      Leagues already had rules on their own without the government getting involved. Now instead it’s outright bans being enforced by the state. The largest and loudest voices pushing for the government to do this have openly said they are doing this to attack trans rights in other areas. It’s not about sports

        Bans that the only real way to enforce is subjecting children to genital inspections by the way. A lot of these bans as well from what I’ve seen take the form of “Allow parents to accuse kid of being trans,” usually in the form of “She doesn’t look girly enough,” to which the accused now basically has to prove they’re not trans. Which as stated generally has to be let an approved doctor poke at your bits until he’s satisfied you were born with the “correct” ones.

          That’s a very good point, saved. trans haters are crap, and will seek any excuse.

            Seriously, a few years ago the US national team, which had won the world cup pretty recently, had to practice on astroturf. The men’s national team, who were kind of a laughingstock, got real grass.

            White cis femininity only matters to power when it can be used as a weapon against the marginalized.
