Speaking as a Californian, unfortunately, he probably is.
The guy who ruined San Francisco got the credentials to ruin California. Now he's gearing up to ruin what's left of the country
When you culture is so much about cOMpEtItiOn that you forget that sports are just a made up thing for witch we get to make whatever rules we like. Gender segregation in sports isn't that eternal either.
If you're that worried about different abilities competing, install a tiered system like the Special Olympics.
EDIT: Interesting read: https://daily.jstor.org/gender-incommensurability-in-sports/
What if the separation of competitions, “said to be a natural consequence of the differences between men and women,” is actually is “just a tool to create those differences”?
Yeah, we should totally focus on something so vanishingly rare and trivial it almost doesn't exist instead of the myriad of real world, life and death problems.
That's how you lose elections. You just say "x issue is not that important" and wonder why voters who think it's important don't vote for you
It is trivial, but at the same time, this issue is a cultural flashpoint, extremely politicized, and also potentially a vote winner/loser. It's very unfortunate.
I'm not sure what the answer is, but the US just voted for a neo-fascist regime, and some of these cultural/identity issues may have played a role in that.
It's a tightrope, for sure.
All I can say for sure is that whatever the Dems were doing didn't and won't work moving forward. Whether it's true or not, the perception of the democratic party seems to be that they care more about identity than everyday issues. For everyone's sake, it might be time that they attempted to change that perception.
We don’t need solutions for wealth inequality nor housing crisis nor cost of living issues nor the rise of fascism.
It is unfair. I dominate at women's sports, great ego boost when I feel down. Mixed duo in tennis is a good balance though.
Do not engage with such bullshit. This is such a fucking non-issue, that is ultimately more about demonizing one of the most marginalized minorities in history, rather than "protecting" anyone.
Yes, but the problem is that the right engages with these issues. It allows them to score points. The left should have never been in a position where it was arguing in favor of trans women in women's sports. It allows the ghouls on the right to dodge the economic and social issues that really matter.
The left should focus on real problems that matter to people in material ways. The right wants to make major cultural battles over some tiny fraction of people. They don't "engage with these issues", they create them. If you feel the need yo constantly defend yourself from every manufactured right wing outrage, you have already lost. By engaging, you legitimize their narrative. Focus on improving peoples' lives in measurable ways.
You cannot let the right's reactions control what you do. You'll never win if you let that happen.
That's the mistake that centrist triangulators like Newsom keep making.
Oh, because it worked so great last election. Tell me, how man seats for the Democrats pick up?
When America shifts to the left on economic issues, that benefits all Americans, especially vulnerable groups like the trans community. The issue of trans athletes in women's sports helps no one. It doesn't help trans people. How does trans atletes in women's sports benefit trans people at large? It only causes hostility against the trans cause and against progressive politics.
You know what's more unfair? Targeting transgender kids.
