GOP senator makes inane claim that high school teams are made up completely of trans female athletes

Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) makes a bonkers claim that some high school teams are comprised solely of trans female athletes.

If some Americans were honest with themselves, they would admit that their negative views about trans female athletes are rooted in weird fears instead of reality.   An example of this is the following video below in which Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville (R) makes an incredibly inaccurate claim about trans female athletes:

Tuberville: "We're getting to a point now where women and girls sports and getting ready to be extinct. Because already in states across this country, we have high school teams that are made up of totally boys participating against girls." pic.twitter.com/3toOXcCtPF

It goes without saying - even though he was rightfully laughed at online - that Tuberville's assertion isn't true. 

And for a number of reasons. A main one, which is solely my opinion, is knowing the way folks go crazy about sports, if such teams of female trans athletes existed and they were winning, a lot of high schools AND parents would greet them with open arms. 

Just saying.
