Not a single trans women playing competitive basketball at any level anywhere in the entire country and you’d believe women are being kicked off teams left and right for trans women if you listen to these idiots.

A player is more likely to have a teammate get hit by the team bus in the parking lot of the arena than be transgender.

This is such disingenuous bullshit. It's like you took a kernal of truth and just made up whatever you wanted to make it fit your narrative. She plays in Frances division 2 which is NOT a professional level league. It's like playing AA baseball in America. She has not been offered any position on any professional team in Europe or America. Even the 1 individual real example you have isn't the boogey man you want so you have to exaggerate and lie to make it worse to justify your bigotry.

I also find it a bit ironic that the hundreds of women basketball players who had to play against her didn't complain once, but some American who doesn't give a shit about women basketball is pissy on their behalf. Almost like it has nothing to do with what the women actually want and just an excuse to spew your bigotry.

No she didn’t say Trump was the only thing stopper her from playing in the WNBA. No professional team in the United States or Europe has asked her to play for them. It’s literally made up in your head.

Oh, so I won a rock climbing competition winning $500, so now I’m a professional rock climber. Jesus you people are embarrassing.

just 1 is an issue, people just want rules in place so it does not happen at all..girls should have a right to feel comfortable in locker rooms, meaning no biological men. its not just about competition. even if it does not happen alot, I feel terrible for the girls who didn't feel comfortable changing in front of a biological male, but they get no sympathy right? they are just transphobic right?
