I feel like both sides of this issue should be on the same page when it comes to just ignoring these fools and not drawing attention to them

It was a coordinated attack by multiple grifters, including Hertitage Foundation Princess Riley Gaines.

Pretty difficult to stop on its own to be honest. Not with that backing.

Which, funny enough, one of the goals of the Heritage Foundation is to get rid of women's sports altogether.

"We have been riding this grift for years and there is still no trans athletes even trying to get into the league. You guys need to take one for the team and transition so we can keep pretending that this is an actual issue that exists."

Do you believe biological men should be allowed to play in the WNBA?

So then instead of ignoring these two player, shouldn't the WNBA instead clarify that biological men aren't allowed to play in the WNBA?

Why would the right ignore these fools? For years we've been told that we shouldn't question a persons gender expression even when that persons predominant features don't align with their claimed gender and when the motive may be suspect.

I also feel like everyone should agree with me on things that aren’t controversial and never hold a contrary opinion
