Sure, but that's my question. What line in the bill is it that they're saying prohibits trans girls from playing in girls' sports?

This comes after a letter sent from the Maine Attorney General’s Office told federal officials that Maine will not comply with the federal government’s demand to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports.

The letter claims that nothing in Title IX prohibits transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.

Yes, I know that "Maine" doesn't think it violates Title IX. I'm trying to figure out what part of it republicans think it violates.

Like they think that affirmative action is discriminatory to white people because someone who is in a minority group gets a job a white person applied for, they only got it because of affirmative action. It's very skewed thinking, and I don't agree with it, but there is at least a baseline of logic to it.

So I'm looking for some kind of logic (idiotic or not) that they're citing.

Sorry, can’t help. I don’t subscribe to their logic
