I seriously don't want to defend this asshole, but how on the Earth could Andy's best position be small forward? Guard? Sure. But he is said to be small. Small people don't play small forward. It's not called small forward because small people play on it. In male basketball teams, small forwards are over 2 meters tall (that's 6'6"-6'7" in imperial measurements) It's not discrimination when one isn't allowed to play in a position they are physically not fit to. In our team (female basketball), only our center was close to being as tall as male small forwards, and in basketball, height is a VERY important factor when it comes to choosing positions. Even if Andy played small forward before his transition, he is likely at least 15-20 cms (5-7 inch) shorter than the minimum requirements of the position for males (and I'm being generous there). That's a disadvantage that's impossible to beat. Being FTM trans is already a huge disadvantage in sports, and Andy just makes his position even worse with wanting to play small forward. Honestly? Ben is an awful asshole, but he is right about one thing. In a male team, Andy is not fit to play that position, and not because of social injustice.
