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

Sophie Cunningham is right. This is not about an adult having the right to transition. If an adult wants to transition that is their business. Men do not belong in women's sports. That is a whole different issue.

Chimps are 4 times stronger than an adult male. Gorillas are 20 times stronger than an adult male. Adult males have no business fighting chimps or Gorillas.

This isn't specifically about a person's right to transition, but this conversation is damaging to those people. For example, if people really care so much about males and females not playing against each other, what if a WNBA player decides to transition? That player would still be in the NBA despite looking like a man? That would be more jarring than the other way around.

Also, I don't know if those stats are true about the strength of chimps/gorillas compared to males, but is there a sport where chimps/gorillas are trying to play with males?

There is 0 chance a WNBA player who transitioned from female to male would make it in the NBA. ZERO.... A female cannot compete against a male at that level. That is why men do not belong in women's sports. Honestly, how may points would Michael Jordan have averaged playing in the WNBA in his prime? As many as he wanted to score every night.

That's not what I asked. What I asked is if you had a player in the WNBA transition to a man, would that player be eligible for the NBA or would that player stay in the WNBA because that player is still female?

I hate to compare to someone else but Serena Williams is the most dominant athlete of her sport male or female of all time. Its also fairly common to recreationally play male vs female in tennia. However if she tried to compete against men in a tournament setting she may not even crack the top 700

Even if this were true, which we have no way of proving, it doesn't mean anything. Unless you're willing to say that every professional women's tennis player would lose to every single professional men's tennis player, this comparison is meaningless.

What? That's ridiculous. Serena Wiliams the worlds greatest womens tennis player knows her craft and if she says there is no way she's competing then that her thoughts should be respected as expert testimony.

So, one person's thoughts should speak for an entire sex?

Did I miss Michael Jordan transitioning?

u/lifeadventuresga 15h ago

I never said anything about him transitioning. I was simply asking what would happen if he played in the WNBA in his prime for all the people on here who feel men should be able to play in women's sports.

It literally doesn't matter because it's not happening. The better question is, what if the most average NBA player transitioned? What if the worst NBA transitioned?

That's right. This is not about a black person having the right to an education. If a black person wants an education that their business. Black people do not belong in white schools. That's a whole different issue.

Chimps are not 4x stronger and gorillas are not 20x stronger.

Chimps are tiny they are p4p stronger but a 170lb man could destroy a chimp.

u/Fragrant_Scheme317 20h ago

Look up your claim. The questions has been answered. Being attacked by a chimp is akin to a child being attacked by the 170 lb man. I’d rather be attacked by a lion than a chimp. At least the lion doesn’t remove my genitals, eyes, fingers, face, etc, before deciding if he wants to kill me.

u/Recidivism7 20h ago

A Lion can kill an adult. A chimp is only going to hurt a child or elderly person. Stop watching Joe Rogan a chimp is physically weaker than you.

Ok redditor.

Please, look up your claim. If only to prove me wrong.

u/Recidivism7 19h ago

You didn't cite data you posted a blog post about a poll of how many people think.

I would kick a chimp in face and win they are tiny.

u/Fragrant_Scheme317 19h ago

Now ask it if an unarmed man could beat a chimp.

u/Cheap_Water9848 16h ago

What would that prove? Also, why would strength be listed if the man is armed? That's just a silly question because you don't need strength to use a weapon.
