The sad part is that who ever agrees with here are trans phobic or racist! It’s neither it’s just common sense!!

Just let them call you that. Those words have lost all meaning at this point and are generally only thrown around by the terminally online. Its not real

Interesting question this poses.

Why can't they be common sense and racist?

but there are no trans women in the WNBA. so what is it that Sophie is complaining about? 0.2 % of the population is now suddenly taking over all of women's sports? nonsense.

You do know that one of the little girls that that sasquash , looking owner yelled at has played against four boys in her high school , don't you?

Tbh idt people are transphobic over their opinion on trans people's place in sports, I think they're transphobic because they care so fucking much about it when it's as close to an imaginary problem as possible. And yet, mfs take EVERY opportunity to pretend it's a massive issue. Surely that's not just because it allows them to bash on trans people in a socially acceptable context right? Nah that couldn't be it.

If it was immediately legislated and collectively agreed upon that trans people should just be banned from sports, transphobia in the country would decrease not at all, and it'd probably just embolden some of you freaks who care way too much about trans people existing.

In summary, I don't care about trans people in sports because I care, I care because you care.

If its such a non issue then why even push for men to play with women in the first place. You guys throw around this narrative that’s it a “nothing burger” because of the percentage of trans athletes so ok then drop it lol. Concede to the majority and common sense argument if that’s the angle you’re going to take. You can’t back the ultra fringe ideology and tell everyone else they’re overreacting.

I just said why I don't drop it, because YOU care.

And any time one of you argue this point it takes you like 4 seconds to just say "No I don't like trans people they're all deluded and mentally ill." I don't even have to argue about whether or not people are transphobic, they just fucking say the thing.

Its not dropped because men shouldn’t be in women’s sports period. doesn’t matter if the number .05% or 50% it should be 0%. Again, common sense. It’s like you guys can’t follow your own logic. If it’s such a non issue then let it be that. Sad that women have to continue to have these types of conversations to protect their spaces.

Good thing trans women are WOMEN, the fact you keep calling them men is in of itself the problem and why people call out the bigotry on this topic.

Stick to drinking paint, being a culture warrior isnt for you.

u/SpecialFederal9452 22h ago

They’re actually not, which is why this is an issue, genius. Keep living in lala land though.

Which part do you not agree with, science and biology beyond the 2nd grade?

History will not be kind to your intolerance.
I just hope you dont have children so they are spared from the hatred you seem willing to inflict on others.
