I don’t understand why people are complaining about a women’s world cup player being trans
It’s still a biological female, playing against other biological females, which is completley fair? Why does gender matter? I don’t think trans females should compete in female sports due to the physical advantages - it’s not fair on biological females. But there’s no difference here?
Also, imagine if this was a biological man coming out as trans. Would we start persuading them to go be a female footballer? No, since we know that’s unfair on females.
This whole incident just shows in sports that instead of having some acceptance of trans people in sports, we whine and complain saying they’re in the wrong category.

what I mean is that you act like you don’t like conservative voters as people, because you’re always so negative towards them.
conservatives usually just don't want trans people to exist
who is “conservatives” referring to there? if it’s for voters, that’s uncalled for and also a huge generalization.
i’m not tryna be mean with this. i’m probably misunderstanding you, so i just want to clear up any uncertainty
i dislike the ideology. i didn’t say that i hate all conservatives, but i strongly disagree with the ideology/movement. :)
that’s fair
based on my last comment, here is some data. According to Pew Research Center, 65% of conservative Republicans in the U.S. say acceptance of trans people is bad for society.
In these types of culture wars, politicians and the general conservative movement often incite these types of viewpoints in their supporters using scapegoats and straw men.
also, when i say conservatives, I’m mostly referring to politicians/corporations and the actual meaningful conservative groups that are perpetuating many of these viewpoints. however, in this case, i wouldn’t be too surprised if the majority of conservative voters agreed with the statement “trans people shouldn’t exist”.
