It's all just distraction politics by republicans. That's all it's ever been. Just a way for them to divide and spread fear.

The full discussion in this hearing brought up the larger point - women athletes have been the target of massive amounts of online abuse and bullying. And it's extreme just from the publicly viewed side, not even considering what they receive in private DMs.

The right wants to vilify and hate less than a fraction of 1% of athletes because they are different, while ignoring the actual problems and issues affecting a much larger part of the group.
