What did he say?

The usual transphobe bullshit about how he's "concerned" about men playing in women's sports.

The sports debate always enters very difficult territory.

What people do with their own body in their own time is their business. I cannot find a statement of Ware disagreeing with this take

However with sports the debate inherently goes outside of personal freedoms. A competition is against other people. Demanding people to agree with every take outside of personal freedom, or directly calling them transphobes is rather extreme.

Nonetheless if people really wanted it, I doubt Ware really cares about this position enough to not move on it.

The sports debate is only difficult territory if you're a raging transphobe who somehow feels that "the integrity of sports" is somehow on the same level as literal human rights. Otherwise it's extremely simple; human rights are significantly more important than some made up bullshit about how people are just becoming trans solely so they can win at sports
