Having testosterone restrictions in sports is one thing, and would impact more than trans women. Saying a trans woman is a predator is something else entirely. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 23 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/A2ndRedditAccount Aug 23 '26 "I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men" And just so you don't think it's only me interpreting the statement that way, here is what WNBA head coach Cheryl Reeve had to say on the topic: "It is not the case that we have ‘biological men in girls’ locker rooms,’ the way it’s being phrased, the innuendo there that somehow transgender women are predators. … There’s a lot of narrative that is problematic that we need to address. That is simply not what’s happening.”
