Opponents say [Washington state] voters were persuaded at least partly because the initiative and its boosters exploited deep-seated prejudices and misunderstandings about transgender people to erode their rights.

    If you put weight classes on everything and remove women’s sports, at the same weight men are generally far more capable due to sex based differences. Women won’t be winning much anymore

      Patently untrue, look up why women were excluded from playing in sports and then made to only play in child sized ‘womens sports’ leagues.

      Men cannot handle losing to a woman in a sport, they throw giant goddamn tantrums when it threatens this kind of worldview. ( I lost, to a girl??)

      Women are segregated into women’s leagues for the same reason black men were put in their own leagues, to prevent identity risk. (I lost, to a epithet??)

        Women were excluded from playing sports? Lol what

        Women have been depicted playing sport since ancient times, there’s ancient Roman and Greek female athletes which were given separate events with shorter distances to run due to physical ability differences.

        They had their own version of the Olympics called the Heraean Games, of which sixteen women governed.
