On Feb. 5, 2025, on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning trans girls and women from competing on sports teams that reflect their gender identity.
... These people — Donald Trump and his allies in the anti-trans movement — do not care about women... They certainly do not care about the safety of children.
These are people who have no interest in protecting anybody but themselves and are reflexively seeking to control the bodies of others as they've sought to do their entire adult lives.
These people absolutely know that allowing trans athletes to compete in these sports only would benefit society... they don't care if trans kids are isolated to the point of feeling suicidal.
In 1933, the Nazis looted, vandalized and burned the Institute of Sexual Research in Berlin. Along with Jews and Communists, queer people were among the first targets of the Nazis, with 50,000 of them being jailed from 1933 to 1945 and 15,000 of them dying in concentration camps.
Hopefully this is not the path America is leading down, but this needs to be a wake-up call for fence-sitters and equivocators. We cannot "both sides" any "debate" of civil and human rights.

We're already going down that path.
Very often, I think that things can't get any worse. Then we have an election that proves that notion false. ;D
