A Vermont state senator is defending her state’s move to ban a Christian high school from all state sports competitions because she says the school’s “dangerous” ideals are “discriminating” against transgender kids.
“I don’t think it’s a bridge too far,” White said. “The athletes that we’re talking about are unlikely to go on to elite professional athletics, but that concept of discriminating against another person, it causes long-term outcomes for trans youth because they’re hearing rhetoric that tells them they are not valuable, that they’re dangerous.”
“We’re an inclusive state, we’re a welcoming state,” White exclaimed. “So, it doesn’t surprise me that we’ve had a situation where folks are pushing back against some of that inclusive work that we’ve done. Because it is innovative, it is bold and it’s important.
