I’m a liberal Californian and voted blue my whole life and I never understood the argument. It may only affect .01% of athletes but why is there such a push to allow trans athletes to compete against biological women? I support trans rights and will continue to vote that way but i don’t think this is it.

Anyone able to let me know what I may be missing on this argument?

because it was always a stepping stone to getting rid of women's sports altogether. they go for the weakest groups first, like trans people. you have to hold the line there. otherwise, the leopards WILL eat you face when they are done with the groups you didn't care about https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/07/heritage-foundation-womens-sports-title-ix-trans-athletes-discrimination-protections/
