Sen. Loki Tobin (she/her) of Anchorage is furious at the Alaska School Activities Association for its 5-3 decision to not allow males to compete in female competitive sports in high school programs that make up the ASAA. So furious that she has resorted to using foul language on social media.
“Discrimination & hate are bullshit. I hope litigation against the adopted ASAA bylaw change prohibiting trans girls from participating on the sports team that aligns with their gender identity is swift & the action deeming this unlawful regulatory change just,” Tobin wrote on X/Twitter. “#protecttranskids.”
The response to Tobin’s comment was polite enough, but most who ventured an opinion disagreed with her.
“How about protecting our girls? No one’s saying trans kids can’t compete, just do it against fair competition or in their own category,” wrote one Alaskan in response.
“Enough of your hate speech, come on. Most are not saying they hate these kids or want them to be discriminated against. Have a separate category or they can compete with the gender they are born as. I will fight for them as well, but it must be fair to all. Its not hard. Stop it,” wrote another.
“Protect the innocence of boys and girls from those saying ‘trans’ is ok,” commented a third.
On Monday, ASAA brought its bylaws in line with the regulations set by the Alaska Board of Education, which passed a resolution in August protecting girls sports.
Any lawsuit against the Board of Education and ASAA, as suggested by Tobin, would require a plaintiff who has been harmed by the policy, which would require a trans-acting teen to show that he intended to compete on a girls’ team.
As hard as that may be to find, that is the approach the left has taken, such as with Colorado cake baker and devout Christian Jack Phillips, who refuses to bake wedding cakes for gay couples or to celebrate transgender surgery. The first job for the Left was to find a plaintiff who wanted a cake from his Masterpiece Cakeshop.
