See, this is why I can't take the "regulate the media" argument serious because how many articles have been written about Sophie Cunningham in recent weeks? How much pressure has been put on her, not just online but in real life? And yet it's understood that this is fair coverage
Factually incorrect:
Was she really booed though? Rachel literally shows a one second clip and we barely hear anything except for the commentator saying "hearing the boos".
Anyway, in the full video, Rachel goes on and suggests watching the Last Week Tonight "fantastic" segment about trans women in sports, summarizing it with "cis men don't actually have an across the board advantage over cis women in sports".

Rachel is a bit like Canada's own Taylor Lorenz, with a little Alejandra Caraballo thrown in. Although herself a cis woman, she feels concern as a tall woman because, and I quote, "people like Cunningham and myself are also among those who might be disproportionaly targeted by these anti-trans laws. These laws force rigid expressions of femininity on women".
