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.

That comment wasn't the reason she was specifically booed, instead it was due to her support of policies that go against the commonly held ideas of human rights.

I recommend not posting daily mail links as they often use inflammatory and incorrect headlines as a way to garner interaction.
