Did you mean to use “normative”, or is there another word I’m not aware of?

Yes, that’s what I meant… I think… now rethinks entire adult life

Which is incredibly dumb. Yes, upper-body strength can help with sweeping, but it’s also a game of precision and control. Take away sweeping (like in wheelchair or stick curling) and any gender-based advantage disappears.
Now I want to see an all-trans team at the Scotties or the Brier. I want to live in that world. A world where five (yes, including the spare) ladies or gents can raise their brooms in pride and no one cares about the bits under their clothes.

The other side of that idea is that if rights get taken away from vulnerable groups, that means that the rights of everyone else is also threatened. There is no downside to making the world kinder, more accessible, more just, and easier to navigate for everyone. Improving the lives of some improves the lives of all.

Yup. The “rising tide” pushes, it doesn’t pull. That’s what people fuck up when they think about it. They think somehow that because it raises a yacht, the dinghy comes with.
Nope, it’s because the tide that floats the dinghy raises the yacht at the same time. If it came from above, the dinghies would be swamped and destroyed.

But only girls. The layers of fucked-upedness on this one could make a lasagna look like a single, bare noodle.

This seems doomed to fail in practice if it passes. Just dispute everyone, at every game. Boys and girls, every sport. If they refuse to check everyone, then they can’t justify checking anyone.
ETA: And then it runs afoul of Title IX protections (if it didn’t already) and can be shot down by the 9th Circuit Court.

Yeah, this could not possibly be used as a tool of harassment or other fucked up fuckery. No chance at all, right?
