I don’t really get this? No, the Sky did not have an All Star (this has happened in the NBA before) but Sky players were on the orange carpet and featured at the expo. Sky entertainment was all over the event too - Skye, Shaun Redwell, the drum line, etc.

Chicago is throwing one hell of a party for All-Star weekend. It’s too bad the Sky couldn’t get an invite. Wrote about the contradiction of the hosts not having an All-Star — and what it tells us about priorities within the team’s ownership.

Also notable is "biological men" when we are talking about young girls. Trans girls aren't just misgendered, they are stripped of childhood entirely, invading men. And thus always on an opposing team, a trans girl as a teammate and friend playing alongside their kid is unfathomable.

As journalists we can’t just let athletes like Sophie Cunningham or Britta Curl drop transphobic talking points into our stories without pushing back. “Protecting girls from what? From who? Where is the evidence that this is occurring?” Make them say the quiet part out loud. Challenge them w/ facts

Irresponsible reporting to let this quote stand without pushback from the reporter on the fact that there is demonstrably no danger for cis girls who are in locker rooms or sports with trans girls. (Notable that the word “trans” is not followed by “people” or “women.” Dehumanizing language.)

You say she's a "MAGA Barbie," as some corners of the internet have taken to calling her?
Projection, she says, because of what she looks like and where she's from. She'll weigh in on how to "protect women's sports," she says, because she's in that world and feels qualified to speak to that world. "I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that," she says. "I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."

The story of a trans girl who tried to fight Idaho's anti-trans laws, and died to suicide earlier this year, is only now coming to light. Our hearts are broken, but we need to tell these stories and mourn our dead, because the media is barely bothering to look for the victims of trans genocide.
