I found this quote from Riley Gaines to be really striking. Straight-up conceding that the purpose of trans sports bans is to normalize transphobia, and to give "ordinary" people "more cover" expressing it in public. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...

In his opinion in BPJ, Brett Kavanaugh goes on and on about how sports are just "different" from other "factual contexts." But anti-trans activists don't see it that way. For them, sports bans aren't the end goal. They are the starting point. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...

Trans people doing sports are not the hill for us to die on. Let it go, it's not important in the scheme of things.

Reminder that if your response to “this thing happened and it sucks” is “AND YOU’RE SURPRISED BY IT????” it should be legal for me to come to your workplace and microwave fish in the break room
