Seems to me that that level of “pretending” to be uninformed can only be disingenuous.
The person in the article is being disingenuous by framing it as “sports” instead of “competitions.” That’s why I asked, who is saying trans people can’t compete in sports? The answer is nobody significant. There are people who say they can’t compete in certain competitions, though. That’s not the same as them saying they can’t compete in sports.
Also, where does the interviewer say trans people cannot participate in sports?
You can just copy-paste the quote so we know exactly what you’re talking about.
You’re being incredibly pedantic. The context of the interview is they are talking to an NCAA Women’s Basketball coach. Deductive reasoning could tell you they’re likely talking about NCAA sports, and that her answer would be related to the competitions she is a part of. This is controversial because many people do not want trans women to play in the NCAA women’s leagues.
I’m not talking about the specific words the reporter used, that’s the pedantry I was talking about. The reporter was asking her if trans women should be allowed to participate, and she said yes, which is a controversial statement. Since you apparently didn’t read the article, here’s the actual quote from the article where the coach clarified exactly what her point was. Not sure how that’s disingenuous.
Zaksheske pressed further: “Do you think transgender women should be able to participate?” to which Staley responded affirmatively, “In college? That’s [the] question you want to ask, so I’ll give you that. Yes. Yes.”
If your point is that the reporter literally said one word instead of another, then no I won’t argue about that. That would be a waste of time to comment on, I’ll leave that to you since it seems to be the only takeaway you got from the article.
For people that read above an elementary level, my point makes sense, because it’s about the actual subject of the article (what the coach said). If my point doesn’t make sense to you that’s okay, reading comprehension can be difficult, but if you can’t understand what I’m saying then you should probably stop trying to argue with me about it.
Also, I’m not the same person that originally replied to you. That person is the one that said the reporter said trans athletes shouldn’t compete. I came in later to point out that you were focusing on entirely the wrong thing. It makes a lot of sense that you don’t understand the article when you can’t even understand who you’re replying to.
You said the interviewer said trans people can’t compete in sports.
Lol no I didn’t. Please link to the comment where my username said that? I’ll wait.
In the meantime, I’ll link you to Buffalox’s comment, because they are the one that said it. Here you go.
The funniest thing is that I explained this to you in my last comment, and you have again displayed your lack of reading comprehension skills.
Let me slow it down for you dude: you’re arguing with the wrong person about the wrong thing. We are having 2 different conversations because you literally cannot read or think critically. I feel sad for people that try to communicate with you in real life.

I hope that helps clear it up for you.
Okay, so the interviewer didn’t actually say trans people can’t compete in sports.
You were just being disingenuous.

I’m not sure why you’re replying to me just to prove my point.
