    Good. There’s a reason that almost all sport is separated into men’s and woman’s leagues. Men have a massive physical advantage over women in a lot of sports and it is fundamentally unfair for women to have to compete with men.

    Some train their whole life only to have a major victory denied because a man decided to compete in a woman’s category.

    If they can’t/won’t compete with other men then trans people should have their own league.

      A big thing people complain about is this “issue” is a just a straw man constructed by typically conservative leaders. It says in the article that there are no known openly transgender people competing in collegiate athletics.

        Exactly, this is just a reason to oppress trans people and sow hate. It’s not an issue whatsoever

        Until there is and many non-trans women are hurt because of it. Being proactive is smart in this case… it’s happened elsewhere and thank god, Abbott spent 30m to get this bill prioritized. Simple legislation that got drawn up in a matter of days, swiftly voted on, then across his desk.

        This is nothing about hate, it’s about god damn common sense. Men are stronger, faster, and more agile than women… period. End of story.

        Would you rather there not be any separation? I’d be fine with that since Title 9 is a joke.
