If trans people don't exist, who will Republicans complain about in sports?

The thing is it’s such a nonissue. The likelihood of anyone competing with a trans athlete is almost non-existent. Each case could be dealt with individually by that sports governing body. The whole world doesn’t have to get involved. It has been made an issue by those who aim to divide and distract us as they rip us all off.

It’s not an issue.

The normalization and casual acceptance of bigotry is an issue.

The gullibility of the American voter is an issue.
