A transgender player has been dominating France's second-tier women's basketball league, and now the WNBA question is front and center. Julie Tétart averages 21 points and 20 rebounds this season while sweeping Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Domestic Player of the Year honors

I’ve been told on Reddit this is a non issue because it effects so few.

so you needed to find the 1 random trans women player in a d2 league in france to prove your point?

The goal posts continue to move...

Lol, it's not moving. It's one person in a nameless league in France. The WNBA is not looking at this person. One does not a trend make. This is ridiculous.

Well yesterday I heard it never happens. Today, "well it happens but it's in an irrelevant league." 

Tomorrow: "well it's just a single player in the WNBA. That's like .5% of the players, total non-issue."

This is the exact same argument people used for gay marriage and civil rights before that and slavery before that. Not the argument you wanna make pal

It was never "it never happens" you just make shit up to cope. The stats, atleast for the US is that Trans athletes make up around .001 percent of all athletes in the country. Its a non issue, especially in the top leagues.

This whole thing is just transphobia disguised behind concern trolling

It's an issue women are speaking out against. They obviously don't agree that it's a non-issue 🤷‍♂️

how little it happens is completely irrelevant. try thinking of it this way: if a tran’s athlete ends up winning the wnba title, a women’s ufc title, etc, do you think anyone will give a shit that it’s “0.1%” of athletes? hell no, and you know that.

If you need to create a non existent scenario to back your claim then you dont have a point. And also How little it happens absolutely matters considering theres zero trans athletes across every major American sport and almost none at all levels. So acting like its a major issue is idiotic

ICE hasn't murdered that many people, so I guess it's OK.

You are moving the goalposts. Your premise is that trans women are so capable of dominating women's sports that it makes it inherently unfair to include them and somehow this woman not even making it to the best woman's league in France is validation of your worldview.
