Can someone explain to me how my state got everything else right for the most part but went stupid for this one?
Literally, let’s inspect little girls privates, but not boys, because 10 trans students exist and MIGHT want to play sports with their friends? Jesus.
It was also kind of disgusting that literally all our state initiatives were funded by a 1%-er, Brian Heywood and his Let’s Go Washingtion PAC.
A bit of humor for the time: https://theneedling.com/2026/11/05/girls-finally-safe-now-that-they-have-to-show-adult-their-vagina-to-play-school-sports/
Also fuck Brian Heywood!
We won the war but lost the battle… Also this is sure to get sued and challenged as it’s a direct discrimination based on sex and title IX prohibits that shit
This dumb bullshit better get overturned ffs
Kind of weird how people claim to love democracy but want to overturn the will of its voters when its something they disagree with.
Funny enough this one passing really goes to show how stupid most voters seem to be in WA now.
They literally want to overturn one law they voted for years ago and they want to have a state supreme court who have all agreed that the incoming millionaire tax can go ahead even if it breaks the states constitution.
The state Dems need some real DSA competition because at this point it’s all pointing towards corporatacy with a veiled control of an oligarchy.
I would ask our WA incumbents to reveal their minutes behind closed doors with lobbyists and full financial disclosures to be reviewed by a non political backed watchdog but the very same court we just voted in said “go pound cold wet sand”
because dumbfck they word these things super misleadingly on the ballot and also spread tons of misinformation. it’s not proper democracy. gurentee if they actually were TRUTHFUL about trans people and the fact that trans women are basically on par with biological women after homorne treatment for years… but they don’t that’s the point it’s all misleading, biased bs meant to target bigots and people that don’t care to look deeper into it
Nah its not weird to want to overturn stupid harmful bullshit built on bigoted misinformation.
Democracy isn’t JUST voting for things and dealing with it. It’s the entire process within which there are mechanisms to overturn dumb illegal bullshit. Bullshit like subjecting young girls to molestation to soothe nazi hysteria.
Agreed with more DSA reps though no argument there.
The measure says students in elementary, middle and high school who want to join girls’ athletics must first submit statements from their healthcare providers verifying their “biological sex”. Opponents have raised alarms the measure may force girls to endure “invasive and extreme” genital exams to participate in school sports.
I wonder if they’re required to satisfy the federal standard for sex identification. That would require more than a genital exam. It would require capturing a zygote.
Pretty invasive.
The measure “may” force girls to endure invasive and extreme genital exams? I’m pretty sure having one’s genitals examined, especially when a minor, is invasive and extreme.
That is just humiliating. These aren’t professional sports leagues for god’s sake.
Super disappointed and the ballot guides argument for and against focused on very stupid points and not on anything to do with facts about transwomen and girls, not highlighted the discrepancies of greeting girls and women different from boys and men.
I don’t want to take away from your point, but I do want to point out that “trans women and girls” is probably a better written version of the same phonetic statement simply because trans is being used an adjective like “brilliant” or “gorgeous” or “empowered”
