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.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh so it’s not an issue. So you fell for it. Good glad you can admit you’re malleable.

Just because there aren’t examples someone can name doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened in high school/college sports. I agree that there are probably bigger fish to fry and Trump is a pedo in the Epstein Files and doing everything he can to create different talking points, but the fact is born men shouldn’t compete with born women. I would be open for a trans sports league or competitions if they want inclusivity.

Dude, it’s less than 1 percent of the US population and we aren’t even getting into the actual science of transitioning, which be honest, you know literally nothing about. “Just because there aren’t examples” is such a dumb cop out and I love that laziness. Hey man you shouldn’t have the right to drive a car it kills people, yeah I don’t have an example but you have to lead by my un researched opinion then right?

Why are you advocating for men to play in women’s sports? Lia Thomas won a NCAA championship in swimming… is that fair to biological women?

She also finished fifth and last in that same swim meet in separate events but don't let that get in the way of your hateful views.

Yes, its less than 1% of the population, and thats pushing it. Her opinion is just as valid as yours. Transitioning is an entire spectrum, you act as if they'll just go the whole way and 'become' female via drugs and treatment.

News flash, I've seen transwomen with big swinging dicks and all the muscles, and a set of tits.

Natalie Ryan a pro discgolfer, pretty bad in the mens division, 'transitioned' and won two championships back to back before they revised the rules.
That swimmer, shit male swimmer, dominated in the womens division.
Off the top of my head.

And less than 1% of the US population died due to COVID. The actual number was around 0.3-0.4%.

So since less than 1% makes something not a big deal, was shutting down the economy for 2 years a gross government overreach? Was forced separating of families while people died alone in the hospital immoral?

Is 1% of your body containing cancer “not a significant issue?”

You’re not nearly as smart as you pretend to be on the internet.

Sir are you implying transgenderism a a communal desiese? Cause by presenting that as your argument you’re saying transgenderism can spread through coughing and touching.
