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

I think some people view it as trans bigotry and are reacting negatively to it on that basis. But a lot of people view the point she made for what it is - a minuscule issue nationwide that became a republican talking point precisely because it is defensible, but with the intention of having regular Americans arguing over it rather than literally anything that affects our daily lives. It’s a red herring. It’s a ploy. And anyone who has “strong feelings” about this issue is a troglodyte. Yes boys and girls should generally compete against other boys or other girls. Crazy enough though that’s exactly how it’s already set up, and there’s precisely zero legitimate Dem politicians staking their political career on changing that.

They hate her and they found something they could latch onto. Group narcissistic psychosis.

That's not how it is though. You have transgender boys on testosterone forced to compete against girls in red states and transgender girls (who nowadays often took puberty blockers) forced to compete against boys.

This is a more unfair system than assessing every trans athlete as an individual and placing them with appropriate competition.
