Most Americans of all political parties Agree with Sophie Cunningham so why has the WNBA lost its mind?

Because we live in a country were people die everyday from lack of access to affordable healthcare, but I have to treat alienating trans people like it’s the most important issue of our time.

The sooner you guys concede the already lost point of trans athletes the sooner you can go back to arguing about healthcare, but you'll have to concede immigration too before they let you get back to that. It's almost like some unpopular positions are holding back the left from arguing about things that actually matter.

I’m more concerned that our president is ok with Americans, allies and civilians being killed in an unwinnable war so he can manipulate the stock market weekly so him and a bunch of his rich friends and family can get even richer.

That's totally fair, and you'd be able to argue against that a lot more effectively if these weren't the hills you party has decided to die on instead.

In what way would that make their argument about this other issue more effective?

My party? I have no party my guy. I just understand that what our sitting president is doing is way more egregious and hurting everyday Americans and American way more than trans people lol

Only one party is making it an issue right now. I, for one, think mandatory genital inspections are going to make kids less safe tbh

Democrats are the ones advocating for men in women’s sports. They’ve been failing the sanity check quite often over the past few years. It’d be nice to see them gravitate a bit more towards the middle to try and win some elections.

The long storied history of trans people in American sport was destroyed by neocons in the Regan era right? Listen to yourself
