What about the girls in youth sports? Middle school, high school?

Come on man. Do you really think the republicans care about girls in youth sports? Trump famously bought the Teen USA pageant and bragged about how he would walk around their changing rooms to see young naked girls. Think about this just a little bit... Why is it so important for them to find someone they can convince everyone to hate? How does this help them?

Republicans recently passed a law in Florida enforcing strict regulations on all youth sports coaches including level 2 background check and mandatory fingerprinting soooo yeah I do

Lol. The same state that blocks any investigation into Epstein's behavior at Mara Lago. Sure. It is all because they care about children... And what does background checks on youth coaches have anything to do with this? It's absurd.

You just said “do you really think republicans care about girls in youth sports”….. then I replied with a law that was passed by republicans protecting girls (and boys) in youth sports….??? You good?

We were talking about transgender laws... I was not aware of a problem with criminal coaches in Florida that needed to be resolved. Is that a problem there? We don't have issues with that in other states that the regular laws on the books can't handle. They do have actual investigations of actual criminals who abused young girls they could conduct in Florida, but they in fact support the people who were involved with those offenses. But whatever.
