Seattle Storm center Stefanie Dolson wore a shirt that said “Trans rights are human rights” before Tuesday’s 105-95 loss to the Fever, which seemed to be a direct response to Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham’s recent comments about transgender athletes.
Cunningham voiced support for barring transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports in an ESPN article published last week — and days later, she doubled down ahead of the Fever’s win over the Connecticut Sun.
After the game, a reporter asked Fever head coach Stephanie White about the anti-trans rally and Cunningham’s recent comments.
A Fever spokesperson immediately stepped in and responded with a statement from the organization.
“Neither our organization nor Sophie had any knowledge of this demonstration and no contact with its organizers,” the team spokesperson said while reading from a laptop computer.
“Our only goal as a team, whether at home or away, is to win basketball games and make Fever fans for life, and we are united in that mission. Anymore basketball questions?”
Cunningham and Fever superstar Caitlin Clark were not made available for postgame questions about the rally.
Dolson — who is publicly out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and shared her story in a ESPN feature in 2016 — flashed the message on a tank top while posing for a tunnel fit photo at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.
An anti-trans rally took place before the game, with one reporter saying that it was “inspired by Sophie Cunningham” in a postgame press conference.
Dozens gathered outside Climate Pledge Arena to support Cunningham, as well as promote statewide initiatives 638 and 011, which would bar transgender students from participating in girls’ athletics at Washington state schools, according to ESPN.

What a brain dead idiot..there is NO such thing as “trans” its a made up bogus lie by commies in order to indoctrinate the next generation of commie voters
Nuts...
To me, it seems this whole situation, controversy and personality conflicts was manufactured or exploited to create interest in a professional sport that historically had little public appeal.
I’m still waiting for an actual definition of it. ‘Trans’ seems to cover whatever someone using it wants it to mean at any time...
If I hear ‘transvestite’, or ‘homosexual’, I know what those words mean. ‘Trans’ seems to mean nothing, or a whole spectrum of conditions.
Not that I have any plans but on principle alone I’d never enter such a named place.
they’re all nuts...just different flavours
Not exactly. When people say ‘transsexual’ or ‘transgender’, one is never really sure what they mean by it.
But when we hear ‘transvestite’ or ‘homosexualist’, we’re pretty sure we know what’s meant, as those have precise meanings.
Rights is rights! Special treatment (for ANYTHING!) is NOT equal treatment.
“Being a US citizen does NOT make one an American!”. rktman 2026.
Post a pic of the shirt.
Anyhow, I predict we'll see the Left cut themselves loose from the troons. They're just too weird and creepy, and the Left's Third World, communist, pro-Hamas demographic isn't really fond of them.
Sophie doesn’t have a problem with mentally ill men who identifies as “trans” women, per se. She simply is saying that they shouldn’t be allowed to compete against ACTUAL women in sports.
I don’t follow basketball, but I’m glad the Fever won in this case.
Always entertaining to watch folks virtue signal on 80-20 issues.
I’d love to see Dolson get smashed and permanently disabled by a “trans woman” on the court. She’d change her tune pronto after that.
The WNBA exhibits stupidity usually only found on police body cams.
They want us to all follow the science- what are they waiting for?
Most HS boys varsity teams could beat the best WNBA team.
