Blue states want trans athletes competing against females?

I don't find this video funny. Honestly, why does the Report support this type of trash?

Even Blue States Support Female Athletes

Voters back ballot measures that reject the Democrats’ most extreme orthodoxies.

No one should be tempted to take last week’s election results as an endorsement of the Democrats’ most extreme positions on social issues. Voters in four states were asked to decide last Tuesday whether males who call themselves “transgender” should be forbidden to compete in girls’ and women’s sports. The proposals passed in all four states—even as Democratic candidates won every statewide race in three of them.

In Arizona, where Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs was easily re-elected and her party took majorities in both legislative houses, Proposition 318 carried with nearly 59% voting “yes.” The referendum requires all schools to restrict participation in girls’ and women’s sports and to keep males out of private facilities such as locker rooms.

In Nebraska, 68% of voters approved Initiative Measure 442, a constitutional amendment locking sex-based athletic categories into the state constitution for school and college sports, by 36 points.

In increasingly liberal Colorado, where Democrat Phil Weiser won the governor’s race by nearly 30 points, Proposition 134, an initiative to require sex-based teams from kindergarten through college, passed with 52%. Protect Kids Colorado advanced that measure along with a companion proposal, Proposition 135, “prohibiting surgery on a minor for the purpose of altering the minor’s biological sex characteristics,” which also passed with 52%. This even though opponents of the measures outspent Protect Kids Colorado more than 18 to 1.

In Washington state, Initiative 638, to bar male students from girls’ interscholastic sports and require medical verification of sex, passed with 56% of the vote. This even though the National Education Association and its state affiliate contributed $650,000 to the No Hate in Washington State committee, which opposed the initiative.

These outcomes cut against the broader partisan tide. Yet when the questions involved fairness and safety in female athletics, or limits on irreversible medical procedures for children, majorities sided with biological reality even in states where Democrats usually win in bad years.

The pattern extends beyond sports and sex. Voter-identification requirements passed by substantial margins in three states where Democrats cleaned up: Ohio, North Carolina, and Nevada.

Ohio’s Issue 3, which enshrines photo identification for in-person voting in the state constitution, won with 65% of the vote. North Carolina’s constitutional amendment requiring photo identification for in-person and mail voting passed with a hair under 60%. Nevada’s Question 7, which requires photo identification in person and additional verification for mail ballots, passed with 62% support.

There are lessons here for both parties about issues on which public opinion is lopsided. Republicans campaigned on transgenderism to great effect in 2024, most famously by airing an ad declaring: “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.” Democrats were muted on the issue this year, and some even expressed heterodox positions—and it paid off.

With the Democrats less aggressive and unable to make federal policy, Republicans found the issue had lost much of its power. It’s much better to be on the right side of such issues, but that isn’t enough to win elections unless the other party cooperates by sabotaging itself.
