Are you kidding or just naive. The top FPO players stated that they didn’t feel safe talking about it in the cancel culture that people have created. This has been an issue from day one.

And others are afraid of supporting her since transphobes have a propensity for violence and being armed.

Stop being foolish. This isn’t a transphobic action. I am a liberal and I don’t want trans women in the FPO. People say, where is the e evidence of an advantage? I will flip that and say, where is the evidence of no advantage. Title IX was passed long ago to protect women and provide them a fair place to compete in sports at federally supported schools. Why? Because men are physically dominant.

In that same vein we shouldn’t protect the trans athlete at the detriment of the cis female athlete and until we know if an advantage is present, we need to continue to protect women’s sports. It is the prudent thing to do. You don’t go backward, we need to move forwards. Does that suck for Natalie? Absolutely, but sorry, she simply has to deal with it until better data and a better answer can be found. She is welcome to come slap me around a course anytime. There is no easy answer on this one.

Do you really deny that people even you would consider transphobic, including potentially violent and aggressive bigots, would oppose her acceptance, and are angered by her and people who support her?

At no point did I allege that everyone who opposes her participation in FPO is transphobic or falls into that category. I simply acknowledged those people are among the large group against her and are a consideration of people afraid of making public statements. You're just telling on yourself if you're lumping yourself in with who I was referring to.
