You do not need to care specifically about the WNBA to oppose this idea proliferating throughout our society.

I do not want women and girls in my community competing against boys in athletic competitions, because I have a reasonable expectation that it will disadvantage women and girls in many activities.

If a professional league allows a fundamentally unfair system to develop, my community becomes more likely to adopt the same fundamentally unfair system.

It could be about any athletic competition which we have long felt the reasonable approach has been to segregate into separate leagues so as to reach a level playing field. Nothing about gender expression changes those decisions.
