They just can’t report it honestly. Not ever.
Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has made headlines this week as she spoke out against transgender women in women’s sports. While her comments have been met with a lot of criticism, she has received some support from a high-profile author who has similarly criticized transgender people.
It’s not about “criticizing trans people”. It’s about objecting to men invading women’s sports.
In an ESPN article last week, Cunningham was asked about her political beliefs and the “MAGA Barbie” nickname she has recently been given. While Cunningham says that label is a projection, given that she is a white girl from Missouri, she did go on to speak out on how to “protect women’s sports.”
No scare quotes on “that label is a projection” or “a white girl from Missouri”; only on “protect women’s sports.” Funny how that works.
Later in the week, Cunningham was given the opportunity to address the comments, ahead of a game against the Connecticut Sun. During that interview, Cunningham doubled down on her statement.
Oh no, really? You mean she failed to withdraw it? How shocking.
Cunningham was asked if she thought her comments could be viewed as derogatory toward trans athletes. She responded, saying that she does not “dislike anyone” and there is “room to love everyone.” However, she wasn’t backing down from her opinion.
How dare she!
While not everyone has been pleased with Cunningham’s political stand, Rowling did come to her support with a post on X.
The Harry Potter author, who has a history of speaking out against transgender rights, praised Cunningham for “standing up for women and girls everywhere.”
That’s just a lie. JKR doesn’t “speak out against transgender rights”. She doesn’t think or say that trans people should not have rights. The problem is that there are new claimed rights that are not rights at all, and that are destructive of women’s rights. Men who call themselves women don’t have any right to help themselves to everything that belongs to women.
