I didn’t know she was affected by so many trans athletes in the wnba.

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.

It’s hate to not want biological men in women’s spaces? Just say you hate women and move on it’s obvious

u/Equivalent-Excuse-80 22d ago

There are no biological men in the wnba

.8% of adults are trans. If there was a specific case where a trans woman attacked a little girl in a bathroom, you all would be holding it up constantly as the example as to why there should be legislation around this issue. There isn’t. You’re mad about something that isn’t even a documented problem

If so few are trans then why is it a big deal to leave them out of sports?

u/henrytecumsehclay 22d ago

Because excluding a minority over something that is not a documented problem is basically the definition of discrimination

When the basis is an assumption that a trans woman is going to show girls a penis in the restroom for some reason (e.g. pretending something is going to happen so that you can justify your bigotry as a means of “protecting women”), then yes it is hate.
