Understanding the Anti-Trans Backlash Against the WNBA

This year the WNBA became the unlikely target of anti-trans protests, despite the fact that there are no trans players in the league. On today’s episode of the TransLash Podcast, sports journalist Jemele Hill and writer Frankie de la Cretaz share their thoughts on these protests and how they think the league should handle the controversy. This week’s Trans Joy spotlights Devin Meyers, founder of the NYC-based trans+ basketball club, Basketdolls.
