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 :'-(
