Graham Platner says that billionaires are responsible for the trans in sports issue: “I was a captain of my high school wrestling team in 2003. I wrestled girls. Nobody cared. There was no uproar. We had girls wrestling in boys wrestling, or vice versa, 20-plus years ago. There was a girl on our high school football team. Nobody cared. I’m sorry—I cannot take it seriously.”
What? Twenty years ago his high school had co-ed wrestling, and nobody thought this was strange until billionaires came along?
Even if this were true, the question is whether biological males can compete in girls’ sports. He’s talking about women competing with males.
What a bizarre answer. Something about this guy just isn’t right.
