The Women’s National Basketball Association can’t define a ‘woman,’ and it’s beyond shameful
The article criticises the WNBA’s response to a debate over transgender participation and changing-room access in women’s basketball. It argues that the league has delayed taking a clear position after former NBA players reportedly declared for the draft, framing this as a failure to protect female athletes and girls.
According to the article, the WNBA said it would use the coming weeks and months to discuss the issue further, including questions around how it defines eligibility for women’s competition. The piece cites comments by player Sophie Cunningham about protecting girls in locker rooms and presents the league’s approach as inadequate; these are opinion-led claims rather than a neutral account of a confirmed policy decision.
