On November 3, nearly 56% of Washington voters approved Initiative 638, which restricts girls’ school sports to biological females. It should be more like 98%, but this is Washington, where the Great Stupid reigns and rational brains asked to leave the room. Nevertheless, that’s a clear majority, no? The voters have spoken. The party that claimed throughout 2024 that it was the bulwark against GOP incursions on freedom and the Republic would naturally accept the will of the people as a matter of principle and integrity, right?
Why, bless your heart…
The Seattle School Board voted unanimously last week to authorize legal action against Washington’s newly approved initiative banning biological males from competing in girls’ school sports. The November 9 vote was consistent with the board’s earlier unanimous vote in September to oppose Initiative 638 before voters registered their opinions. The new resolution authorizes action intended to “protect the interests of the District and prevent harm to District students that implementing Initiative Measure No. IL26-638 would cause.” What harm? Somebody worked hard to bootstrap this argument: The real girls are at risk because of the initiative’s passage. See, since the only way to make absolutely certain that girls on the girls teams were really girls, someone would have to examine their naughty bits, or something. Sure. It’s so hard to identify those males who decide they will have a better chance at scholarships and trophies and medals if they “identify” as female…

No matter how apparent reality is these people are determined to ignore it, do the opposite and damage anything normal or rational in the process.
In my world Washington would have been forced out of the union about a decade ago.
