Transgender ideology is what is harming female athletes

The people who argue that men can be women have unsurprisingly ludicrous takes about men playing in women’s sports, including that not letting men play against women hurts all women.

That is the argument that was put forward by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) over the weekend. “Categorial bans on trans women harm all women,” Jayapal said. On X, she posted that “these insulting rules only promote fear” and “dangerous stereotypes.” Jayapal even went as far as to claim that keeping men out of women’s sports was “sex discrimination,” and she said it like it was a bad thing.
