    Jesus Christ, just let private sports organizations sort it out between themselves, their participants, and their audience. Why should this be the government’s problem when everything’s on fire and there’s microplastics in our brains and lungs? I mean really, who gives a shit? You don’t like that the NHL decides not to be trans inclusive (fuck idk, did they)? Write em a nastygram and pull your subscription. You don’t like that they decided to be trans inclusive? Maybe stop being such a fucking piece of shit, but nobody’s holding a gun to your head, unsubscribe and send them your tear-stained letter about how it ruined your life. This is a niche issue that people can work out between themselves without the stupid government inserting itself into the middle of things.

      Who are you arguing against? I’m pro trans. I’m not I’m favour of government deciding this. But the government has decided to take away this right and now that forces people to fight (rhetorically) to restore it. I’m only making the case on how I think this subject should be approached.

      If you want to go and arguing trans people in pro sports again go ahead but the right loves that. Its the only position where they have an argument.

        I’m saying that should be the position: “unlike the republicans, we want a government small enough that it isn’t micromanaging how sports organizations run themselves. We believe that the organizations, their members, and their audience are competent adults who can work out their rules for themselves.”
