As discussion surrounding transgender athletes and whether they should be allowed to compete in women’s sports continues to ?run rampant, the WNBA Player’s Association put out a statement which made its stance on the matter known.
“The WNBPA represents 200+ individual people with different lived experiences, cultures, lifestyles and opinions,“?he statement began. “We embrace justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Those are the values that unite this Union and ?allow it to protect women’s sports while creating transformational change. Hate, abuse, and demonization ?of ?any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, ?division, and harm.
“We will continue to have hard conversations. But we will not be used as political pawns.”
