Last month, the Transgender Law Center recommended abandoning transgender sports equality debates, as they have been found too easy for conservatives to win. A perfect example of this is a new political ad released by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem last week. The ad doesn’t actually use the word “trans” or “transgender.” Instead, Noem, like countless other politicians across the country, tried to say that she was just protecting “female sports.” State lawmakers, and particularly Republicans, have seized on trans people as a white-hot “culture war” issue: Last year, legislators in 34 states introduced 147 anti-trans bills, according to the Human Rights Campaign. At least 10 states ended up enacting bills that target trans athletes, despite the fact that even lawmakers frequently couldn’t find local examples of trans girls, a particular target of these bills, even playing sports.
