What Prop 318 would actually do

Arizona already restricts trans girls from competing on female school sports teams. Prop 318 would mirror that restriction for trans boys on male teams, then go much further. It would apply the same rules to every school in the state, public and private, and it would ban trans students and employees from using bathrooms, locker rooms, shower rooms, and any other private space that does not match their birth certificate sex. It would also, as the ACLU of Arizona's Darrell Hill pointed out, apply to spectators at sporting events. Not athletes. Spectators. People who turned up to watch a game.

That last detail tells you something about what this measure is really trying to do. This is not a narrow rule about elite competition. It is a piece of legislation that would reach into the most ordinary moments of a trans person's day, the school corridor, the changing room before PE, the toilets at a Saturday afternoon match, and make every one of them a legal question.

Arizona's where white people go to die. I'm sorry for all of our fellow citizens stuck there —no matter their identity. 😟
