“If LeBron James got a sex change today, should he be allowed to play for the WNBA and score 800 points per game?”

If LeBron James got on HRT, then he wouldn't play like pre-transition LeBron James because that's like the opposite of taking steroids. Also, isn't Dave Chappelle the guy who had a whole anti-woke special and had Musk on his show?

The billionaires are happy we’re arguing about this, instead of talking about taxing the wealth they did not earn and do not deserve.

Yes. Only a small fraction of people is trans and only a small fraction of that compete in sports. What's even there to argue about?

What if he didn't start HRT but found out he was trans now, like a lot of trans people I've had the chance to talk with. Would it be fair for him (her in that case) to compete in the WBNA, in your opinion?
