    Honestly, the media isn’t paying attention here, she has not said anything transphobic, try actually listening to and/or reading what she actually said.

    From what I have seen she has expressed concern about those that are born one gender playing sports as though they were born the other and the fairness of it to other competitors for example. This is not transphobic, this is a very valid point, as let’s be honest, with very few exceptions of people that are born with both genders, you are biologically born a male or a female. Like it or not, there are certain physical advantages and disadvantages to each gender, especially in something like sports. So to have someone who is biologically born male to be competing against females is problematic for the other female competitors who have trained to compete against females. If this is allowed, why should we even have different sports for different genders, let’s just combine them all together. Oh, right we separated them because it wasn’t fair to either gender to have them combined.

    Another place where there are issues are public restrooms, gyms and other single gender facilities. The issue isn’t with people who truly identify as the opposite gender, as they just want to go in and do their business and leave. The issue is that there are too many bad people out there that will use the ability to do this to attack, rape, etc. women or men (and yes, men do get abused too, we just don’t acknowledge it like we should) by pretending to be the opposite gender.

      This is all on you liberals. You are pushing the men can be women and women can be men and men can have babies issue. This is all yours Bert. I have never heard a conservative say there are 26 genders.

      1. Bert

        Wrong! I’m pushing if dogs want to be cats, that’s okay.

        That’s because conservatives are too busy calling the left groomers, while taking advantage of minors, try to have sexual relations with minors, bringing back child labor, and making sure they’re forced to have children even if the fetus shouldn’t be alive.
