“… There are roughly 510,000 NCAA athletes. And, according to the president of the NCAA, there are fewer than 10 trans athletes total. Even if all of these efforts to “protect” women’s sports were in good faith, this would still be a solution in search of a problem.

Needless to say, these efforts are not in good faith, which is why, for example, the state’s complaint won’t even use the term trans woman or trans athlete, instead calling them men or “biological males.”

It’s why there are dozens of paragraphs about athletes who are not trans, are not NCAA athletes, and are not even American athletes, like Caster Semenya and Imane Khelif.

Invoking Semenya, a South African runner, and Khelif, an Algerian boxer, is a favorite tactic of transphobic right-wingers, sending the not-so-subtle message that they will police the gender of anyone they deem insufficiently female. …”

If you care so much about CIS women maybe you should focus on real issues, like the fact that a rapist was elected.

Every CIS woman that voted trump lost their outrage card.

You vote for a rapist, don't claim outrage over .01% of the population possibly using the restroom with you.

Are you talking about E. Jean Carroll's accusations against Trump or Tara Reade's against Biden? Which supporters voted for a rapist?

Which one did a jury find liable for sexual assault?

technically, the jury did not find Trump liable for sexual assault. But they could not have reached the verdict they did (liability for defamation) without believing that the sexual assault happened.
 


“… Now, a medical journal has published the most reliable estimate yet and the numbers are low, reflecting more clearly on medical practices now being weighed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Fewer than 1 in 1,000 U.S. adolescents with commercial insurance received gender-affirming medications — puberty blockers or hormones — during a recent five-year period, according to the study released Monday.

… “We are not seeing inappropriate use of this sort of care,” said lead author Landon Hughes, a Harvard University public health researcher. “And it’s certainly not happening at the rate at which people often think it is.”

… The researchers analyzed a large insurance claims database covering more than 5 million patients ages 8 to 17.

Only 926 adolescents with a gender-related diagnosis received puberty blockers from 2018 through 2022. During that time, 1,927 received hormones. The findings, published in JAMA Pediatrics, suggest that fewer than 0.1% of all youth in the database received these medications.

The researchers found that no patients under age 12 were prescribed hormones, an indication that doctors are appropriately cautious about when to start such treatments, Hughes said.

“I hope that our paper cools heads on this issue and ensures that the public is getting a true sense of the number of people who are accessing this care,” he said.…”
 
Why are you bringing pesky facts into this? It's like finding out that there has only been two gender reassignments in federal prisons, both by highly contested court orders. It detracts from the narrative.

If only facts still mattered in public discourse.
