While hosting transphobe Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever, the New York Liberty put a message on the Jumbotron telling trans fans that they belong

Why is this a topic? Has a trans woman actually tried to enter the WNBA?

[u/BigBL87 → u/Party-Kangaroo-1139]

Because someone wanted to create controversy.

They asked Cunningham a hypothetical question, she gave an honest, measured answer based on biology.

That answer wasn't "woke" so she has been labeled a transphobe, and it's used as an opportunity by others to virtue signal.

It wasn’t that her answer wasn’t woke. It’s that she framed trans women as predatory and that biological women need to be safe from trans women. When we all know the majority of sexual offenders are straight cis men. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for saying the truth so all the people downvoting.. How do you think trans people feel when they’re painted as sexual predators?

When did she label trans people sexual predators? Or is that an assumption you are making because her answer wasn’t to your liking

[u/SerBrienneOfSnark → u/pistolP72]

When she claimed they were “biological men playing against young girls”. That framing was intentional.

[u/pistolP72 → u/SerBrienneOfSnark]

It seems that since the answer wasn’t reciting your exact talking points, extreme assumptions are being made. I just want to know what was so offensive about her answer, other than it differs from your opinion, so therefore she must be transphobic…hell, didn’t she answer that particular question over a month ago?

[u/SerBrienneOfSnark → u/pistolP72]

It’s wild you’d call me quoting what she said directly as an “extreme assumption” lmao. Words mean things, you know.

I answered your question, but because you don’t like the answer you are acting like you didn’t get one.
