“It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views,” Jean-Pierre said. “There is no ‘yes or no’ answer to this, it is complicated. There is a rule that the Department of Education [DOE] has put forward, and we’re going to let that process move forward, and again, we want to make sure that while we establish guardrails with this rule, we also prevent discrimination, as well, against transgender kids. But again, a complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that.”
“Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this,” New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “It is indefensible and embarrassing. The admin can still walk this back, and they should. It’s a disgrace.”
“Honestly, this move by Biden to push a rule on trans kids in sports is not only a backwards betrayal, it [forces] us to have to spend our time dealing with god d*** sports instead of criminal bans on our healthcare,” Alejandra Caraballo, a civil rights attorney and LGBTQ+ advocate, wrote. “He could have just done nothing. This is legitimizing transphobia.”
The mOsT PrOgReSsIvE Administration in History™ “A complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that” Fuck off out of here with that “centrist” nonsense. There’s nothing complicated about it, and it’s not an issue unless you want to turn it into one and want to appeal to people’s emotions like Republicans are doing. It was only a matter of time before they’d start throwing trans people under the bus. I guess with the coming elections it’s as good a time as ever.
This one isn’t complicated, liberal. Anybody who demands inspecting the genitals of highschool girls because his daughter’s team lost an amateur soccer match (which is what this boils down to and what is already happening out there) is a pervert who needs to be hunted down with the full force of the law. Trans women in sports are not a competive issue anywhere. There is not a single sport were we are a relevant force, and in fact our presence is not an issue at all anywhere unless we’re talking absolute edge cases like medically untransitioned trans women in full contact martial arts, which do not even apply in this case because we are talking motherfucking school sports. You do not base political discourse on edge cases not even relevant to the topic in question when the reasoning they’re brought up in the first place is a full-fledged plan for our outright genocide. Wake up and smell the Zyklon B, liberal. This is what has been going on this year, a concerted, nationwide effort to eradicate us starting with gender affirming care for minors and sports bans that is backed by the entire Republikan party and a gigantic propaganda budget that has made my people public enemy number one for the most fanaticised part of the base of your country’s fascist party.
TheUSA has already been consistently among the nations with the most transphobic murders worldwide for years. Florida and Texas are at the point where they are openly making lists of my siblings. If you still think this is complicated, you can walk into a buzzsaw for all i care.
Is anyone requesting genital inspection? The laws I’ve seen would almost require genetic testing for chromosome expression.
