Do the "Fewer than 10" transgender athletes out of half a million that Charlie Baker, president of the NCAA, is aware of represent a "serious fairness issue", Pete? Fucking pussy.
That seems like a reasonable take to me. The leagues and organizations would probably know best how to handle these few outliers better than some old suits in a capital building somewhere far removed.
if politicians can't make decisions as good as subject experts, they should discuss it with subject experts. else why do politicians even have a job?
Politicians don't need to be involved in everything. You'd want politicians involved in your sports too?
What makes it unreasonable is that he is saying “Let the transphobes discriminate. It’s fine if trans people are mistreated and excluded from society. They don’t deserve protection.”
This is why Democrats have a popularity problem.
“We could make things better, but we aren’t going to, and it’s not our fault if we stand here and watch things getting worse” is not a policy that resonates with people. It’s sociopathic.
That's a wild stretch of meaning you made up versus the actual words said.
