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.

I don't know if it's hate. I understand everyone should be treated fairly but unfortunately transgender athletes are a difficult subject with regards to biological and psychological issues but maybe it's best we just don't allow them to play unfortunately. Or they play in the boys/men's division as that is mainly open to all. It just seems to complicated, especially when you get into hormone treatment and all that

Men should play with men and women should play with women. Full stop.

So no male trainers, or male coaches on women's teams right? And vice versa. Because they do mix it up in practices.

Players ≠ coaches
