WNBA纽约自由人队球星Breanna Stewart在跨性别女性参加职业女性体育的争议升温之际，呼吁为球迷创造包容安全的竞技环境 1。这一呼声源于印第安纳热火队球员Sophie Cunningham在ESPN撰文反对跨性别女性参赛后，在热火队主场比赛外出现的支持和反对两方集会抗议 1。
Stewart表示："我想让自由人队球迷甚至印第纳波利斯球迷能够在这个竞技场感到这是一个安全空间" 1。她强调WNBA的包容性价值，并指出试图分裂球队和球员的行为不应被容忍 1。自由人队在与热火队的周六晚间比赛中以109-102战胜对手 1。
此外，在亚特兰大梦想队对热火队的比赛中，至少三名球迷被要求遮盖带有关于跨性别女性参赛信息的衣服 1。WNBA现行集体谈判协议将联赛限制为女性，但协议条文中不包含关于性别认同或分配性别的具体语言 1。Stewart曾因支持Harry Potter主题而面临在线反对，并将该鞋款的版税捐赠给LGBTQ+青年组织The Trevor Project 1。
Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty is urging the creation of a safe and inclusive environment for fans as debate intensifies over whether transgender women should compete in the WNBA 1. The call comes after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham expressed opposition to transgender women participating in women's sports in an ESPN column last month 1.
The remarks have sparked organized responses, with both supportive and opposing rallies held peacefully outside Fever games 1. Most recently, ahead of a Saturday evening matchup between the Fever and Liberty, demonstrations by both sides took place at the venue 1. The Liberty defeated the Fever 109-102 that night 1. "I want Liberty fans, even Indianapolis fans, to feel like this is a safe space in this arena," Stewart stated 1.
Tensions have extended beyond Indianapolis, with at least three fans at an Atlanta Dream versus Fever game being asked to cover clothing bearing messages related to transgender participation in women's sports 1. While the WNBA's collective bargaining agreement restricts league membership to women, it contains no specific language addressing gender identity or sex assignment 1.
Stewart has previously faced online backlash for her support of Harry Potter-themed merchandise, with royalties from the shoe donated to The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ youth organization 1.
