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.¡±
