Well the less than 10 trans athletes in the NCAA must be crushed.

For those that say trans people should just have their own league, there aren’t enough trans athletes to do that. A tiny tiny sliver of trans people are athletes and we are already only 1.5 million people. Having our own league guarantees trans people can’t be athletes cause there’s not enough people or funding for a whole league. Women’s leagues already struggle with funding and women are the majority in the country.

Plus does trans people having their own league mean trans men and women play against each other because that doesn’t seem fair since they both have similar level of athletic ability as their cis counterparts. So then do we the separate it further into trans men and trans women leagues? Because that definitely won’t get enough funding for two brand new leagues across all education linked and professional sports.

Either, trans people can participate against their cis counterparts because there’s plenty of evidence to show they fall in line with them when it comes to athletic ability, or you say no trans people can ever ever play sports. That’s it.

I’ve seen a lot of my fellow trans folk say the Democrats were going to support this. That Democrats are going to throw us under the bus and let our rights be taken away, supporting it even. Yet here we are with an actual vote on the direct subject of Trans folks’ existence and whether we can participate in sports and only 2 Dems voted for it. 1 voted present. The vast majority of the Democratic party supports trans rights and will vote against shit like this.

When it comes to the military budget last year, which had the transphobic rider, a budget was on the line, they voted for the budget because of how important that was, regardless of how that was incredibly misguided.

Democrats still vastly support trans people.
