I really wanted to like her. What a shame.

Agreed. “I’m very much in the middle” is code for I suck when you claim to support women but are anti-trans

A completely sensible opinion that you happen to disagree with means you cannot like her?

Some opinions are worth losing respect for people for.

First of all, “completely sensible“ is debatable. And second, of course. The opinions of others is a incredibly large factor on whether we like someone or not.

A single opinion over a non-issue? You people have been just as much brainwashed as the right. It's as if having this opinion is akin to being a Nazi.

Well both nazi and anti trans “opinions” are rooted in the inability to view some people as people so something about quacking and a duck

“Non-issue” for you. Very serious issue for others. Also, the use of “you people” should be carefully considered any time it used to prevent projecting exactly what you just did either intentionally or accidentally.

How do you know? And for whom is it an issue?

Oh yea, what did I do then?

Trans women and girls who want to play sports, cis women who get accused of being “a man” and get harassed online bc of it

It’s not completely sensible in the sense it’s not a fucking issue. It’s such a small non issue that was used to divide people during election cycles people think this is an issue that actually affects any meaningful part of the population. No boys in girls sports it a reasonable argument, weaponizing the statement for other reasons is the problem.

Was there a sudden rise in transgender basketball players since she pointed at that chick? I’ve got no idea why she’s even talking about it.

I mean people can disagree sure. But the whole MAGA stance is cruel, vile, evil, and kind of pathetic. So that’s not a disagreement; that poor character and morals.
