Alberta seeks to block trans athletes from female competition but can't say how many will be impacted
The new bill plans to restrict trans athletes from competing against women though Alberta can't say how many athletes will be affected.
"If just one trans child is harmed it will all be worth it", says Alberta premier Danielle Smith.

This sounds like a terrible bill. Also it's sexist as all fuck, why not prevent trans athletes in male sports as welll?
The people that are transphobic are often also misogynists.
I think the idea behind it is that trans athletes have an advantage in women's sports. That would not be the case in men's sports.
If they are trying to protect women from "men" in sports shouldn't they prevent "women" playing with men? One would think they would be at the same risk...
See, the problem here is that you're approaching this as a rational skeptic, instead of someone who takes their marching orders from a christofacist subsect of their voters (Take Back Alberta / TBA), and doesn't care about hurting anyone that isn't white and wealthy.
They don't see either as people
If you want to be impartial, don't use two different words for the two different groups. You know exactly the difference between protect and prevent. I'm not even defending the law, I'm just explaining why it's a one-sided issue
