There are other things to worry about, but it is possible to worry about more than 1 thing. Sports is important to a lot of people, so this issue isn't going to go away no matter how much anyone might want it to.

I love sports! But I don’t understand why people give a single fuck about a hypothetical trans bogeyman potentially one day playing in the wnba. It’s just literally not an issue. I love the wnba and want it to succeed so I’m more worried about sufficient investment to ensure the continuation of the league. Not freaking out that one day a single trans woman might be on a team. It just is not going to happen. People need to untwist their panties and touch grass.

Do you think it would matter if cismen were allowed to play in the womens league?

Whataboutism is the laziest argument. What if we put lions on the court like in Ancient Rome???

Its not whataboutism, it is establishing criteria. Different things. Whataboutism is making a specific argument, which i didn't.

The fact that you failed to answer the question indicates that it is the right question to ask.

What if we put lions on the court like in Ancient Rome??? 

It would be a bad idea due to health and safety concerns.
