Summary
Cheryl Reeve used Minnesota's 86-66 regular-season-ending win over Indiana to again support the transgender community, calling attacks over trans participation in sports an effort to deny trans people existence.
Thursday's remarks came as dueling rallies gathered outside Target Center for the third time this season, with supporters of Fever guard Sophie Cunningham met by pro-trans counterprotesters.
Reeve said her Aug. 2 "Trans Kids Belong" shirt became one of the season's most meaningful moments after messages from transgender people and parents who said the gesture helped their families feel seen.
The dispute has become a recurring WNBA flashpoint since Supreme Court rulings upheld some state restrictions; the league has held talks with team leaders while saying no current WNBA trans eligibility case exists.
