    Do you thinks “sports careers” are the only benefit of sports? Why are you okay with ripping children out of activities with their peers if Republicans decide it’s “controversial”?

    Most trans people know how fraught even visiting a gym is, and how important protections for trans people are to even allow us to exercise the way cis people do. I don’t know any trans people that embrace Newsom’s statements or appearance on Charlie Kirk’s shows, and I highly doubt you do either.

      Once again, it’s not like I don’t see and understand the issue. I want kids to be able to participate and compete.

      I simply will not sacrifice all other concerns for this, and make trans sports a litmus test for all candidates.

      People really seem to need me to be a complete transphobic monster for feeling this way. But it’s just a matter of priorities and where the line is drawn. Politics is compromise.
