Allred: "I'm a dad. I'm also a Christian... I don't want boys playing girls' sports"

[Jack Valentino]

29. I think your criticism of Allred's statement on this issue is to accept GQP framing of it---

He said that he did not support 'boys' competing against 'girls' in sports--
is that right? I am not mis-understanding what he said, am I?

Well, I don't think ANY liberal or Democrat thinks that girls or women should have to compete against men or boys in sports....

However, those people who wish to compete in girls sports almost ALL now self- "identify" as girls or women, don't they?
And the vast majority of them have taken medical steps to become, in scientific fact, the sex with whom they identify, haven't they?


So to criticize Allred for the statement which he made, is to agree with Republican framing of the trans issue---

-- that the sex you are born with, is the sex that you remain, no matter what sex you identify with, and no matter what medical steps you have taken to change the facts of birth.

In that light, I don't see Allred's statement as any attack against trans, but rather in support of it.

(EXCEPT--- there was no need to bring Religion into it! but fucking Texas false Christians listening...)
