It’s a dumb wedge issue that doesn’t matter. For student athletes, sports are about building cooperation and leadership skills and having fun, and for professional athletes, the issue is so relegated to a tiny amount of wealthy celebrity athletes that it’s completely divorced from the lives of everyday Americans. In both cases, there are non-government sports agencies who already make decisions, and I’m going to channel some old-school Republican energy to say the government shouldn’t be the ones making that choice. Unless it’s some ulterior motive to normalize thinking about trans women as men to push the overton window on other issues, I genuinely don’t understand why everyone cares so much.
I wish Democrats would just not talk about sports and instead redirect to equal employment and housing, while fighting attempts to ban HRT. I wish they would stop taking the bait.
