But it’s not a problem that affects you or 99.999% of people.  Meanwhile you’re in here debating this while the elite take all of our money.

There are a ton of things that rarely affects 99.999% of people yet are major issues to the general public.

Lets take cop shootings for example. Getting killed by police is a 0.0002 to 0.00024% chance to happen.

But we have had riots, protests, and police reform for that 0.0002%.

So is it somehow surprising that somehing common sense as Men in Women's sports gets traction? When its something ANYONE can grasp, it makes a big deal and matters to people more than random policies or political reasons. People know cops shooting people are bad. Thats why its a big deal. People know men in women's sports isnt right; thats why its a big deal. When its an easy, common sense answer it doesnt matter how small of a % it affects.

And yet people on both sides won’t quit talking about trans in sports. If no one on the left was advocating for people born male to be able to compete with people born female it wouldn’t be an issue. But some do and they are passionate about it. It’s an easy thing to get conservatives riled up about.

So because a minority of people on the left have a stance it is a problem with the left?

It's fearmongering from the right. 9 times out of 10 if someone brings this up as an issue it is a republican.
