The people who feel hate towards her because of an opening ceremony or a magazine cover or any other "leftist narrative" that has nothing to do with her, need to check themselves. She isn't why Bruce is Caitlyn now.  She isn't why the opening ceremony included a queer fashion show. 

Normally Joe Sixpack doesn't even notice women's boxing, let alone attribute anything happening in women's boxing to any disturbing global trend. It's not Joe Sixpack.  It's elements of the right wing international media, including Russia, that are pushing the narrative that the two are related.

Nobody is hating anyone for having a disorder.. The problem here is that certain people and companies are glorifying this mental illness in the guise of bravery and heroism. These people are not heroes, they're examples of a progressive paradigm to make money.. 

They're trying to create a niche market where there shouldn't be one.

100% true that progressive media glorifies "coming out" as transgender and 100% true that transgenderism is a mental disorder or illness.  How we as society treat or ignore that disorder is up for discussion but it's definitely a mental disorder.

But this boxer doesn't have a mental disorder.  She has an endocrine disorder.  And I don't think anyone on the left was trying to score points on her story.  I think only people on the right were, in this case.
