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. 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.
