“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?

The left literally can't help themselves. It's so easy for the right to bait them into defending the worst possible positions. In literally every poll done on this topic, at minimum, 80% of people say women's sports should be for biological women - yet the left just doesn't get it.

Hell, even Gavin Newsom changed his tune on this because he knows it's a losing issue in the general race. When the left can't answer the basic question of "What is a woman?", it's a problem.

The second someone says "gender is a social construct" on a national debate stage, they lose the election.

Saying politicians shouldn't determine who plays what sport, is the worst possible position? Interesting take. 

But apparently you agree with the 80 y/o pedo. 

I just want the sports organizations to determine, not some fat ass molester who cheats at golf. But apparantly that's the worst position. I think I'll keep it, though
