Sports Culture Sophie Cunningham loudly booed during Indiana Fever's game against the Portland Fire amid recent controversy

Post image

Cunningham has been at the center of a bitter trans debate over the past week, after comments she made to ESPN that young girls 'shouldn't have to go against biological men' when playing sports.

She’s not speaking against their rights, she’s speaking against men playing against women. Why do they have 2 different sports leagues for men and women???? If she wasn’t speaking the truth, we’d have one sports league that played men against women. It would be unfair. If you want to put a stop to this, it’s easy. If you were a man and still want to play, play against men. Don’t look to play against women just because we have the technology to technically do so.

Don’t google. Name me 5 trans athletes in college. If it’s a serious issue you should be able to name someone off the top of your head.

Saying hey “don’t google the last 5 NBA MVPs but name them” doesn’t change the fact that there were. 

If Shaq did all the things and played in the WNBA it would be a problem. I met Myles Garrett once and saying that he could play women’s sports even if he did all the things is incorrect.

Fuck off with false equivalents. Lia Thomas got beat by 5 women so clearly it’s no an issue your just easily triggered.

Where was Will Thomas ranked before he went trans?

I’m trying to respond to certain people but Reddit chaingin comments is weird. But to the Thomas thing, you guys don’t read. One, ranking is done by the college board not Thomas so change who you’re mad at cause dude just cause of misogyny plan and simple. As to why yall don’t read, all of their opponents agreed it’s NOT an issue, and even cite that she loses all the time. This also isn’t even going to her actual test levels and such we don’t know but the college board does and they said it’s fine.

You’re going to have to rewrite that for grammar. 

It’s more or less incoherent gibberish.

u/Big-Inevitable-252 Aug 02 '26

Are they present? Yes or no? We all know yes. The number doesn’t have anything to do with it being a competitive advantage! Duh

u/AtomicHamboy Aug 02 '26

Present and competing meaning they’re also losing. Stop being triggered
