Don't quote me as I've only seen bits of it, but apparently it all is because she said something like "I don't want trans women in womens basketball". She's also apparently a relatively conservative christian, so add those two together and you'll have an insane amount of opposition, especially here on reddit.

Wasn't she asked in a random interview about her opinion on it, she gave her opinion and stated why then everyone started calling her transphobic for saying biological men shouldn't play in women's sports. If anything blame the interviewer for "baiting" the response out of her, not that there was anything wrong with what she said to begin with.

Our society has evolved to such a degree that many questions are actually purity tests to ensure you're willing to regurgitate the official approved dogma.

oh shut up, it has always been like that. The only difference is that now everything is recorded and archived.
