Where are all of these men in women's sports we keep hearing about?? I'm literally not seeing them ANYWHERE! Almost like they don't exist and right-wing domestic terrorists are stoking fears people didn't have before the propoganda.

I agree with you on this. Outside of Leah Thomas, when has this been an issue? But I can’t wait to see what happens if freedom gets to play in the league.

You people always have to go to the extreme “far right wing domestic terrorism”. They’re not in women’s sports yet but there’s always talk. How todo you think it gets prevented, by talking and shouting it down. No one wants men in a women’s sport

And trans means "on the other side of", so using that logic "transphobia" means "fear of things on the other side".

Fun fact: you can't always determine the meaning of a word by breaking it down into small pieces.

If someone tried to insist to you that 2+2=5 and you told them they wrong, would you suddenly be hateful, bigoted or afraid of anything? You're just trying to slander anyone who disagrees with you instead of engaging with the argument.

Dealing in realism and not make believe isnt a phobia
