This debate will never be productive because parents have a legitimate concern about keeping girls safe. There is a long established reason for having male/female sports, spaces and activities.

Calling everyone who is concerned for their kids safety a transphobic bigot does absolutely nothing to deal with anyone's concerns.

Imagine if they made a girl play on the boys soccer team. We would all call that out as wrong because there is a reason we have male/female sports (size, power, safety). It is asking a lot of people to just toss out all of their beliefs about sex without any discussion.

That said, for a cop he needs to be a neutral authority figure and shouldn't weigh in on social issues publically.

edit: the fact that people only downvote and try to attack me personally only proves my point more. Nobody has a coherent response to the idea that there is a positive value to male/female only spaces.

He clearly didn’t. Otherwise he might be surprised with how many cops do beat their wives. But when it comes to things like reality or data or facts, people like this don’t want to hear it. They want to stay in their protected snowflake make believe land where they’re always right, despite the facts.
