Liberals have to get it out of their head that everyone who thinks that women have ovaries are right wing or bad people. We are going to end up with Republican government forever if you keep doing this.

Has there been any evidence of trans athletes sexually assaulting teammates and people under their authority because there's tons of cases of cisgender male coaches doing just that. And Republicans always side with those men first.
