  • Get out with your unfounded accusations really rich coming from a transphobe listening to propaganda stemming from millions of dollars being spent to attack a vulnerable minority. Banning trans people from sports is about hatred and exclusion not that is nonsensical premise about “fairness”

    Sports bans endanger all female players by encouraging baseless, false allegations and discriminatory, invasive screening. A college volleyball team in California had to get security to protect teams when one player was accused of being transgender. A high school player in Utah falsely accused of being transgender had to get police protection and a Utah elected official was censured for sharing disinformation about her. Bans on trans athletes have led to invasive screening that violate the privacy and safety of all women and girls, and discourages more who might want to play. Athletes of all ages and abilities who are not trans have been bullied and harassed when accused of being trans.

    LGBTQ athletes continue to face challenges based on their identities. While LGBTQ acceptance in sports has advanced in recent years, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, and colonialism are ongoing barriers for LGBTQ athletes from multiple marginalized identities. Harmful policies, attitudes, and discourse about LGBTQ people in sports are directed at transgender people, people with intersex traits, people of color, people from non-Western countries, women who do not fit conventional norms around femininity, as well as men who do not fit outdated norms of masculinity.

    Athletes come in all shapes and sizes including physical advantages helpful to their sports, such as Michael Phelps’ long arms and Simone Biles’ compact size that help them excel, yet those physical attributes have never been used to restrict or ban their participation. Being an athlete is also more than bodies – it is about courage, dedication, luck, talent, and most urgently, expanding access and encouragement for all who want to play.

    I’m a “paid promoter” just for having an opinion and being an active poster. Everyone is in this world is biased. I’m not going to stop being a leftist because you personally don’t like it. This province has 13 political parties not just 2 who get all the spotlight.

    that the green party is happily embracing the authoritarian trend in politic

    Where? Because she disagrees with the provincial government’ sabre rattling. It was the NDP who sabotaged proportional representation by putting a up a sham of a referendum and for lying about passing it without a referendum in their 2017 campaign.

    The greens got us contribution limits, they show their members how their contributions are being spent in the party, support proportional representation and have criticized the government for putting up a paywall for information requests.
