The Seattle Times says there is "no serious scientific evidence" that trans girls or women are better athletes than girls and women.
I'm a WA licensed medical provider who specializes in sports medicine, so I'll be blunt: that sentence is false, and the Times doesn't name one study to back it up. No expert said it. The reporters just wrote it.
Here's what they left out:
• The American College of Sports Medicine's 2023 consensus statement: males typically outperform females by 10–30% in endurance, strength, speed and power events, and the gap is tied to male puberty.
• A 2021 British Journal of Sports Medicine review of 24 studies: strength, lean mass and muscle size stayed above female levels even after 36 months of hormone treatment.
• U.S. Air Force fitness records: after two years of treatment, trans women still ran the 1.5-mile test 12% faster than the female average.
And I-638 covers K-12 kids, most of whom aren't on any hormones at all. Ask the Camas cross-country girls who walked off the course in October whether this advantage is "serious."
More than 1.25 million Washingtonians, 56.6%, voted to protect girls' sports. Now the Times is trying to talk them out of what they saw with their own eyes, while Seattle's school board and mayor go to court to undo their vote.
I-638 takes effect Dec. 3. With a House supermajority that can now amend initiatives, I'll fight any attempt to gut it, and I'll keep correcting the record every time the Seattle Times won't.
@RealHickory Yes! Good point: the Democrat Party's favorability rating was 30% before the midterms ... and, yet, there was a massive blue wave? I don't think so!

🚨 Sec. Marco Rubio just got teary-eyed after his eldest daughter, Daniella, gave him a loving introduction to a standing ovation.
“Was that cool or what?”
God bless the Rubio family!
