Sophie Cunningham stands firm on trans athletes amid ‘hating’ backlash
Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham is standing by her comments on trans athletes.
In an ESPN interview, the 29-year-old said she doesn’t hate trans people but wants to “protect young girls” and keep “biological men” out of women’s sports.
On Wednesday she doubled down: “I said what I said. It’s common sense... I stand by what I said.”
She added she’s “not political,” calls herself “in the middle,” and believes “there’s room for everyone,” including trans athletes — but also that rights for biological women need protecting.
The comments have sparked backlash online, where she’s been labeled “MAGA Barbie,” a label she rejected.
