If LeBron James got on HRT, then he wouldn't play like pre-transition LeBron James because that's like the opposite of taking steroids. Also, isn't Dave Chappelle the guy who had a whole anti-woke special and had Musk on his show?
Yes. Only a small fraction of people is trans and only a small fraction of that compete in sports. What's even there to argue about?
What if he didn't start HRT but found out he was trans now, like a lot of trans people I've had the chance to talk with. Would it be fair for him (her in that case) to compete in the WBNA, in your opinion?
Leftist or not, transphobia is transphobia.
This is such a dumb take. LeBron James makes about $50 million a year. The highest WNBA salary is about $250,000. Rookie NBA players make about a million a year. Absolutely none of them would give up that just to score "800 points a game".
