Transgender women's sports participation has been debated nationwide for months.
Some think transgender people shouldn't compete in female sports leagues, while others think it's unfair to exclude them. Brittney Griner has stated her position.
Brittney Griner said, “Everyone deserves the right to play,” at her first press conference since returning from Russia.
Transgender athletes are “high on the list of things I’ll be fighting for and speaking up against,” Griner added at her press conference.
“Everyone should play. Everyone should feel safe here. And not feel threatened, like they can't be themselves, or like everyone's watching.
“Honestly, separating someone for any reason is a crime. I'll surely speak out against that legislation and those laws seeking to pass."
Griner's daring message sparked social media debate.
