Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-TX, included individuals concerned about excluding trans athletes from women’s and girls’ sports in her list of targets for criticism.
During an interview with The 19th last week, Crockett labeled discussions about trans inclusion in women’s and girls’ sports as a “distraction,” downplaying the potential impact they may have on the lives of women and families.
