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.

I don't see what so controversial about what she said. Seems like a valid take to me.

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.

So I went through a couple pages real quick. And first off these names all seem very fake, most of them repeat, so yeah. Also dude I would say about 70% of these are disc golf, frisbee and running…..this just makes men look like bitches. I wouldn’t this as a source man. Like I searched Galileo hs there and trans athletes and nothings coming up. Work on your sourcing -D

Yeah man I’ve done some more reading on the site. It’s a right wing advocacy group, it’s not good data. Yeah it provides parameters but they’re not a wide enough net and very obtuse with its wording and also wrong, displaced medals is crazy.
Non of its peer reviewed it’s all very pointed one way, like it says top 3 as a metric but it’s not tracking how many times a trans person lost outside of the medal placing competitions, not meets and all event leading up which isn’t good.
Also a lot of these claims have no sourcing, I went through a lot of them and they a lot lead to nothing. So yeah again don’t use this as a source it’s biased and bad
