It's a combination of many things coming together.

1) Many smaller African countries are recruiting androgynous people into their women's teams in order to catch up with Nigeria, South Africa and Cameroon.

2) There is a rightwing backlash against LGBTQ (that's one of the things that led to the election of Donald Trump).

3) Washington Spirit fans are heartbroken.

4) Barbra Banda was the MVP and there is an increase this season in androgynous African players putting in incredible performances, eg, Barbra Banda, Temwa Chawinga and to some extent Rachel Kundananji (you can add Tabitha Chawinga in France).

🤣 Some of these comments are hilarious!

People are in a rush to post something negative and they aren't taking the time to consider whether it makes sense.

Someone is asking why the military is involved in sports, another is asking about food.

This is premium entertainment!

I'll attach the rest of the pictures later. They aren't attaching right now.

Cultural display.
