In reality, NCAA President Charlie Baker recently testified that fewer than 10 transgender athletes are currently participating among the 510,000 student-athletes in NCAA programs.

This is the context that republicans completely ignore. .002% of college athletes are trans. That’s barely even a rounding error.

My dad was going off about trans kids in sports so I asked him....is this really how you want your tax dollars spent? Fightings to keep a handful of kids from playing college sports?

"Yeah, well I, uh, it's just not fair to the other athletes!"

That's an excellent way to confront that issue! Americans might not be able to interact with empathy or sympathy but we cannot stand feeling dumb😂

Watch out, some just double-down when they feel dumb.

There's a reason that movement is so anti-intellectual and don't care for facts.
