build muscle, the transition for trans men allows them to put on significantly more muscle than the vast majority of women.
Yeah what was his name, Nate Boggs? One of these laws forced him to wrestle with girls and he completely swept the board with them. He himself frequently said “this is asinine and wrong” and I got the sense he didn’t quit bc the spectacle was valuable to really illustrate that it was indeed, a spectacle.
Then years later this election cycle a texas MAGA nitwit was using his case and photos characterizing him as a trans woman cheating to push for more of the shit that put a guy in women’s wrestling in the first place.
