Why the Left Should Welcome a Debate Over Trans Women in Sports | Opinion
a photo of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas went viral. In it, a smiling Thomas stands on a podium, having won the 500-yard freestyle at the NCAA Division I Championship.
Her opponents—all biologically female—stand together on the other end in what many interpret as a show of solidarity.The photo was like a Rorschach test: To some, it symbolized a grave injustice to girls' and women's sports.
For others, it represented a triumph for transgender acceptance and rights.Unfortunately, no robust conversation is taking place between the two sides, because one of the sides is refusing to even debate this important issue.
Too many activists on the Left have adopted a "no debate" mentality. This is not only undemocratic, but it is unhealthy for the movement for trans rights.
