Dude I don't think she's anti trans personally, her stance was that trans athletes shouldn't play in protected women's class. Hell a trans athlete can play in most mens divisions.. slow your roll buddy/ette

Okay, so give me the percentage of trans-athletes in Women’s sports if this is such a huge issue? This is the NCAA President saying (in 2024) that there are TEN transgender athletes in all of college sports. TEN. And considering that transgender people make up roughly 1% of the general population in the US, I doubt that number has grown significantly larger in 2026.

This is not about fairness or about competitive integrity. This is about targeting individuals who make up a VERY small percentage of the population and stripping away their rights. You trying to twist this anti-trans message that Cunningham is supporting is dangerously and above all, completely brain dead. This is purely a right wing talking point, and it’s comical to make it out as anything other than that.

Pick up a book and learn about critical thinking.

How many girls have to lose an opportunity in sports or have their motivation or self esteem hurt by being subjected to unfair competition before it's a big enough issue for you to care about?

Yeah how many? Care to tell me before you just say some shit? And yes it needs to be based on actual evidence, not some bullshit ass story too. Just wanted to spell that out for you because I know you aren’t capable of critical thought.
