No in between.The transgender movement seems to work a lot like that. Any dissent, any disagreement with any part of it can lead to instant accusations of transphobia, hate and bigotry.Devoted California track mom Jennifer Oliver, while speaking to OutKick about the issue of biological males in women’s sports, bravely turned that notion on its head.CALIFORNIA FAMILIES OF GIRL
