Who gives a shit about what is happening in non-professional sports anyways? It’s kids having fun. Puppies chasing a ball. It is the least important thing on the planet.
Republicans want trans people banned from playing in sports, this includes school sports. It was a major focus for their election marketing. Republicans used the example of Trans people playing in sports at the highest level. In these debates left winger pundits failed to present convincing arguments compared to the right wing pundits because the focus was on top 0.00001% of athletes where biological differences could be seen as unfair.
Because of this, the majority of Americans (66% of adults) now believe trans people should not play in gendered sports.
I am suggesting that instead of running from the discussion, we can respond and present a convincing argument on why trans people SHOULD be allowed to play in gendered sports.
My suggestion for a more convincing argument is that we focus on school sports because they precisely “kids having fun” and no reasonable person would fight to remove a 12 year old from playing with her friends on the netball team. Except this is exactly what is happening in some places and at threat of happening nationwide.
