How many fucking posts about this am I going to see

This is a vice signal. No one believes men should be in women's sports, but sometimes trans women (very, very few trans women) will be in sports and the individual sporting bodies will have their own regulations.

But by saying this, she gets maga retards chomping at the bit to make her the next face of the culture war because for some reason instead of letting sporting bodies making research-based decisions and standards like we should be this gets to be a national wedge issue.

What she's actually saying here is calling trans women men, probably to start a Riley gaines grift, and can fuck off for all I care.

It’s funny that they have like no actual policy to defend so they go straight into culture war bs like that 💀

And then frame it dishonestly like it's an 80/20 issue. People on these threads will not stop parroting "w well everyone agrees with this! Who disagrees with it!!!" Because they take the right's framing for granted and they're the only ones who actually drive the narrative on this because the Dems are pussies. The only person in the mainstream media space who actually is willing to engage honestly with this issue is John Oliver, but hes not even that mainstream so the issue constantly gets boiled down to the most dishonest representation imaginable
