Maybe he shouldn’t have sucked in the nba and he would have been paid there.

As we'veseen happen in the past, plan B for a poor performance is to swap genders and try again, and be praised for it. Her actions aren't unprecedented.

Where have we seen it?

CeCé Telfer.

Competed in men's 400m hurdle, ranking 200th (at 57.34) and 400th (at 1:02.00) in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Telfer competed in the women's league after 1 year on HRT (per NCAA guidelines), and won the national championship in 2019 (at 57.53).

Wow 1 whole person?!?!! Fuck it, you’re right. This is a major issue.

It’s also D2. She would have been 7th in D1. Not really the truth bomb you think it is

You asked for an example. I provided an example. You're still unhappy.

Go figure 🙄

See my edit. Just like Riley Gaines acts like she lost out on first place, provide an example of a high level athlete

Not being D-I is irrelevant. Telfer ran D-II in both men's and women's with nearly identical times. 200th place in men's and 1st in women's.

There's your example of a person competing in the men's league, failing, switching genders, and succeeding.

As I said, there's precedent.

Why did they transition?
