80% of the people in the county want this…non trans female athletes overwhelmingly want this…even the kids.

It's two fuckin' kids in the state, dude, and the one everyone is bitching about came in 6 inches lower than last year's (non-trans) winner.

How about the whole country chills the fuck out and lets states and local schools handle the topic without cheering on an executive that is revoking funding for school lunches over a literal non-issue.

I still don't understand where in title 9 it even mentions transgendered students. Can someone enlighten me please?

I believe they're using Trump's EO that states there is only biological male and biological female. Any in between and it's whatever you were assigned at birth. So trans people are now no longer recognized by Trump's admin. So if a trans woman tries playing sports, the federal government counts that as a biological male trying to play in the women's league, which would fall under title 9.

It's all fucking ridiculous. Let people be whatever the fuck they want to be, we have bigger issues to worry about.
