@hhasslinger9601 Because it's not anywhere near that simple. People don't choose to be trans to get an advantage. They ARE trans, and suffer greatly just trying to be themselves. You can't just declare overnight that you're now a woman when you're sentenced to prison. However, if you ARE in prison, and you identify as trans, you are allowed to go through your transition and legally become identified as a woman, and yes, you can in fact be sent to a woman's prison.
It's like the idiotic claims of Republicans that some students will simply claim to be a different gender to get an advantage in sports. That's beyond stupid. The bullying, the prejudice, the constant right wing attacks on you and your family, are not something people will put up with just to play on a different league for a season. Transitioning is accepting who they are. NOBODY is doing it for a whim.
The sports analogy is the point. You are an athlete. What sport you play doesn't change that. But what type of sport you play is your choice, your identity.
I mean, I get most people don't care to think about it. They just stick with "trans bad" because Republicans tell them to, and that's about the extent of right wing thinking. Parrot whatever lies you're told, because thinking is scary.
