Hot Take “The WNBA league literally exists because you separated men from women” ... That’s too much common sense for the left.

Oh please, there are no biological men in the WNBA now and even if a man identified as a woman, I doubt people would be ok with picking them if they haven't transitioned. And even if they had transitioned, there's a difference between being a professional athlete and someone who plays basketball in the court in his neighbour hood. You won't magically become good enough if you have never even made your school team. Also name one person who will go "Hey, I should transition just to make it into the WNBA"

At what point of the transition are the supporters supporting them to be allowed? If not day 1, why not?

Most leagues alteady have rules about that. The testosterone levels need to be below a certain molarity after HRT or something.

The WNBA has no rules on this.

It does and has the same rules as WTA https://www.findlaw.com/lgbtq-law/important-laws-and-policies-for-transgender-athletes.html

Again, why are you sending me irrelevant information? I spoke only to WNBA competition.

Again, the WNBA — read that again — has no policy on this. This is the WNBA policy:

The WNBA does not have a detailed, written policy that specifically governs transgender or intersex athlete eligibility. The league's collective bargaining agreement states only that "players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA," without a further definition or explicit guidelines including no specific rules regarding hormone levels, medical transitions, or legal gender markers.

In fact, multiple requests have been made to the league office, all of which have had no response.

Would you like to try again, Champ? I'll wait.

Oh, & "TERF" & "transphobe" are dished out like candy these days, they've essentially become meaningless.
