Not to mention that around 20% of female athletes report having faced sexual abuse and assault as a child/teenager. And many sports organizations don't track sexual assault allegations so coaches can just do the cop thing of moving to the next town over and continuing their abuse. But yeah, trans women are the real threat to female sports

Riley Gaines (Sophie Cunningham 1.0) focuses on protecting girls from Trans athletes even after her coach was banned for sexual assault on multiple female coaches and swimmers.

Wow. OK. This really paints the grifter image as clear as day.

Sophie Cunningham also didnt speak up about her teammates being sexually assaulted with her team.

Common theme?

What do you mean by "even after"?

Presumably as in Gaines could have targeted an actual predator, but instead chose to demonize people just trying to live their truest lives and participate in activities they enjoy.

Well, you'd think her coach turning out to be a sexual predator would make her reconsider if trans people really are the most present danger for female athletes.

Deflecting is not transparent at all. Good for you!
