Except you're just wrong here. Malgorzata Dydek.
Here's more to consider. The average WNBA player height is 6 feet tall. I am smaller than that average. Do I have more right to be there than the women who are above that average height?
The point of the WNBA is that there are probably 10,000? 50,000? More? Men who are better than the best female basketball player. So if we didn't split them up by gender, there would be no way for women to compete.
Just like in your local rec leagues, you might find an under 6 foot league. Or an over 40 league. While somewhat arbitrary, the point of creating these demographics, is the best of those in that demographic can compete with their peers from that demographic.
I think transwomen competing in the WNBA is the physical equivalent of letting people 6'1 or 36 in the under 6 foot league, or over 40 league.
And I mentioned in the previous post, Dydek was practically immobile. Again, maybe that's what an NBA player would turn into. Or maybe worse with a transition. But it seems unlikely. She looked like she had some gland issues.
