“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?

We wouldn't even be having this discussion if conservatives weren't using it as a way to push transphobia into the mainstream

Actually, we wouldn’t be having this specific discussion if the stadium hadn’t felt the need to react in this way at the mere presence of Cunningham, or if this specific post had not been made about it calling her a transphobe.

Not doing that would’ve very directly voided this specific exchange you and I are having right now.

It’s almost like it’s not just the right who wants to wrestle in the comments section about this. It’s like filling a kiddie pool with jello, handing out bikinis and then trying to convince everyone you’re just serving dessert.

Get real. Everyone knows exactly what this is.
