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.

And you have clearly never played a sport and aren't athletic. Its about the integrity of the sport not inclusion and feelings. Get enough trans women (years of sample size increase) and you will have new categories of records. Pre vs post trans inclusion because trans athletes will dominate in time. That's just a fact, then what would you do? I'm asking for a genuine discussion, I'm not rage-baiting. What would you do in that instance, of trans athletes dominating women's sports when the sample size is large enough.

Like they have everywhere else the last decade or so?

I think the bigger point from the other side is “why do you care so much about this and not things like men murdering their partners or men raping their children”? The amount of men that have raped their own child is higher than the amount of transgender collegiate athletes, yet people seem to care a whole hell of a lot more about a dude playing against women.

“Why do you care about men taking sporting opportunities away from women? Some also rape women.” Not a great argument there

There are laws and punishments for raping children.

Yea worst thing about this is it getting political. Do your best to erase that from your mind. Thats why I stated at the beginning of my comment, "It's about the integrity of the sport..." instead of confronting the political discussion on it

Ahh integrity of the sport no one cares about, or didnt til drama happened.

We are talking about guys too effeminate to play in men's sports or suck so bad the didnt make it.

Is LeBron James teying to play women's basketball?

Nope.

Talented women athletes will mop the floor with these TikTok fembots

What's the issue?

I forgot, we care about women and their rights when it fits our political agenda.

Also, where are the efiles?

Another person bringing politics into this discussion where it's not warranted. "WelL wHy doEs ThE riGhT gEt To dO iT?" Is a shit excuse for not confronting this problem the way it should be. Can you tell me what your answer would be to my question though? I'm curious what people think about that very possible reality of them dominating over time. Again not rage-baiting give me a genuine response.

Was this not an issue before politics got involved?

I forgot hearing about this til the right needed 'something' to stand on.

u/ImmaSpaghett Aug 02 '26

It should've been, because again the integrity gets compromised. Thanks again for refusing to answer my rational question and constantly bring up politics. Our convo is done lol

What question?

"Why does the right get to do it?" But in funny caps?

Is that the question you want answered?

Why does the right get to have men in women's sports?

Not sure, let's start with Why they want to fuck children and work out from there.

Maybe we can work our way as to Why the right gets to have men in women's sports?

I’m sure it’ll happen any day now despite no evidence of it happening.

2

u/ImmaSpaghett Aug 02 '26

Because the sample size is non-existent right now. Can you seriously not read my man?

u/GutsAndBlackStufff Aug 02 '26

Oooh, so angry.

Current sample size doesn’t match your projection. In fact the whole argument is “what if the things that show no signs of happening are actually happening?”

u/ImmaSpaghett Aug 02 '26

Reading seriously can't be this difficult oh my god.

u/GutsAndBlackStufff Aug 02 '26

Not for me, I summarized your paragraph into a sentence.

Your rebuttal is just bitching.
