WNBA Fans Tell OutKick They'd Welcome Biological Male Players In The League
While Caitlin Clark and her fellow biological female future stars of the WNBA were inside the Brooklyn Academy of Music Monday night celebrating the 2024 Draft, out on the streets, fans told OutKick they wouldn't have a problem if dudes with dongs infiltrated the league.
OutKick's Caity McDuffee hit the streets to ask the question that the WNBA didn't want asked inside its Draft party (which meant it wasn't going to credential OutKick after Dan Zaksheske asked a simple question to South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley): "Should a biological male be allowed to compete in women's sports?"
The results are in from Monday night and WNBA fans say, yes, bring on the biological males.
"If someone feels they are a woman, and they are a woman, then yes, they should be playing women's sports," one fan told McDuffee.
Even if it's LeBron James?
"Yes," the fan replied. "If LeBron James is going to transition and become a woman, then I think he should play women's sports.
Noted.
McDuffee went right back into the crowd to find more transG basketball player supporters.
"You can get into the weeds over testosterone levels, whatever, but I think if she's a woman, she's a woman. Let her compete. You can't take away sports for trans people," another fan told OutKick's biological female on the street.
Noted.
Let's keep going.
"Do you think that it's fair that a biological male who is naturally stronger, faster and bigger is taking away opportunities from women?" Caity asked another WNBA fan on the street.
This question wasn't a hit.
"I don't like the way that question is phrased," the WNBA fan shot back. "I don't think that's how it should be phrased. Again, education and information and knowledge about hormone levels should first and foremost be learned about before that discussion takes place."
Noted.
Now, let's talk some hoops! It wasn't all just transgender talk from Caity, who played NCAA DI lacrosse at Stony Brook University.
"Do you think that a WNBA team could beat an NBA team?" McDuffee asked.
Interesting question. Let's see how this goes.
"Yeah, most definitely," a man on the street fired back without hesitation. "Yeah, Pistons, Raptors, Wizards, Spurs, and let's say one more team, I'll go the Nets."
While the lunatic left wants you to believe biological males playing women's sports is a right vs. left question, based on recent surveys, that's just not the case. In a 2023 Gallup poll, 70% said transgender athletes should be allowed to play "only on teams that match birth gender."
That number was up 7% from May 2021.
People who said transgender athletes should be "able to play on teams that match identity" was down 8% in May 2023 compared to May 2021.
And before you think this is a left-wing media vs. right-wing media war, go back to the summer of 2022.
"Most Americans oppose trans athletes in female sports ..." the Washington Post said in a headline.
Meanwhile, here we are in 2024, and OutKick is denied access to ask this question.
Why is the WNBA so scared?
