    Whose votes is he picking up here? The sort of people who want anti-trans bigotry in sports aren’t going to vote for him no matter which minorities he decides to chuck under the bus for traction.

    He’s doing this because it’s who he always was, and now that he’s on the other side of the primary he doesn’t have to care.

      There’s probably enough idiots in Texas that will vote for him because he is a Christian. It is Texas after all. I also think the question of fairness in sports may be a bit subjective and unfortunately not everyone knows the science behind it. We also don’t have much data in general. There’s also nuance, maybe someone is fine with it in middle school sports but not professional or something. It’s actually a somewhat interesting topic and I do understand people’s hesitation about it. I’m not going to count someone completely out over that one thing, honestly. Hell I would generally be against him simply because I don’t trust Christians, but compared to the alternative…whew.
