As children across the U.S. head back to classes and practices for fall sports, four more states are expecting their K-12 schools to keep transgender girls off their girls teams.
Kansas, North Dakota and Wyoming had new laws in place restricting transgender athletes before classes resumed, and a Missouri law takes effect at the end of this month, bringing the number of states with restrictions to 23.
Yeah they’re just 12 people they deserve to die right? Might as well just let it happen. /s
Not playing a sport will make them DIE???
On the flip side, some 50,000 people die in the US because they do not have health insurance, and almost a million go into bankruptcy because of medical costs and millions more are affected by obnoxious medical bills.
Have some focus, for fucks sakes.
It’s not just sport though is it? It doesn’t stop there. It’s constant laws upon laws that discriminate against them, and sport is just one of them. So yes, this issue does need focusing on, because yes, people will die from it.
I also agree that free healthcare should be a focus for the US, but that’s a much more contentious issue with health insurers lobbying hard to keep it how it is, and their money talks.
It’s not “oh we’re focusing on this issue and therefore can’t do any other ones”, it’s “we’re also interested in this issue, here is our stance we will try to make happen”. If politics only focused on one issue at a time nothing would ever get done.
