Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham grabbed headlines again on Wednesday after she came out with a controversial statement about transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.

“I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I’m like, ‘I never once said that,’” Cunningham said, via ESPN. “I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”

This is a very sensitive subject in America, which is why it comes as no surprise that the 29-year-old has stirred all sorts of reactions to her statements.
