14. This honestly doesn't surprise me

I think there have been a very few, very high profile cases that have done a disproportionate amount of harm with regards to the sports issue. The Lia Thomas case was one for sure. Most everyone know in real life supports trans rights but feels strongly after what happened with Thomas that women's sports needs to be redefined as only for athletes who were born female because the biological advantage to being born male, even with hormone suppression, is too great. Thomas demonstrated that plainly for the world to see.
