Advocacy groups throughout the conservative commentary ecosystem have pushed to get these leagues on record about transgender athlete participation, without success.

Now, these groups are moving beyond just trying to get athlete eligibility questions on record. XX-XY Athletics, the sports apparel group that has used Cunningham’s comments as a way get its brand in front of cameras at WNBA games, is suing Colorado in court saying its state anti-discrimination law prevents the company from marketing its apparel using trans athletes’ deadnames and misgendering them deliberately. The company is at least partially bankrolled by a prominent conservative couple in Colorado with deep ties in Republican politics. The company’s face and CEO, Jennifer Sey, a Bay Area resident, was a national champion gymnast before she gained a following online arguing against COVID school closures and vaccine mandates.

    Aren’t being killed? My guy…. They have been being killed for a while now…. And hounded into suicide, abused, harassed. The harm is happening now. Yes, it can get worse, but it is already bad. I don’t think standing aside is the winning move you think it is. Stand with your allies. A very liberal solution there

      So what’s the end point? If the left doesn’t win then where do we go?

      We go towards death. They will kill more and the only hope is resistance. The only hope is we kill as many of them as they kill of us. That’s the future down the line! However, most people will go into hiding because they don’t want to be hunted down. So either way the only way out to survive is silence, is to lay low and hope democracy prevails. If it doesn’t then be ready to run, hide, or KILL
