- Cheryl Reeve sends clear message to Sophie Cunningham with ‘Trans Kids Belong’ shirt during Fever-Lynx game
Cheryl Reeve, Minnesota Lynx head coach, wore a 'Trans Kids Belong' shirt during a game against Sophie Cunningham's Indiana Fever, aligning with her stance on inclusion for trans youth in sports. The gesture was interpreted as a response to Cunningham's advocacy for separating biological men from girls' sports and locker rooms, though Cunningham clarified her position does not exclude trans kids from other areas. The article notes a rally supporting Cunningham's stance occurred before the game.
