If admiration and support for female athletes drive support for prohibiting transgender women from participating in women’s sports, then those who favor Title IX should also favor bans. Instead, 43% of Title IX supporters favored restrictions, compared with 70% of Title IX opponents.
Our findings – that negative attitudes toward women and opposition to Title IX predict support for banning transgender women from sports that match their gender identity – hold even after accounting for other factors like partisanship, ideology and demographic characteristics.
The debate over transgender athletes is often framed as a matter of protecting women. Our findings complicate that narrative: People with the most negative attitudes toward women – and toward policies that protect women’s sports – are the most supportive of banning transgender women from women’s sports.
People come into our stadiums to through dildos at the athletes. Its a hateful country towards women, the wnba is just doing what the public wants. And no one is going to do anything about it. Just like everything else wrong right now, nothing is going to happen to the people doing it.
It just confuses me why all of those people suddenly care so much about women’s rights when it comes to the treatment of trans kids or when it comes to how muslim women and girls are allowed to dress but they don’t seem to care at all in almost every other case.
Oh wait, my bad, I mispoke, this doesn’t confuse me at all it makes perfect sense based on how they behave.
