Holy loaded language Batman? "Attacking" the "way of life?" It's women's high school sports, not some ancient and sacred tradition. Just kids trying to have fun.

Get some goddamn perspective please. Transphobes didn't care about women's highschool basketball until it gave them a wedge issue to attack transwomen. The fact that it became a topic and a talking point has nothing at all to do with how much an issue it actually is.
