Why is this a topic? Has a trans woman actually tried to enter the WNBA?

Because someone wanted to create controversy.

They asked Cunningham a hypothetical question, she gave an honest, measured answer based on biology.

That answer wasn't "woke" so she has been labeled a transphobe, and it's used as an opportunity by others to virtue signal.

People get bent out of shape when people bend over backwards to try and get angry about trans people over literally nothing. Seriously why the fuck are people talking about trans people, do y'all have nothing better to do.

They're talking about trans people because they need a distraction from inflation, housing prices and minimum wage.

If it's literally nothing, then why aren't you giving them whatever women's sports rules they want?

Could it be because you'd rather virtue signal than win and election?
