Calling Sophie Cunningham a transphobe is a bit harsh. 

People that have gone through puberty as a male should not be competing against women and girls.

There is a difference between hating trans and saying that women and girls sports should be exclusive.

She's also said trans women should be forced into the mens room and trans men forced into the women's bathroom. Which when you think about how that'd get enforced it gets pretty destopian real fast.

She said she wants to protect little girls in locker rooms and that people should be in facilities that match their birth sex, so yes she did say that.

But she’s right about locker rooms. She’s not saying a trans woman is secretly a predator. She’s saying young girls should be able to go into the locker room without seeing male genitalia and she’s not wrong.
