Your hood: pros and cons

Two New Hampshire fathers, Kyle Fellers and Anthony Foote, were prevented from attending school events after wearing pink wristbands that had an "XX" label on them. That XX label was meant to represent female chromosomes, part of a much larger campaign across the country to protect women's sports and women's spaces from biological males.



Those fathers said in a court hearing Thursday that by wearing the wristbands, they weren't trying to harass or target a male transgender soccer player playing against their daughters' team, but instead showing support for their girls and teammates. And U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe didn't seem to like that explanation.



"Sometimes the message you think you’re sending might not be the message that is being sent," he said. McAullife then proceeded to ask Foote whether he'd thought that a transgender athlete might view the pink XX wristbands as trying to invalidate their existence, per the Associated Press.



"If he’s a trans female, pink might be a color he likes," Foote said.
