That is such a fucking braindead ignorant take. Everyone LIKES genetic freaks in sports. Michael Phelps has longer arms and a greater lung capacity than most men. Should he be disqualified for having an advantage?
No one, and I mean NO ONE is asking to allow someone who just yesterday started identifying differently to suddenly compete in a different league. Dave Chappelle is a disconnected piece of shit who forgot half the jokes that made him famous in the first place.
He made fun of structural inequality and governments playing favorites. Now he wants the same shit over trans people?! Fuck him, and fuck anyone dumb enough that they cannot see the two-faced takes he espouses these days.
If LeBron James got on HRT, then he wouldn't play like pre-transition LeBron James because that's like the opposite of taking steroids. Also, isn't Dave Chappelle the guy who had a whole anti-woke special and had Musk on his show?
Yes. Only a small fraction of people is trans and only a small fraction of that compete in sports. What's even there to argue about?
What if he didn't start HRT but found out he was trans now, like a lot of trans people I've had the chance to talk with. Would it be fair for him (her in that case) to compete in the WBNA, in your opinion?
Leftist or not, transphobia is transphobia.
This is such a dumb take. LeBron James makes about $50 million a year. The highest WNBA salary is about $250,000. Rookie NBA players make about a million a year. Absolutely none of them would give up that just to score "800 points a game".
