https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/maine-governor-janet-mills-comes>On Monday, days after Republican Sen. Susan Collins voted in favor of an amendment to Trump's SAVE Act that would ban transgender students from girls' sports nationwide, Maine Gov. Janet Mills—who is running in a Democratic primary to unseat her—came out with a forceful statement in favor of transgender youth in sports. Mills was asked about her position on a new ballot referendum that will likely go before voters this November—which would ban transgender girls from sports, bar transgender students from bathrooms in schools across the state, and carve transgender students out of the Maine Human Rights Act in certain cases. It is Mills' first time directly opposing the referendum, and a significant case of a Democratic candidate running for a swing seat standing up for transgender people.>"I would not support a ballot measure that demonizes children and demonizes and uses as a political ploy, as the Republicans have done, the right-wing Republicans have done, with this kind of initiative. It targets some of the most vulnerable people in our society," Mills said at a press conference. "I brought up five daughters in Maine. They all played sports. They should all have an opportunity to play sports. My husband was a coach, a high school coach, and I saw, I always saw in the eyes of those kids, new energy, new feeling about life, a new way to engage in teamwork, to make new friends, and that's what sports does—gives you a different perspective on life, makes you a better human being."

>>43041000BASEDwe all need to stop tolerating faith and expose this garbage, together
>>43041000we may unironically need the Chinese triads on our side in the future so this is good
>>43041000Reminder that leftists call this woman evil and rally behind the blackrock mercenary with a nazi tattoo instead
I'm fairly liberal and agree with democrats on most things but one thing I agree with conservatives on is that having transgirls in girls' sports is a bit ridiculous. I'd be upset if I was a girl playing in a sport and I had no chance of beating someone because they have a huge natural advantage over me.
>>43046916no matter what the science says bigots will be bigots. we know this because every scientific source says there's no noticeable advantage after 2 years HRT
>>43046942>b-but that one n=20 tranny thigh strength study from god knows where!! It commits every mistake in the book we use to shit on other studies but but its the only true one, because... it just is, okay!!
>>43046942Okay, sorry, if there isn't much of an advantage after being on hrt then I'm fine with it. I haven't done any research on it and just assumed that hrt wouldn't weaken you that much.
>>43047054anon....do you base all of your beliefs on unfounded and unresearched assumptions? i don't mean to be rude or anything but this is a little silly
>>43041000She's right to oppose it. I fundamentally don't understand why the fuck you'd tack it to a voting bill. It's a poison pill either way.
>>43048136No, but this was one of the times where I did. Apologies.
The problem is there's no threshold standards for MtFs as to what constitutes a realistic transition.Unless you're a giga young shit and snipped you ARE at an advantage in sports. Even if you're a sissyfied twink weaker than other girls in shape height is more than enough leverage to bully people. I know no beta trannys on this board actually played sports ( as a cod gay man I did american football, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, sailing and junior coached at my schools gym ) but come the fuck on get real.
ive always felt fucking trapped in maine even if its supposedly a good area for trannies. too bad my pennsylvanian ex pumped and dumped me, wouldve liked to see a little more of the world
>Maine>population 1.4 million>literally who the fuck cares
