Get a Life
 

Does our local government have nothing better to do then try and restrict CHILDREN from playing sports? Leave trans girls alone and let them play sports. Can our elected officials please focus on the rising rates of homelessness, rising rates of people who can't pay their rent/medical care/insurance/utilities etc.? Can we focus on the young men who have access to guns? Focus on parents being able to care for their children? 

Someone please explain to me what the purpose of restricting trans girls from sports is. I understand the question of locker room accommodations but this should be a question that is separate  from whether they can simply play sports with their peers. I think the authors of this bill need a quick lesson. "Biological male" does not equate to man. Male and Female are biological terms while man/boy and woman/girl are social terms. 

Again, the inflammatory language in this bill is meant to incite anger. Cis men and boys pose far more danger to girls than trans girls ever have and ever will. We have actual issues to fix in our commonwealth and bills like these are meant to distract and divide. 

Let trans girls play sports. There is not argument that is biologically or socially sound to restrict them.
