House passes anti-trans sports bill

23. That's probably because of the fundamental asymmetries in biology and how those impact sports.

There is no similar case corresponding to that of Lia Thomas. So, there is no sense of unfairness relating to your question which has been created in public opinion for the GOP to exploit.

Are there any trans-gendered men who have successfully taken any titles away from cis-gendered men? I don't know of any. Even if there were, the "ethos" around that sort of a defeat would have the public tell those who were defeated to "suck it up, losers!" At least, that is my guess. Then, if further complaints were encountered, it would quickly descend into an imitation of the bully from The Simpson's and "Ha! Ha! You were beaten by a girl!" would be expressed.

One of the problems with this whole issue is that it depends on a similar sense of fairness existing on both sides of the debate. It is not going to work out for Democrats politically to expect the GOP to mirror of the Democrats' sense of fairness on this issue.

If the Democrats make this a primary issue, they will likely lose independents in the next election in spite of everything the GOP has done to destroy women's rights.

So, to answer your question more succinctly, there is nothing to be gained by the GOP if they were to do what you suggest in your question, while there is a lot to be lost for the Democrats in opposing this issue.

The primary issue related to this topic should be one of healthcare and ensuring that all people have access to healthcare. To allow this to be made into an issue about sports does not serve the Democrats well.
