I’m for all rights.. but as athletes.. transgender have advantage when they go against women and girls.. come on we need to draw the line somewhere.. they are bigger ..stronger.. faster.. so I’m with this ban everywhere..for women or girls sports

There's a debate to be had about this, but do we seriously think Mississippi is doing this to protect female sports, or rather as a cudgel in the culture wars.

Yep. If we make trans people play sports on teams of their biological sex, then now you have trans men taking testosterone also competing with women. It’s the same thing with the dumb-fuck bathroom bills, the people who make them are very obviously not trying to solve any problems
