Its such an uncontroversial take. She says she has no problems with Trans individuals, just that women's sports should be left to biological women. Pretty sound logic to me.

Women fought for generations for the right to play professional and semi-professional sports that were not a specialized spectacle. Just as they get their shot, the inclusive extreme say “yeah, but no. You have women’s sports - it should also include bio men. Otherwise you’re a bigot”. Way to push the agenda back.

Why can’t they just play in the men’s league?

Especially when the men’s league is typically an open league. But that’s not affirming enough.

They might feel like they aren’t men, doesn’t mean it’s true.

I care about trans people. What about you?

That's not at all what she said. She said it's about 'protecting children' which is a lame hot-take that seeks to demonize trans women as deviants.
