No one wants to admit this. You’re not allowed to admit it. But the political incentive to throw us under the bus has been there for some years now, and yet Dem electeds remain pretty reliable thus far. They’ve hemmed and hawed and toyed with the idea of selling us out lately,
But we haven’t actually seen legislation happen. Not even on sports! Which is crazy; if they were really as shrewd and calculating on this, you’d expect Newsom to have pushed and signed a sports ban by now, in the run up for 2028

We have, unambiguously, the most pro-trans major/recently-ruling political party in the world. The Democrats are literally as good as it gets, in terms of major-party support, anywhere on earth for us. Everyone will get mad at me for saying it, but it’s a fact.

I swear we’re a suicidal constituency. We actively work to repel even the inexplicably solid allies we have.

Women don't get the amount of support, time and funding that men get from their childhood to become professionals at many sports, it's one of the main reasons behind gender differences in performance in some categories of elite athletes, removing gender separation in sports could potentially hurt a lot of professional sportswomen in this regard. Ofc full support to trans people getting to compete in whichever gender they choose.
And mixed spaces are notoriously toxic for female athletes, too. In chess, women masters fought to keep the women's divisions and tournaments just because they're safe spaces for them.
every once in a while a woman will be a kicker or punter in gridiron football and they pretty much all get assaulted by teammates.
