Racism and transphobia are distorting the conversation around the W.N.B.A. The contributing Opinion writer Roxane Gay argues that the league must continue its tradition of standing up for social issues. And, of course, keep the focus on basketball.

What about it do you find silly?

What it sounds like to me is your cowardly implying something transphobic about how trans women need to be kept seperate from cis women despite the science showing they are physically on par after a couple of years undergoing HRT.

    Yes true, there have been multiple studies on this already.

    HRT often causes trans women to shrink and lose a few inches for starters.

    And secondly the average height of an WNBA player is already 6ft, that is above the average cis mans.

    Third, this tired argument does make you transphobic.
