This is what you're focusing on, really?
 

I find it deplorable that this is what our state government is focusing on when trans people only make up 1-2% of the US population and less than 0.0002% of US college athletes. Furthermore, 

A 2021 study published in the Journal Sports Medicine has found that there is no scientific evidence to support policymakers’ attempts to ban transgender women in sports.

In November 2021, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) released its Framework on Fairness, Inclusion, and Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sex Variations. This framework was developed after a two-year consultation process with over 250 athletes and stakeholders. 

I would rather government focus on poverty, equality, climate, access to healthcare and education, along with ourInfrastructure. These topics impact so many more people and would lead to more positive outcomes.
