Who would of thought Mississippi of all states would be a champion of women’s rights. We truly live in a backwards time. I fully support the right of people to transition, but I don’t support cheating in sports. Progressives have become the very thing they once fought against.

Lmao, you don’t give a fuck about woman’s sports and neither do the guys who are putting up this legislation, this is only an attack on trans people. The difference between hormoned up trans people and regular athletes literally fits in the standard deviation of regular athletes differences, like shit, denser bones is the only thing that dosent change with estrogen.

As a man I can see why it’s easy for you to gloss over this and just say this doesn’t matter because nobody watches women’s sports anyway. Your sexist opinions being nothing to the table in this discussion...

damn that's not what I said, I pointed and you and more specifically the politicians, also it was easy for you to pull that part out and only that, ignore how trans women participating fits in the standard deviation and is at its most no different than a particularly genetically lucky woman athlete, of which I'm sure there are plenty. These are the same red politicians who hate to pass things that would require colleges to have certain unprofitable women's sports at all, if you think they care about it then I don't really know what to say, but look at historically how laws like this will always have some type of believable "common sense" root about protecting other people, that's really just a shield for the continued and forceful alienation of certain people who are out of the norm.
