WNBA fight over males in women's sports exposes how the left keeps answering a question nobody asked

WNBA player Natasha Cloud had a message for transgender people Sunday night.

The Chicago Sky guard wrote on social media that trans people "belong," that they're loved, seen and "perfect as you are." She added that they would always be "protected" by her.

WNBA HAS 'NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT TO FACE,' ENES KANTER FREEDOM SAYS AS LEAGUE TAKES ON TRANS ATHLETE ISSUE It came after Cloud confronted Enes Kanter Freedom during the Sky's 113-90 loss to the Indiana Fever at Wintrust Arena on Sunday night.

Freedom has spent the past few weeks pushing the WNBA on something that really shouldn't be difficult to answer: Can a male play in a women's professional basketball league? Cloud answered a question nobody asked.

The fight isn't over who gets through the doors at a WNBA arena.

Freedom is asking whether a male is allowed to play in a women's league.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has made the same basic point , saying "biological men" shouldn't compete in women's sports.

But there's a reason the conversation keeps getting dragged somewhere else: defending males in women's sports is a much harder argument to make than simply declaring "trans people belong." And Cloud wasn't the only one doing this over the weekend.

The New York Liberty hosted the Fever at Barclays Center on Saturday, and the scoreboard featured messages specifically welcoming transgender fans.

"Welcome Trans Liberty fans! You are loved and you belong!" one read.

Another said, "Hey trans fans! Glad you're here! Go Liberty!" WOMAN CLAIMS NY LIBERTY TRIED TO CHANGE HER 'XX-XY' PAID SCOREBOARD MESSAGE FOR HALFTIME OF FEVER GAME Outside the arena, transgender activists showed up to counter a rally supporting Cunningham and chanted "trans lives matter." Okay.

Sure.

Transgender fans are welcome at basketball games.

Treat them like everyone else in the building.
