Even if you disagree with transgender athletes playing in leagues of their identified gender, it seems bizarre to spend so much time focusing on this.
The NCAA president testified before Congress there are fewer than 10 transgender athletes in an organization that represents 510,000 college athletes.
I'm sure at the professional level it's even fewer.
How much time do right wing politicians spend on this topic? An inordinate amount. It's identity politics through and through, in my opinion a distraction to the fact that their economic positions like billionaire tax cuts are extremely unpopular.

- dashundchen 2y agoI have not. But I'm skeptical this is an issue. In the same way that Joe Rogan and conservative media decided to start saying schools letting children use litter boxes in school was a big problem, which was also not true.
- gjsman-1000 2y agoHow many biological males are there in women's sports? Not many. How many high schoolers currently identify as LGBTQ? About 25%. Odds that at least one of your competitors in gym looks like a biological male? Very high. How does that make you feel? Angry that this could even be possible. (There's also the issue that many people disagree on principle - in other words, any number greater than 0, is an absurdity. It does not matter how low it is, and I have to agree with at least the ideological consistency of that position.)
