An effort to ban transgender girls from girls school sports in Washington was leading in election results released Tuesday night.

According to the Secretary of State’s office, 54% of voters said yes on Initiative 638, one of three ballot measures backed by conservative political committee Let’s Go Washington. More votes will be counted in the coming days.

    No that comment said they only focus on girls. You assumed too much about their statement. They never even asked a question.

      They’re trying way too hard to pretend it isn’t just sexual insecurity and misogynistic bigotry 🙄

        I’ve had sex with a minor, and it was definitely a thing. It wasn’t rape, either.

        This in their history, no wonder they’re in here arguing about genital exams for little girls.

            I’ve been sticking to my own communities more and more because of it. Well, my own or communities where I know the mods will take action.

          You’re pulling a comment from another post completely out of context. Someone said there is no such thing as sex with a minor. It is always rape.

          That’s not true, and I used my own experience as an example. That you’re not creative enough to think why my having sex with a minor would not be illegal nor immoral is not my problem.

              Again, not rape.

              Nor did I argue for genital exams for little girls.

              You’re trying to paint me as a pedophile and won’t let facts get in the way. That’s pretty disgusting. Maybe stick to the communities where that behavior is acceptable.

                I said you’re arguing about genital exams.

                We don’t need anybody playing devil’s advocate about this initiative.

                Again, not rape.

                The conversation was about raping minors and you thought you’d be cheeky and clever with that comment. A mod removed it for a reason.
