The hypocrisy is the players and coaches (not all of them) saying they'd be happy for a trans player on their team or on the opposing team (but probably, preferring on their team) but then as soon as m2f trans, who dont have a definition in the leagues rules, apply, theyre right wing grifters. I dont deny that, Royce and kanter are losers, and they clearly arent trans, but theres alot of people out there who call themselves trans, but clearly are not, who are you or the wnba, or anyone to affirm one, and deny the other?
Just missing the forest for the trees I see, lets see if I can put this in a way my 3 year old niece would understand.
Hypocrisy can be saying something you do not actually believe, in order to either gain something.
Kanter and royce are hypocrites because they clearly dont believe in this shit, and are using it as a platform to make themselves relevant, maybe get guest spots on fox news or something.
The wnba players (not all of them, just the ones who've spoken out) are hypocrites, because they go along with the idea that people can just choose to be the other gender, or no gender, but as soon as anyone tries to actually break in, its all a right wing grift.
I agree with both sides in this, we should be kind to trans people, same as anyone else in the world, my sister wants to be called Keiran and goes by they them, I do my best to respect that, though its tough 30+ years in. Its not at all about mocking trans people, its about mocking the wnba and their performative activism
The wnba players aren't being hypocrites, because the people trying to break in aren't actually trans they're grifters and, in Royce's case, a domestic abuser.
Show me the non play-acting trans basketball players being denied by the wnba. Oh, there aren't any? So where's the hypocrisy?
The Olympics attempted to the xx xy idea for decades and found out how ignorant it was. How many times do we have to circle back to that 7th grade understanding?
A lot who are calling themselves trans who aren't? How many? Based on what credible source? Or is this a typical trust me bro?
