As children across the U.S. head back to classes and practices for fall sports, four more states are expecting their K-12 schools to keep transgender girls off their girls teams.
Kansas, North Dakota and Wyoming had new laws in place restricting transgender athletes before classes resumed, and a Missouri law takes effect at the end of this month, bringing the number of states with restrictions to 23.
As a trans person, sports are inherently unequal, unfair and some people do have biological advantages. If Micheal Phelps can use his freak lungs and webbed feet in the fucking OLYMPICS why can’t a young trans girl compete at a goddamn h.s meet? People only seem to care when it’s a trans person, but rules can impact cis people as well. Plenty of born cis women have excess testosterone and have even been banned from sporting events in the past, ntm the right’s best answer to this perceived problem? introducing genital inspections. Let’s get real, sports are just fucking games. They shouldn’t be taken any more seriously.

Exactly. This whole gd screaming match over what constitutes being a woman has zero basis in science.
If the transphobes would just sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up, that’d be good.
