Alabama's Tommy Tuberville claims ‘entire men’s teams’ are transitioning. There’s no evidence of that because it’s not true (www.advocate.com)

Tuberville: "Entire mens basketball teams are juiced to the gills on E. I've seen it. These boys could try to compete with the other boys teams, but why bother? They figure "Gee. I could train hard, or I could just go beat a buncha girls. As a pretty girl. I could wear swooshy skirts and have cute long hair. And everyone would treat me like a girl because I'd be a girl. A pretty, fun, cute girl who believes in herself." And so of course that's what they do! That's what I'd do. If I still played sports, I'd think about how much easier it'd be to compete as a girl. Not that I ever did think about it. About being a pretty girl and wearing swooshy skirts. But you could imagine how these young men would be tempted by something like that."

I feel the need to point out he didn't actually say this. It's very funny, especially the line about being juiced to the gills with E, which should honestly be the dead giveaway, but this isn't really even paraphrasing Tommy.

Can someone tell him transitioning is something he could actually do?

Why not just come right out and admit it.
