[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about jobs, etc. but I am happy that biological men are banned from women's sports. That was a mockery and wrong at every single level. Feel anyway you wants, identify anyway you want, dress anyway you like, and choose whatever relationship you want to be in, but stay away from women's sports. That part I am happy about.[/quote]

There were around nine people in sports...This made no change to life for most. [/quote]

Exactly.  While I don't think transwomen should be competing against biological women, I think this was largely a massively overhyped political boondoggle. 
 The average American female athlete literally had less than a one-in-a-million chance of even competing against a transwoman athlete in the first place and even then the transwoman wasn't necessarily going to win or even dominate the sport.  For example with all the hype about trans swimmer Lia Thomas, and Riley Gaines going on the national speaking tour carrying on about how her career was ruined and how she was denied greatness by Lia Thomas, what got glossed over is that in that competition, Lia Thomas didn't even place in the top 3.  She came in 5th place, which is practically meaningless in sports.

And what ultimately pisses me off is that for some reason this transwoman hype was made far far far far more important than dealing with ACTUALLY SERIOUS ISSUES like our broken healthcare system or the drug addiction epidemic or mass shootings.   THOSE are things directly affecting the lives of FAR MORE Americans than transwomen, and it's a slap in the face that transwomen became the top priority at the expense of everything else and the far greater harms to America.[/quote]

I agree with everything you are saying here, but I will tell you that the reality is that transgender women in sports resonated hugely with the average person, and more so those that are consumers of right-wing media. It was a very effective message.[/quote]
