Resurfaced WNBA post shows league celebrating males who stole wins from female athletes
A resurfaced 2021 WNBA social-media post has drawn criticism after it celebrated transgender athletes Andraya Yearwood and Terry Miller. The article argues that the post contrasts with the league’s current uncertainty over whether biological males should be eligible for women’s professional basketball, making it part of a wider debate about transgender participation in women’s sport.
The WNBA reportedly shared the post on X, formerly Twitter, and Facebook in June 2021. The article frames Yearwood and Miller’s competitive success as having come at female athletes’ expense, while referring to recent comments suggesting the league may need “weeks and months” to decide its eligibility policy.
