Who is this meant to target exactly? Of the vanishingly small number of trans athletes, there's an even smaller number that would be traveling internationally.
It's meant to target their angry, stupid base and get them cheering
Reminder that Trump is singlehandedly making it his mission to bully a SINGLE child in Maine. He is literally just an amorphous, souless husk of skin and evil.
get real, it's going to be expanded to all trans people. They're saying it's for athletes, but they'll make the criteria broad enough to attack whoever they want.
More performative hate brought to you from the good o' US of A.
I assure you, this hate is NOT performative.
Sadly, yeah, it really does stop being performative when the average puppets start echoing decent for trans, non-binary, or even just homosexual people.
This country is toxic, the government is cancer, and the people are sick.
So this also bans all intersex people who don't fit into their version of XX or XY phenotypes. Those who are XY genetically, have 5-alpha reductase deficiency during development, who are born and registered F based on external genital appearance, only to develop fully functional male genitalia and secondary sec characteristics at puberty once their testosterone levels increase. Or who are androgen insensitive and appear F externally, but are XY and can't develop male sex phenotypes because they aren't sensitive to the hormones that masculinize sex characteristics, thus they test positive for male hormones that they can't even respond to. Or XY people who fail to develop functional male gonads, and thus retain F external genitalia.
As far as they care, they just want to reduce the chance that they find someone attractive and then find out that person has a penis. They don't care who they have to hurt so that they don't have to risk potentially in the future feeling one second of mild discomfort.
