I think it helps to bring it back to the real world, and not simply rhetorical hypotheticals. A lot of the otherwise well meaning people fall for the false premise that there is somehow vast amounts of trans women in women's sports, but there just isn't. They accept the idea that it's a popular occurrence for a male athlete to transition solely to dominate the women's sports field, but that just doesn't happen in real life.
It's really just a plain lie, and not at all worthy of serious consideration. If people who are presented with these facts still choose to be transphobic, then they're simply showing their true colors and using this as an excuse.
Nine??! Well I hope trans people have the opportunities available to them to compete if they so desire, which is the only consideration which gives me genuine pause.
This makes me think, obviously the satanic panic was similarly NOT a legitimate threat to whatever it was that was considered worth protecting. How many 'satanic cultists' were there even? Like 11 in one state? Jeez, saying these fears are blown out of proportion in and of itself, and relative to the number of people involved is an understatement.
Honestly, it's really sad there are so few. I find it horrifyingly depressing to imagine being the single transfem high school athlete in an entire state, and being aware that her state politicians are spending their time debating and passing a law in which the only material outcome is preventing her, personally, from competing in sports.
GUH that is awful, what a horrible experience!
I would think your friend wouldn't even be sure about any 'gains' or 'wins' because how would you know any kind of protection, benefit, or treatment like an equal human being could stay? Like anything could be overturned and any reliance on some positive might be setting one's self up for disappointment and further harm down the line! I feel so bad for her :'-(
Would be interesting to read those papers, tho.
