I’m all about equal rights and have no issue with trans. Scientifically speaking we are talking here about clear biological advantage. So if inclusion means excluding others, and potentially creating safety risks in some sports, im not good with that. And it’s hurting the cause to advocate for something like this way more than it’s helping to advance it. [Reply]

So should a male be allowed to compete against females? [Reply]

Yeah, years or hormone therapy makes a big difference when they are younger, but I think it's sick stuff to just allow kids to do that to themselves on a whim, when we all know how stupid kids can be.
Hard to believe anyone would be in favor of men competing against women. Absolutely asinine. This franchise dude is either trans or has no daughters [Reply]

I don’t agree with the coach’s comment (truthfully I don’t think she was being genuine either) and yet I’d never say she “threw EVERY woman athlete under the bus” lol it’s the type of ridiculously dramatic speech that makes Twitter a cesspool
Staley blocking a journalist who is trying to protect women's athletics shows her comments were genuine.
She may not want random people Tweeting their opinion at her all day. Or maybe she doesn’t want random journalists trying to gain clout off of her wave.
EDIT: Difficult to judge any of this without showing the original Tweet that this dude is crying about getting blocked for anyway. For all we know he could have been a total dick. [Reply]
She meant what she said, watching her weigh the blow back in her mind on the follow up was entertaining. I'm not sure her stance was a big secret, but getting put on the spot during the final 4 was an interesting way of getting it out there.
The players who will refuse to play for her probably weren't all that interested in playing for her in the first place though, so it probably won't matter. [Reply]
