It's about excluding people from public life.

Arguments against trans folk in sports amount to two:

  • it's not fair because genetics

  • it's not safe because sexual assault

On both fronts I enter Shaq. Shaq from genetics is a freak whatever sport he chose he's got a distinct advantage over me, and I already am rather tall and large compared to most of society. So there is no sense of fair genetics.

Shaq literally was shitting in people's shoes, assaulting them and putting their personal items in his rectum.

So what the fuck are we talking about? It clearly doesn't protect men either? Maybe the problem is something much larger.

This is such a non issue. There are no transgender individuals who go through decades of medical procedures and social stigma only to play a sport. For the amateur ranks the point is to learn the game and to have fun. (so if you don't want to play again trans people is as simple as not playing against them.) The professional ranks can cross that bridge when it comes. (we are so far away from any Trans individual realistically being able to compete regularly in professional sports.) Until then trans people just want to be treated like humans. What's also fun, No one is crying about trans men in sports; but somehow they are 100% no women could kick a field goal or shoot 45% from the corner in basketball.

Its not a transgender issue, this is just the ploy to inflame people and obfuscate the real goal. They are trying to dismantle women's sports.
