He sort of alludes to it in the ep, this has been going on for years now, basically since gay marriage became legal and conservatives have been looking for another LGBTQ+ group to target. At first it was just the bathrooms (which he already covered) but sports has been going on for 2-ish years now.
It was a minor blip when Fallon Fox had her 3 MMA wins (before losing and retiring) and kinda went in the background. Lia Thomas being Pretty Good™ at swimming brought it back into the forefront.
100% correct. One note- Biden admin proposed policy guidance exactly in line with his key points. Scaffold restrictions based on age, level of competition, type of sport. Dems have failed to get their messaging together on this issue. They should attack- Call out the creeps policing girls' bodies.

The trans sport issue at least in the usa has been an issue and “debate” since the early 2010s.
