[Point Blank]

I know MAGA doesn’t care about facts but I’ll bite.

Too often like everything else MAGA, the argument is a complete oversimplification. Such as trans women = men. It’s a sign of people who rely on single sound bites that outrage over actually listening to the other side and trying to educate themselves.

When we talk about trans women in sports, we aren’t talking about a man cross dressing to compete with women.

We are talking about individuals who have undergone hormone replacement therapy, which has significant biological implications.

Currently, there isn’t enough evidence to support one way or the other that trans women outcompete non-trans women in sports. To truly know, we must have a massive sample size controlled for multiple sports over multiple years.

If they do, sure we should discuss policy. But the fact that there’s not enough evidence + trans women making up a minuscule fraction of athletes, and the complete disproportionate outrage MAGA has shown, so much as wasting tax dollars to assemble a committee of people who have zero credibility in understanding the science behind hormone replacement therapy (personal experience yes, as one of the members is Triple H, who literally used synthetic hormones that actually affects athletic performance), shows that the crux of the issue isn’t about women’s sports.

Just say you hate trans people because you’re afraid of people different from you. At least then you’re not insulting our intelligence with the obvious transphobia under the guise of protecting women’s sports.

I don’t claim to know one way or the other but at least I’m not trying to use it as an excuse to harm people who literally have nothing to do with my wellbeing.
