I didn’t see any anti-trans ballot initiatives; there were a few school sports initiatives, and trans can still compete whenever they’d like.
They just don’t get to pick their team. Like everybody else.
p.s. I’ve already been banned in another unrelated sub for this very post. Always remember, if you tell the truth, keep one foot in the stirrup! I forgive you, person
Go away with your weird, annoying passive aggressive conservative bullshit.
I like reality, where trans women can play sports fairly with cis women because every study that relies on measurements (like real grown ups use) shows that trans women should absolutely compete on the womens and trans mens on the mens.
But for me, it’s deeper than that because frankly enbies deserve to play a game. You’re lame for defending stupid sports scholarships and the entire “school sports ecosystem”. These are all childrens games. The fact you talk with so much vitriol about trans people because of a game shows you have USELESS priorities.
Sure, I do it all the time. Turns out, volleyball has a real advantage for height. Should we ban all women over 6ft from playing volleyball? Being that tall is inherently unfeminine. Or maybe we should just ban any women who are too good at sports? Women are supposed to be gentle and soft, not aggressive! Get those aggressive, competative, manly women outta here.
The situation you’re talking about is rare enough to be negligible compared to the number of people excluded from women in sports communities for no reason. And honestly, for the VAST majority of athletes, playing sports is about community and inclusion, not accolades.
Pretty sure you were attempting to speak for all women a few hours ago. Guess you aren’t familiar with this kind of push back when you crawl out from your fucking hole in the wall and encounter real life other people and not your bot laden incel movement.
if you can’t see how “forced genital inspections” is blatantly anti-trans i’m not really sure how to help you. this is going to result in the tiny number of transgender girls in sports being kicked or shamed off their teams, while simultaneously making things very uncomfortable for all the cis girls who will also be forced to undergo regular genital inspections. and for what?
the fact that these passed, in supposedly “woke” states, is not only awful in and of itself, but also sets a terrifying precedent for things to come.
But it won’t, because if that’s what anyone involved with this was actually worried about then they would be doing that already during a regular physical exam during which they already take a cheek swab. That doesn’t need a referendum.
This is about trans exclusion and making schoolgirls flip up their skirts for coach. There is no explanation for it that can suggest otherwise.
Initiative 638 is a 2026 ballot initiative proposing the amendment of Washington state law. The initiative would require students participating in K-12 sports to submit medical documentation that verifies their “biological sex” as female. This would prohibit transgender girls from competing in school athletic activities intended for females, and would require healthcare providers to verify a student’s biological sex to determine eligibility.

Does the text of Initiative 638 mention genital checks? It appears to be about making participation in sports based on sex, which may only involve a cheek swab to determine. there is enough fear going around without worrying about things the initiative doesn’t say

Trans rights are human rights.
Unfortunately women athletes disagree with you
Hey, hey! I’m a woman athlete, and I think you should stfu. Trans rights are human rights.
First woman I’ve met who supports it. Out of curiosity you would be okay entering competitions where you have no chance of winning?

You speak for all women athletes?
Do you? You’re assuming they have no problem with it.

here’s one.

“opponents of the initiative say…”
yeah, people say a lot of things. but sex can be tested using a cheek swab.
But it won’t, because if that’s what anyone involved with this was actually worried about then they would be doing that already during a regular physical exam during which they already take a cheek swab. That doesn’t need a referendum.
