I'm a diehard liberal, 62 yo male. I agree banning male-born bodies from playing on female teams. It's clearly a huge advantage and unfair for the females. I disagree that athletes with advanced prosthetics should compete. Bionic people can run faster. Where does it stop? It's okay to ban them.

You think the sports league admin is incapable of figuring this out, so we need government intervention in it?

Pool?
Competitive Irish dancing?
Chess?
These bills treat all of the above the same.
The bill should be reasonable. If not, don't vote it in. My stance is basic. Physical advantage is unacceptable. IMO
Would it not make more sense to allow each sport to set their own regulations, as the regulators in those sports know what is fair?
We shouldn't treat swimming the same as golf the same as chess the same as darts.
That is how it is handled now.
Eliminating trans girls from boys' teams is telling those girls that you think they're actually boys.
That's wrong, devastating to their mental health, and *far* more harmful than whatever 'unfairness' might creep in.
