Sophie Cunningham has made her stance on protecting women's sport clear after addressing the issue of transgender athletes competing in female categories for the first time. The WNBA star and Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever teammate spoke about the subject during an interview, where she responded to criticism she received over her past comments and social media activity.
Cunningham said she had been wrongly labelled as someone who hates transgender people, insisting that her views have been misunderstood. While saying she wants to show love and respect to everyone, she also argued that young girls should not have to compete against what she described as 'biological men' in sport or share locker rooms with them.
