@theesportsgirl2: Sophie Cunningham isn’t backing off her stance on transgender athletes, telling reporters she stands by her ESPN comments about “protecting young girls” and keeping women’s sports limited to female athletes. Confronted with backlash, she responded, “I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense.” She rejected claims of anti‑trans sentiment, saying she wants to “extend love” while being honest, and pushed back on being labeled a “MAGA Barbie,” insisting she’s politically in the middle. Her remarks have ignited a fresh wave of debate across women’s sports, drawing both strong support and sharp criticism.
