I love that the league for 1 of 2 of the sports that Canada plays at a high level are speaking against this. The people actually involved with the sports say that it's no an issue, so other than just because you need a minority to bully in order to maintain power with your voter-base, why should we reckon it is?
What about banning tall kids from Basketball or short kids from gymnastics?
Neither are fair for everyone when someone under 1.5m can compete with someone over 2m.
I don't know this I don't see an issue with. I mean I guess it depends on the age younger doesn't matter but as you get older and if went through puberty it does. I mean the trans athlete in swimming beat the second place by 30 seconds your saying that isn't an issue? Or a trans MMA fighter cracked the skull of a female opponent never heard of that happening before. Also why do we always hear about trans women athletes and never about trans men? I mean I know the most likely reason the trans men would never make it to competition but why isn't that also an issue?
That's a matter of the psychology of right-wing hate mongers, and how easy they find it to rile people up about a non-issue.
