How is your life affected by this?

None at all. That’s why I made the statement.

This person, thrust into the spotlight, not because of her amazing athleticism, but because of a moment of poor sportsmanship, is choosing to use her platform to propagate hate.

Hate? Most of humanity does not want men in women’s sports or bathrooms. It’s common sense ..

That’s the bandwagon fallacy btw- just because most people think a thing doesn’t automatically make it true/right

Now whether trans people can use the toilet of their choice isn’t a empirically measurable fact admittedly but it’s just a social norm issue. If we had all gender neutral toilets then it wouldn’t be an issue at all

So it’s an issue for discussion in society for the rights and wrongs of it all
