Lynx coach defends trans athletes ahead of big game vs Fever with Sophie Cunningham rally scheduled outside

Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve defended the right of "Save Women’s Sports" demonstrators to gather outside Sunday’s game against the Indiana Fever, even as she rejected their argument.

Reeve said that the scenario of "biological men" in girls' locker rooms is "not the case."

"It is not the case that we have 'biological men' in girls' locker rooms. The way it's being phrased, the innuendo there that transgender women are predators of some kind in the locker room. There's a lot of narrative that is problematic that we need to address," she said.

Fever star Sophie Cunningham recently said that she took a stand on the issue because, "I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."

Reeve's remarks came before a rally dubbed "Sophie Night," which XX-XY Athletics founder Jennifer Sey plans to hold outside Target Center in support of Cunningham, ahead of the Lynx game against the Fever.

Reeve suggested she is not concerned about any safety issues as a result of the rally.

"I don’t think we should feel like our safe space is being threatened," Reeve told reporters on Saturday. "I don’t think these demonstrators are not being peaceful, not that I’ve seen. I haven’t seen all of it. I haven’t heard everything that’s happening. But everyone has a right to peacefully assemble, whether you agree with them or not."

Similar demonstrations followed the Fever to Seattle on Tuesday and Portland on Friday this past week. The Seattle game erupted into controversy when two teenage Cunningham supporters alleged that Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton cursed at them courtside. The WNBA fined Keaton and barred her from Seattle’s next five home games.

How many men pretending to be women are on Cheryl’s team?

Coach Reeve needs to keep quite; she is not a medical doctor or scientist.

Even a supreme court justice knows when to invite admiration for being completely and utterly ignorant.

Please Lord, send a trans savior to the WNBA so the women you designed can see how wrong they are. Logic isn’t working.

Amen

Right? I think Sophia has struck a nerve. The WNBA lesbian dykes are nervous.

If there are actually men in the WNBA... They’re going to need to change their name to TNBA, or T&WNBA.

All she needs is one and they would go undefeated and the guy would score 100 points a game.

Also, how many of her players could play in the NBA?

Lesbian’s need not worry... As long as they’re women. If they are guys dressed like girls... They should worry.

So, a guy puts on a dress and now he’s a woman?

There isn’t a woman alive that could even be the 12th man on an NBA roster let alone a G League roster.

Put Caitlin Clark in an NBA scrimmage and she might be able to knock down an open 30-footer, but she would be a complete defensive liability.

If any NBA level athlete was playing aggressive man to man defense on her she would have a hard time even getting a shot off.

Good point! After all, I'm sure they wouldn't want to misgender anyone.

Forget the WNBA. They removed the America 250 logo celebrating out country’s founding from their A Star uniforms. They are not worth your time
