Advocacy groups throughout the conservative commentary ecosystem have pushed to get these leagues on record about transgender athlete participation, without success. 

Now, these groups are moving beyond just trying to get athlete eligibility questions on record. XX-XY Athletics, the sports apparel group that has used Cunningham’s comments as a way get its brand in front of cameras at WNBA games, is suing Colorado in court saying its state anti-discrimination law prevents the company from marketing its apparel using trans athletes’ deadnames and misgendering them deliberately. The company is at least partially bankrolled by a prominent conservative couple in Colorado with deep ties in Republican politics. The company’s face and CEO, Jennifer Sey, a Bay Area resident, was a national champion gymnast before she gained a following online arguing against COVID school closures and vaccine mandates.

If that were the extent of it it would be fine; I even agree with a lot of his criticisms, but it's become nearly his entire output. When F.D. Signifier took issue with Badempanada's use of Nazi dog-whistles he accused him of being a Zionist. He also accused F.D. Signifier of supporting Graham Platner despite F.D. being one of the first to express concern about him. By jumping on single statements that are often ambiguous, assuming the worst, and ignoring any context that contradicts his accusations he is just creating unnecessary conflict with his close ideological allies. Rather than trying to have a normal conversation about things with other leftists he creates a series of videos scrutinizing everything they say and blowing things out of proportion. If you haven't watched his "debate" with F.D. Signifier where he takes advantage of Overzealot's friendship to hijack a stream he was doing with F.D. and make it about him, you should check it out. It makes the toxic way that Badempanada operates very transparent.
