5. No. As much as it may shock some people, we are not.

The real threats to women's sports? Inhuman scum like Larry Nassar. Other coaches and trainers that abuse female athletes - physically, mentally and especially sexually. How about Cruella DeVos and her efforts to erase Title IX during her reign of terror as Secretary of "Education".

And let's not forget all of the administrators who would absolutely love to completely defund women's sports. Each and every one of them would gladly slash the funding for women's sports to $0, to spend all that money on "more important", "more profitable" programs like football, basketball and for certain colleges, baseball.

But, of course, some people (even here) would like us to believe Lia Thomas and other trans athletes are worse than Satan or Drumpf. Even the mention of her name will get people yelling and screaming about how "Trans people are destroying women's sports!" No evidence exists, of course, while mountains of evidence exist showing how the conservatives would gladly destroy women's sports, and that plenty of cisgendered men and women have inflicted incredible harm upon female athletes.

But facts? Meh... They're boring.
