Sorry to be spoiling your thread but a chat about this started earlier:

Good 👍

The US state of Mississippi has banned transgender women from taking part in competitive sports

I very much doubt he has banned transwomen from competing, only from competing against women. Sad that Joe Biden has struck a crippling blow against women’s sports, but at least individual states can reduce the harm.

He's banned women from competing against women which is fair. I was trying to explain to my niece today, it's all well and good being equal but there's more to it than just waving rainbows. It's taking the level playing field away from women.

As somebody who uses carers to care for my disabled adult dd one of the requests is for female carers as she needs personal care. I could one day find myself in hot water for refusing a female with a penis. And that scares me and puts my dd in a position she shouldn't ever be in.

The idea that the needs of your DD are being abandoned in favour of validating individuals is terrifying MobyDicksTinyCanoe But the Equality Act allows you to insist on same sex care - just ignore the lobby groups misrepresenting the law.
