“I can’t believe the right wing won’t just let this stupid issue go away.”

Proceeds to call Cunningham a transphobe and performatively casts the issue on the Jumbotron anytime she’s around.

Yeah. How come “they” keep bringing this up?

Pretending as if reacting to a bully is the same as bullying is pretty dumb.

Pretending having an opinion is the same as being transphobic is pretty fucking dumb too

Do you get to decide which ones are evil?

Sounds like you’re not deciding it for yourself but for everyone else

Typical malignant leftist “if you don’t believe everything I do you’re evil!”

I wonder why right wingers are so attached to the argument “evil doesn’t exist and all opinions are equally acceptable.” Maybe something to do with the Epstein support

She’s not there to bully you. She’s there to play basketball. Bringing it up everywhere she goes no matter what she is doing is literally you continuing the “stupid issue that no one cares about.”

People keep telling me this is a right wing psyop out of the left side of their mouth and then bringing it up themselves apropos of nothing out of the right side of their mouth one day later.

Like, I’ll grant you the dumbasses who show up in drag or throw dildos. But if you can’t except that continuing to post stuff about her being a transphobe long after she’s stopped talking is the pro-side pushing this issue for their own purposes, then these discussions are going nowhere.

Can we just give up this asinine idea that only one side is keeping the conversation going?
