  • So Royce White is threatening to sue the WNBA unless they let him play in the women’s league.

    And transphobes are cheering it on, saying it “highlights the absurdity of gender ideology” and “makes transpeople look like hypocrites for being mad about it.”

    But I’m not talking about them right now, I’m talking about a group of the right I found that legitimately wants him to compete.

    They actually claim it would make the WNBA fun to watch, that it would improve viewership and make the WNBA relevant. That it should be standard for all women’s teams to have one male player and for the game to revolve around him… and I was floored by this.

    They’re actually debating the merits of allowing cismale competitors into a woman-only game. When if we were talking about trans women, they’d be the first to point out the myth of the biological advantage (Note: According to Science, if you’ve been on hormone therapy for two years, you have no advantage… Except maybe height, but tall women exist so…), they’d scream “PLAY IN THE MEN’S LEAGUE!111”

    But when it’s a cisman joking about entering a woman’s league, suddenly they want a rational open-minded discussion on whether or not that would improve ratings.

    Their problem was never about “fairness”, it was about transpeople having public visibility at all.
