Nobody said trans people shouldn’t exist. Nobody even came close to saying that. The subject is eligibility for women’s sports. Turning “women’s sports should remain a sex-based category” into “you don’t want trans people to exist” isn’t an argument - it’s a straw man designed to avoid having one.
And “there are no trans women in the WNBA” doesn’t settle the principle either. You don’t wait until an eligibility issue occurs at the highest professional level before deciding what the eligibility rules should be.
We always appreciate when biological men try to explain to us that they should be eligible to compete against biological women. 🙄
What it’s doing it exposing inconsistency and hypocrisy and I’m ok with that. This is what you’re promoting and now suddenly when faced with that reality, you take issue with it.
If you’re promoting biological men in biological women’s sports, then you should be supporting this too. This is the reality of what you’re advocating for and you should have a front row seat to it.
People promoting biological men in biological women’s sports have no regard for safety and fairness - so don’t pretend youre suddenly appalled now. You only have regard for how a person identifies and how long they’ve identified that way.
Regardless of how someone identifies, or how long they’ve identified that way, identity does not change biological sex or erase the physical differences associated with it.
Of course there are individual exceptions. Some women are stronger and faster than some men. Some women will absolutely outperform other women. But exceptions don’t erase population level differences: on average, males have substantial advantages in strength, power, speed and other physical attributes relevant to many sports.
That isn’t an insult, and it isn’t a judgment about anyone’s identity. It’s biology. Women’s sporting categories exist because those average biological differences matter.
I feel for the women who sweated their asses off to build this league and want to protect it.
NBA players aren’t mocking the trans community. They’re mocking those of you who are promoting biological men in biological women’s sports and giving you a front row seat to your hypocrisy. You’re the ones who asked for it, after all.
Get your popcorn ready.
#WNBA
JUST IN: WNBA Commissioner announces the league is meeting to review what a woman is, after multiple former NBA stars announced plans to join the league.
If you think MMR causes autism, you’re an antivaxxer. If you think Covid vaccines cause more harm than Covid, you’re an antivaxxer. You’re a spreader of disinformation.
“White Privilege” 🙄 Imagine if the reverse happened and Cunningham made the tweet. And her own coach didn’t even bother to call this shit out - she’s too caught up in trying not to trip in her ideology to ball.
The WNBA is a complete joke of a league. People want to watch these women kick ass on the court. Instead, it’s a race to the bottom to see who can come up with the most asinine take and make the most asinine calls, all politically motivated.
From having to meet to decide “what a woman is”, to targeted calls on Caitlin Clark to nonsense like this flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham, it’s wildly sickening.
WNBA player DiJonai Carrington blames “white privilege” after being ejected for a hard foul on Sophie Cunningham.
Carrington was given a Flagrant 2 foul and was immediately ejected.
She then apparently rushed to the locker room so she could blame “white privilege.”
@Derek14724463@evanderkane Ah, the official battle cry of a typical little man with nothing of substance to add. Did you think of this response all by yourself?
😆
It is with profound sadness the Edmonton Police Service Canine Unit announces the passing of Retired Police Service Dog Larry.
PSD Larry and his handler Sergeant Brian Parker attended over 1400 calls for service and were responsible for more than 130 arrests.
Prior to joining the unit, PSD Larry served as a patrol dog with the Medicine Hat Police Service. When his previous handler became a NHL referee, Larry, still young, ready to work and looking for a new home, found his place with Edmonton and the EPS.
In 2018, Sergeant Parker and PSD Larry competed in the Canadian Police Canine Association National Trials in Vancouver where Larry placed first overall in the Agility competition.
After the team retired in 2019, PSD Larry was able to enjoy a long retirement with his family.
Together, PSD Larry and Sergeant Parker served the Edmonton community with courage, integrity, resilience, and honor.
PSD Larry (2011-2026): Forever Watchful, Never Forgotten.
The squad… Martha is jealous of M. Y’all are dumb. Martha is worth over 400 million came out out of jail and still rebuilt her life. Your fave got a title and all she can manage to do is sell expired loose fruit spread.🤣🤣
Martha this week living her best life without a care in the world. From her Instagram.
What you’re saying is, the girls competing at that level - don’t matter.
News flash. Health, safety, and fairness take precendence 100% of the time and it doesn’t matter the age of the woman / girl or the level.
@GeraldoRivera Sure for elite sports. But, what about a weekend softball league. Perhaps the health and well-being of trans women take precedence over the fairness in the competition? 1/x
I don’t think this is “libs”. Anyone with common sense knows a biological male shouldn’t be competing against a biological female. Feelings do not have a part to play in this.
The idiots advocating for this with their every ideological breath are doing the trans community a disservice.
Have conversations around spaces and categories trans athletes can compete. Have conversations around puberty blockers and listen to the science on that.
There are massive gaps here and trans people are being left behind but the solution is NOT biological women’s sports, especially if they’ve gone through puberty as a male.
I hope more biological men who are identifying as a woman step up and take these hypocrites on.
All the WNBA had to do was say men should not be allowed to play in the WNBA and the Sophie Cunningham story would've lasted one day.
But they are so radicalized into wokeness that they couldn't help themselves and now they're the laughing stock of the sports world
How so?
You’re actively supporting biological men in biological women’s sports. You don’t think biological men have an advantage, and you don’t think it’s a safety issue, so what’s the problem? 🤷🏻♀️ You aren’t being a hypocrite are ya?
Are you one of those folks, who instead of advocating for trans leagues and categories for competition, is more caught up in ideological talking points? “There’s only a few trans athletes…high school sports doesn’t matter…they won’t go pro…this is hate…it doesn’t matter…etc”
Roughly 122,000 trans athletes are competing at a high school level now. There is a reason there are men and women’s leagues.
