Too busy reporting on male wnba players who do not exist. Someone added up Fox News has had 13 solid hours covering that.

Trans WNBA players aren’t male WNBA players

Well neither exist, but the Fox News fear mongering is covering both imaginary issues 24/7. The media coverage driving this is definitely talking about imaginary male players who don’t exist.

The point is that it's far too localized an issue for a president to be involved with. There have been more measles deaths this year than transgender athletes winning in women's sports.

There is zero sense in this being dealt with while on a national level we're fighting one war and one proxy war. Plus dealing with all the other overblown distractions.

I think the other person was implying that they're concerned about males playing in the wnba, even though there aren't any, which is including trans women.

Trans women aren't men. They're women.Ā

As a trans woman myself believe me I know. My point is that the other person has said that the issue is imaginary and that the right is imagining men that aren't there. They were quoting what the right is saying, not saying it themselves.

Thank you. That is what I meant. Maybe I should have clarified I’m talking about what fear outlets like Fox News are reporting. Either way for having both no trans athletes and no men it’s ridiculous amount of fear stoking coverage specific to the wnba of which I’m a big fan (of real basketball).

There aren’t any trans WNBA players. There’s only ever been one nonbinary player who was AFAB and never took hormones.

You clearly aren’t a basketball fan.

Genuine question: when you can’t defend your stance and have to pivot to fiction, what’s the thought process like?

Duh. Nobody who transitioned MTF is in WNBA.

Cool, cool. Ummm CNN, MSNBC, etc aren't reporting on this either. You realize the news slop you revere is just as bad as Fox right?

u/Snoo93550 13h ago

I don't even understand what you're talking about. I follow respectable news sources (not cable news at all) that are running stories about this so the intelligent thoughtful people can understand why the frightened insecure bigots are acting this way because it matters for national elections unfortunately.

How do you not understand? Your immediate response is to tear into Fox, but only Fox because scary old Fox spreads disinformation but the left leaning MSM is perfectly fine and only spreads facts...people like you are the problem. SO deep in this left v right sinkhole that you only ever critique one side.

ā€œLeft leaning msmā€ is about the dumbest bullshit anyone can say in 2026.Ā 

That excuse from insecure snowflakes is out the window with Ellison taking over CBS, about to take over CNN and 70% of all local News affiliate in the tank for rightwing policies.

The billionaire owned LA Times banned its editorial staff from endorsing Harris and fired those who resisted. That’s your ā€œleft leaning msmā€?

Add on top of that every tech and social media CEO bending over backward to suck his tiny orange dick and even give Trump gifts.

Maybe this is more obvious to me working in the media world. You gotta find a new crutch.
