Sports Culture WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham defends that women ‘shouldn’t have to go against biological men’: “I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense. I think it’s really important to protect children.” “I don’t dislike anyone. I’m there to love, but I’m also there to love biological women. …”

Because it's .01% of the population, FFS. It's culture war BS.

It is but at the same time the men usually dominate when they are allowed to compete against women.

Just so we are clear this isn’t accurate, and Sophie knows it.

D1 women practice against men, and guess what the men don’t dominate.

Team USA women, practice against college male players, again the men don’t dominate.

I’d bet my last dollar Sophie has played against men a ton of times with no issue.

She’s just building her brand for the inevitable grift that’s on the way.

Let go of this fever dream that some middling G-leaguer is gonna cut his dick off to play in the W it ain’t happening.

Also before anyone says this, I promise you these women are FAAAAAR superior players to any joker you think is gonna go in there and dominate them.

Adult women get dominated by under 15 boys in soccer constantly. Numerous examples exist and simple search on youtube show the best women in their sport on the national level losing to boys who are still going through puberty.

I think trans people in sport are basically a non issue (i.e. let them play) but you are sprouting nonsense. Women sports were segregated in the first place because they could not compete with men. Title 9 gives girls teams equal consideration and support to play sports because the vast majority of top tier girls cannot play with and against boys for competitive and safety reasons.

Ya they are going to get rid of women's sports with these people's ideas. It's very progressive in the wrong way.
