"Baseless Propaganda": Critics Slam ACLU For Claiming Biological Men Have No Advantage Over Women In Sports

Social media users criticized the American Civil Liberties Union for claiming Wednesday that biological men have no competitive advantage over women in sports.

“Attacks on trans youth in sports are showing up in dozens of state legislatures nationwide,” the ACLU tweeted. “These bans are discriminatory, harmful, and unscientific. Here’s why.”
