What even started this whole thing conservatives have with the WNBA? There’s never been a trans WNBA player. There’s not enough trans PEOPLE, let alone athletes, in the world for y’all to be this pressed about it constantly.Okay, I’ll answer: No, I am not in favor of the WNBA passing a trans-exclusion rule. Because it has never once come up, so passing one in the absence of any material reason to do so would amount to absolutely nothing. Wasting the league’s time. It would JUST be kowtowing to the right’s culture warriors, and nothing else.
as far as i remember, it largely started with sophie cunningham just randomly realizing her career was going nowhere and she needed somewhere to go afterwards, so the right wing grift was easy and natural to her. money with little effort, and she gets to target a minority. then enes kanter and royce white, both total bums, involve themselves. kanter i cant even fathom why (other than being a thorough asshole), royce white is actually running for senate i believe so its campaigning for him
i watch tennis and now the womens tennis (wta) has started to make pushes against trans women, and its supported by the #1 in the world atm. ive watched tennis for ~17 years now, and its crazy that there has never once been a story about trans people playing professionally, not even collegiate iirc. its a nonexistent issue, just a political statement attacking a minority group that wasnt involved. it sucks bc some players i thought would oppose it havent.
Yeah, the two benchwarmers, after this shit already made the news cycle over at Fox. Lord knows those guys can’t play basketball, so they gotta get publicity somehow. One of whom is actively running for office as a Republican, meaning it’s a literal campaign photo-op. And you’re falling for it. I really don’t WANT to think all conservatives are stupid, but fuck man.
