ACLU Attorney Says Male Trans Athletes Doesn’t Have Advantage over Girls: ‘It’s Just a Fear of the Unknown’
‘And I think there are a lot of stereotypes at work, which is true for a lot of discrimination’
EXCERPT:
BLOCK: “Our client, Becky, she’s been on puberty blockers and hasn’t had an instant of so-called male puberty. So, from a biological perspective, of all the things that are supposed to give men on average an advantage over women on average, that doesn’t apply to her. Her physiological characteristics would be just like other girls her age. So it’s not really about biology here. What you have here is a categorical ban that bans transgender girls from all competitions from kindergarten on up at all levels. Doesn’t matter if it’s varsity or club. And so, when you have that sort of categorical law that fences people out entirely, something more than biology is what’s behind it. And I think it’s just a fear of the unknown.”
