There's really no context to when/why/how she said it (and I haven't looked deeper into the matter). It was probably a hypothetical question someone threw at her and then ran with it as if she made the statement out of the blue.

"something in the works" you said
well somebody's got to teach those transwomen to surf.

NBC


Hamilton proposed that the WSL create a separate division for trans athletes altogether - and she isn't alone. After Surfing Australia, a part of the International Surfing Association, shared guidance that was inclusive of transgender surfers, pro surfer Kelly Slater and others called for a "trans division."


And I found one!

Good for Bethany. Good to see someone standing up for women's rights. Certain men want to take them away again, don't they?

To me this is a perfect example of capitalism vs socialism. If the "trans division" can make money, best wishes, sincerely, if not well sorry about that. Or should it be able to piggyback on the success of the WSL Men's and Woman's divisions while bringing nothing to the table but an open palm? Equity or Equality? The first is unachievable and the second is what we should strive for.

Well next time you bump into a trans surfer you can tell them that.
