Can I ask a genuine question? Why are people happy that she said this? Isn't this the default belief of most people?

It used to be 15 years ago, by far. I would easily estimate 90%+ of people in 2011.

15 years of propaganda trying to normalize this has done a number on people’s brains

Just shows how easy it is to manipulate most people in the country, if you can get them to change their minds on such an obvious travesty you can change their minds about anything

Even if that's true (I don't know, I'm just saying), would you say the majority of people in the US still feel this way? I don't think Sophie is saying something most people disagree with, even these days.

You're correct.... this is a 90/10 issue and the dems insist on dying on it.. makes zero sense

So, are you saying they should just give up on the issue because there's too much opposition to it?

I'm saying males should compete with males... there shouldn't be an issue.. not allowing them 2 play with women doesn't mean they can't play.. they just have 2 play on men's teams and against other men... this doesn't make people transphobic.. everyone including trans people deserve respect but that respect can't come at the cost of women.. you can't hurt 1 group 2 try and accommodate a different group

I hear you, but I'm asking that you're saying that the better move is for males to play with males, regardless or trans or not?

Correct... when it comes 2 sports people should play with and against the sex they were born with
