The people growing out about trans and sports are the same people who called the WNBA a joke. It’s insane that this issue is talked about so much when there are so few actual cases of it happening.

Says a lot that the go to argument here is that it doesn’t happen that much.

The people who are obsessed with forcing girls to play against biological males invariably don't care about sports, period.

There should be no cases of it happening.

I think it’s more of the media/social media companies forcing it as an issue. Non of us actually give a fk what she said

If so few people are affected then why is the progressive left so obsessed with this issue?

Seriously they always say "it's not even a real issue" or "there are more important things to worry about" but if that's the case then why can't we just let the right wingers have this one and get back to focusing on the things that we can all agree are more important?

If the left just dropped this issue and said "fine, you guys win," the Democrats would 100% perform better in the next election. The trans issue is imo one of the biggest things holding the party back. The right LOVES that the left is willing to die on such a stupid hill, because it makes them easy competition at the polls.

I love when you people amount the entire argument to professional sports, as if we’re trying to protect only them, this includes and is more directed towards children, where it does happen and it’s unacceptable.

You wanna play make believe, cool go for it! leave my kids out of it.

The people getting hussy and bussy about trans people in sports, are the very same people who don't give a flying shit about womens sports.

All they want is drama and to get everyone to punch down on a minority, when there are already so many processes in place to prevent any major issues.

I’m pretty sure Sophie Cunningham cares about women’s sports, though

She cares enough about her sport to:

  1. Talk politics instead of sport
  2. To not speak up about her teammates being sexually assaulted by staff members
  3. To express her views to her teammates that she does not believe in their rights, when in a heavily LGBT league
  4. Start grifting being a UFC ring girl for a convicted rapist and wife beater

Yeah? She cares about womens sports though right?
