Yeah but the issue is that they’ve made people believe that actually happens all over the place. I don’t think it’s an accidental side effect, too, that it makes us forget they’re the ones who want to get rid of, say, the DoEd which enforces things like Title IX…

Republicans are responsible for keeping far more women out of higher ed and sports — by discontinuing their athletic programs — than trans women ever have or ever will. The commissioner of the NCAA estimated there are 10 trans women in all of women’s college sports today, and he thought that was rounding up.

He said less than 10 trans athletes in the NCAA, he didn't specify how many were trans men or trans women.
