Controversial take, but if you're trans for the bit then you're trans, baby!
Like... this is a bad faith stunt for sure but like... what if it wasn't? Like... what if they really do want to come out but are being trolls about it?
Like... same energy as the dudes that pretend to be women on the internet 'for the lulz.' A handful of my transfemme friends were this kind of person pre-transition.
What if... they're serious? Like I want this to be taken seriously. I want this taken as a serious claim. Because let's say they make it past the lawsuit, past the tryouts- let's say they make it to the draft.
They have to play as women. If you make it that far, I have to wonder how much you're trolling.
Though I have to wonder in what capacity someone can play pro basketball and be a US senator at the same time.
