    The point is we should not make trans people in sports a litmus test for all candidates.

    Name a single political jurisdiction that banned trans kids from playing sports and was content with stopping there. Name one.

      This is a slippery slope fallacy. I say sports isn’t worth throwing every single other concern out the window, and you say ah but it’s not about sports, that’s just how it begins - if we don’t stand up for sports now, tomorrow they’ll be shoveling trans kids into crematoria.

      I won’t engage that faulty line of reasoning.

        You don’t know what the slippery slope fallacy is.

        The slippery slope is a fallacy when you’re just making hypothetical conjectures. I’m discussing the exact and specific numerous states have followed. I’m not speculating; I’m describing history.

        Again, name ONE political jurisdiction that has stopped at sports. You can’t because you know it never stops there, and that calling this a “slippery slope fallacy” is just your abominable attempt to cover for genocide.
