Layshia Clarendon, former shooting guard for the New York Liberty, is returning to the league with the Minnesota Lynx as the league’s first openly trans and nonbinary player, Star-Tribune reported.
It was announced on Wednesday that Lynx agreed to sign the 30-year-old free agent to replace Aerial Powers, ESPN reported. Clarendon entered the WNBA in 2013 as the ninth pick in the first round, having played at the University of California and winning two gold medals with the USA Women’s U19.
An all-star in 2017, Clarendon has career averages of 7.3 points and 3.0 assists. Last season, they played 19 of the Liberty’s 20 games and averaged a career-high 11.5 points with 3.9 assists, ESPN reported. Clarendon is also a vocal advocate for the LGBTQ community and the first vice president of the WNBPA as well as a leader on the league’s social justice council.
“My expectations for the WNBA [are]… basically just not to forget trans people exist,” Christine Salek, a beat writer for the New York Liberty fan news site Nets Republic, said after Clarendon was waived by the New York Liberty last week. “I’m worried about being forgotten as a fan if there’s no ‘representation’ for me in this crucial way.”

The tranny and lesbian league.
Have to wonder how many better, non-trans, genuine female players were denied the job so a “woke” box could be checked.
Gee, I hope it doesn’t hurt the WNBA’s (nonexistent) ratings.
Let me know when Shaq signs up. They’d be a sure bet for the championship.
You mean Shaquita?
I’m sure that many share my sentiments . . . who cares!
The freak league.
This trans stuff is confusing. This tranny signed with the WNBA back in 2013 but it’s making news now 8 years later because now they transitioned? Was the granny a dude prior to 2012?
So is this the chicken, the hen, or the rooster?
I’m sticking with my original reason for NOT watching the WNBA.
Not worth even a glance. I’d rather watch paint dry.
Is this a guy who wants to be a girl or a girl who wants to be a guy???
A guy takes a women’s position on the team. I can’t wait until teams are men and transgender and the women wonder what happened. I say that because women accepted this crap and are not fighting back.
TWNBA
Call me Twinba
This brilliant move will save the wnba
/sarc
The recipe is this
If it is a transgender girl it is a bio boy
If it is a transgender boy it is a bio girl
What is they now? F,m or M,f

“...In 2021, Clarendon underwent surgery to remove breast tissue...”
Was this a girl who had boobs removed????
The first WNBA player to wear a cup.
It’s a women trying to become a guy...already had the “top surgery”:
