Van Lathan, co-host of Higher Learning podcast, reacts to transphobic remarks by WNBA athlete Sophie Cunningham
"If you cannot gift trans people with visibility, humanity, and acceptance, could you at least gift them with silence? Could you at least shut the fu## up about it? Could you at least leave them the fu## alone?"
You guys are doing your victory lap on this shit, fucking up the country. You mean to tell me there are wars happening in the Middle East, food prices are crazy, like the environment is in the shitter, we can't eat lettuce without crap in our pants, all of this stuff, and you still picking on these people after all of this time?โ
Biggest issue: If you're being drafted, people are saying "we want you around for 4 years" & I can't imagine anybody wants Enes Kanter or Royce White around them for even 4 minutes.
We've seen this illustrated whenever Enes is near Turkey or Royce comes close to logic/reality.
ppl don't realize how isolating it is to grow up thinking and knowing that nobody around you likes or had a crush on u. I genuinely think that itโs not possible to find me pretty in that way and that I will never find someone. when someone gives me a compliment my first thought is that they are either making fun of me or lying.
We knew today was coming, but this decision scares me more than all the others. It is a direct line to Jim Crow. The Supreme Court wants minorities to shut up and sit down, and this decision will make certain we never get up again.
Only in the NFL can you try to kill your significant other with your car and still be able to play, but the line is drawn at putting in a same-game parlay.
A reminder that these are the people who donโt want their grandkids learning about this in school because they wouldnโt have a logical answer for why they did it.
