Slotkin on Transgenders in Women’s Sports: ‘Let the Local Community Figure this Out’

EXCERPT:

SLOTKIN: "Well, look, I think, you know, you'll have to talk to Mr. Newsom and his podcast, and we're all talking about it now because it's, you know, good controversy. For me, I mean, I grew up playing three seasons of sports. In Michigan sports is, like, our religion, right? I wouldn't be here, I think, without the leadership training that I got in women's sports. But for me, it's like, let the local community figure this out, right? In Michigan, we have a process in place where if someone who's born a boy wants to play in women's sports, you have to get a waiver. We've had it happen two times in our entire state. So, let the local communities, just like everything with schools, handle that issue. For me, though, I think, you know, this issue is being sort of brought up in order to make sparks and see sparks fly."
