Just to address the P.S. as it’s been mentioned before not knowing the name Lia Thomas must mean you’re uninformed. It does not. One can forget a specific name of a person who caused a controversy, especially one that was a small ripple compared to other events in the news for longer periods. I’m sure I could post names of people who’ve hit the news that many wouldn’t know.
Small ripple. Come on, let's come clean here.
They're the 2nd most famous trans in the US after Kaitlyn Jenner and are the literal poster child for transwomen in womens sports.
....and they've been in pretty much every major publication short of Guns & Ammo.
Really good questions. This just didn’t suddenly explode organically. Who is pushing it and why? Also why are women who are supposedly feminists so supportive of it?

WHO is pushing this crap on us? Transgendered people are a tiny fraction of our society that has always been there and guess what they have quietly been using the bathrooms of their choosing and it has been odd but it has usually been under the radar.
Today we have people screaming and demanding that biological males that think they are females be allowed into bathrooms, locker rooms and into female sports at every level.
Who is championing for this fraction and demanding that the majority bow down to them?
Those responsible for this nonsense are members of the Left but what is odd is that these same people have been screaming about women's Rights for years.
Women deserve Equality. They also deserve to have some privacy in their bathrooms and locker rooms and showers.
We all know that when Laws are made there are loopholes that people will exploit. It is just plain wrong that a man can go into the ladies room and the women can be made to feel uncomfortable by this perverted lurker and there is nothing that can be done.
We are seeing an assault from the Left on our Kids and the Boys and Girls to accept this nonsense as normal. Why?
That poster didn’t know who Lia was nor did they know about what he did.
A simple Google search will tell you who a person is. Lots of people have heard of an event but don’t remember the person’s name. Doesn’t mean you can’t have an opinion.

I know. That person had to google but hadn’t heard of Lia or the controversy before.

I purposely don't get involved or read about these current events hottest topic issues. It seems like there is always some slant to it. I will look at evidence of someone presents it to me. That's how I prefer to do it as I know I'm not immune against bring sucked into a narrative.
Plus, that wasn't really wasn't what the thread was about. I actually have no opinion of the transgender sports issue.
Well it's disproportionately black men doing the attacking and black trans being killed. This is not surprising given that the FBI hate crime stats for attacks on gay men is also like 6-1 disproportionate when looking at racial groups.
But it's like the Asian hate crime task force in NYC that won't release attacker data. Nobody in the mainstream really wants to come out and say whom is doing most of the attacking, but they obliquely refer to it by saying things like "not wanting to inflame tensions between minority groups" or just pointing out the most common victims.
There was a transgender murder near me a few years ago. The HRC has it as a hate crime.
The murderer was the transgenders 'wife.' Both were MTF transgenders. They lived together and told people they were married. How can that be a hate crime? If a black person kills another black person is that a hate crime?
