'Save Girls Sports' shirts blasted as 'transphobic' by SF Chronicle culture critic: 'Next MAGA hat?'
Fox Business ^ | 1/03/24 | Alexander Hall

T-shirts defending girls’ sports were condemned in the San Francisco Chronicle as the "transphobic" contender for the next "MAGA hat."

SF Chronicle’s columnist and cultural critic Soleil Ho wrote an opinion piece lamenting the rise of what she calls "anti-trans activewear." The article, headlined, "Is this the next MAGA hat? Transphobic apparel is the new hotness," cited T-shirts reading "Save Girls’ Sports" and "It’s Common Sense. XX ≠ XY."

Two female cross-country athletes at a high school in Riverside, Calif., say they wore the shirts after a transgender athlete, who didn’t consistently attend practices or meet key varsity eligibility requirements, was placed on the varsity team, displacing one of them from her spot. Athletic department school officials allegedly forced the students to remove or conceal the shirts, claiming they created a "hostile" environment and comparing wearing these shirts to wearing a swastika in front of Jewish students.

The girls sued their school district for allegedly impeding on their First Amendment rights and Title IX violations.

Ho, formerly a producer of the "Racist Sandwich" podcast, argued that the controversy is a "sad, empty spectacle that demeans us all," claiming that science says sex and gender are a spectrum.

"On a basic level, not all cis women even have XX chromosomes, so these shirts make no sense. What are we even arguing about?" the SF Chronicle opinion columnist wrote. "Besides terrorizing Riverside’s trans community, one clear outcome this dust-up seems to be having is a whole lot of T-shirt sales."

"All of this led me to wonder — who and what are profiting from generating more interest in this decidedly unfabulous anti-trans couture?" she asked.

Ho then called out former Levi’s executive turned XX-XY Athletics founder Jennifer Sey, among others, who she said "has been quite vocal about the Riverside case...

I prefer the red hats that say “Relax Idiot. It’s Just A Red Hat”.

Trump should wait a year before banning it or congress king it up. Too many other issues and really:

Does it buy us anything? Never mind doing what’s right. Why can’t the women fight on their own behalf.

So what school district would ever violate the rules just for more glory in sports?

The cesspool is getting deeper, and exposing corruption all the way down.

Forget the trans, the "reporter" should be focusing on the district admin.

As Ho labels people as 'transphobic' he is labeling himself as 'factualphobic'...

There are biologically only two genders that cannot be transposed. Those who believe the opposite or attempt to defy that 'fact' are ill, mentally ill.

Coincidental to “Big Mike” appearing on the scene, societies have become overcome with accepting mental illness as a wonderful “lifestyle”. Coinky dink? I think not.

The only way for REAL females to fight it is to refuse to compete against dudes masquerading as females.

I mean why compete with them? We all know what the outcome will be.....especially in individual competitions.

That charge of a phobia is an old, worn tactic. It won’t work anymore. People are sick and tired of it.

I’m fine putting all queers back in the closet. This trans crap goes too far. Transphobic? More like disgusted.

And just think, someone like that a generation ago would have been gushing with praise if a girl wanted to play on a boy’s football or hockey team.

The pendulum has swung, and the left had better understand that the people are sick and tired of their woke crap! IF the left continue to attack the moral fabric of America, they will find out that they have set back their agenda decades instead of advancing it by force- America has had enough!
