With Alabama’s Supreme Court ruling IVF Embryos are “people,” the far right’s assault on reproductive freedom continues. That's not the only front they are advancing on, and it’s already cost lives.
And there's the hypocrisy of the Nassau ban not applying to trans boys. Of course the whole thing is stupid but this makes it doubly stupid.
Also worth mentioning that the Alabama AG has said they won't prosecute IVF issues and that supposedly the state legislature is making a bipartisan effort to reverse the ruling. Whether or not any of this actually happens is a different story and remains to be seen.
I guess the argument is one of those "Men are naturally stronger than women" ones, so that girls can play in sports on a boy's team because they can always aim "higher," but boys can't aim "lower?" I think Blakeman is doing that solely to narrow the focus so that he can hide behind, "It's not Transphobia and culture war stuff, I'm just legitimately concerned about these girls who might get unfair competition!" even though that's always how it *starts,* not how it *ends.*
