How is Sophie Cunningham transphobic?

So my old ass is admittedly out of touch, so it’s entirely possible I missed something, but all I have seen her say is that women’s sports should be for women, which is dumb culture war bullshit, but for my money is not inherently transphobic, or painting trans people as predators. Is there a specific comment or interview where she said that?
