It's not religion that is driving the resurgent moral panic about LBGTQ people in the USA. You don't get a 15% shift beliefs in a year due to growing religious sentiment.

It's cynical opportunists trying to ride to power on populist sentiment by delegating and demonizing an outgroup.

Fuck every one of them.

Please start opening up to genuine concerns. Do you want to wait until no one born female ever wins a sporting event and even further damage is done to women before you will consider there we need to find better solutions. It is not bigotry, there are issues and just getting angry slows progress.

@Acer_dissectum That extreme scenario seems to:
1. Not give athletes enough credit
2. Not give cis women enough credit
3. Exaggerate the rate of trans people and trans athletes

I'm on the fence on the athlete question and I think it's complicated, but this kind of hyperbole pushes me in the "oh fuck it, just allow it if for no other reason than to piss of the bigots among the critics" direction.

@clacke @ct_bergstrom okay then let's just have unisex sports then.
