    I think you’re missing the point. Trans people are under attack in the US. Many are considering fleeing the country due to how unsafe they feel. Some are unable to get passports as easily as you or I, so they cannot just up and go. Which is why many are considering asylum, because there are places now in the US where they are considered criminals, felons, just for existing.

    Now out of all the topics this man can talk about, having an anti-trans bias is absolutely a choice he is making. I agree with you that the trans community has much bigger issues, and every breath we waste on who is playing kickball with who is time better spent discussing their real issues.

    What’s deeply unfair is trans people being shuffled into prisons, and the media is latching onto sports. Let this podcaster fade into irrelevence, as he isn’t helping the actual problems by muddying the waters with this.

        And I agreed to your point in the very comment you’re reaponding to. The only thing I’m disagreeing with is giving trans sports issues a platform over their right to exist. It’s a distraction and a waste of energy.
