I’m with the conservatives on this one. Not how they’re going about it, but the basic idea.
There’s a huge difference between sex and gender. Sports are based on the former, not the latter.
I don’t care what a person wears, or says, or what pronouns he or she uses. And it is incredibly important for people to figure it out for themselves. And we don’t need to be beating people up over it.
But women’s sports exist to give women an even playing field to sustain meaningful competition. A person born a man and who transitions her gender to being a woman still doesn’t meet that basic criterion. It’s unfair where fairness is a fundamental principle.
That said, we as a society can work this out without all the anger, public arguments, and hating on trans persons. We can rise above it, if we chose to do so.
