I dig Emma Vigeland. She’s got a good stance and mind. She used to be on TYT and got beef with them at some point, which was a loss for TYT, I think.
Her points here are salient. To paraphrase one point, she’s saying a voter my have the notion that a biologically born male transitioned to female might have a physical advantage in sports against biologically born females, and a voter may disapprove of that pairing in a match, but that stance doesn’t mean “I hate Trans people” not will it cause them to vote against trans rights. However, Schumer or Jeffries don’t have the nuance to understand that and drive the Democrats to push otherwise.

Something I’ve been thinking about:
Tall people have a biological advantage in certain sports, like basketball. Should they be banned?

Dutch people should be banned from playing basketball.

There are only two things I can’t stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other cultures. And The Dutch.

I was joking with my other comment, but in some sports they solved this by having people only compete with others in their (weight) class. If this wasn’t about appression, this would be the obvious proposal to abolish gendered sports.

dude it’s not controversial to acknowledge that women are physically outclassed by men. That’s why they have their own teams.
