I HATE it when people say “the culture wars” or “the discourse” are ruining the WNBA. BE PRECISE. Right-wing fascists are introducing misogyny and bigotry through their narratives and demands, in an effort to delegitimize an organization full of popular black women who vocally champion inclusivity.
Cheryl Reeve, winningest coach in WNBA history, defends transgender athletes against sports bans. “Exclusion is never the answer. Separate isn’t equal. Trans lives matter.” 💗🏳️⚧️💗🏀💗
It is so refreshing to see Olivia Miles going viral every night for beautiful basketball plays rather than agenda-pushing. If you love basketball, you can't help but get swept away by how brilliant her game is.

You have to watch in Machete Order. Broadview 6, then Broadview 4, then Broadview 0. I understand that Broadview 1-3 and 5 were never released. And really, I think that the U.S. Attorney should stop releasing new iterations at this point. It isn't going well.

Please unfollow me if you are a transphobe or TERF or “just asking questions.” All human beings deserve the same rights. Nobody should be afraid they are going to get beat up or ridiculed or fired based on their gender identity. Protect the dolls today and forever. Always stand up to bullies.
Today we celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility and the trans and non-binary individuals across our communities.
