The new bill plans to restrict trans athletes from competing against women though Alberta can't say how many athletes will be affected.

“If just one trans child is harmed it will all be worth it”, says Alberta premier Danielle Smith.

Philosophically, restrictions on trans in sports is the one issue I will concede to conservatives.

That being said, we’ve got sooooo many other bigger problems to deal with. A government passing laws on transgenders in sports signifies a government that is more concerned with appearances and scoring cheap points than actually helping people.
