Seriously, I can’t tell. The media refuses to report honestly on this. Photos suggest one thing. Unusual biological statistics back that thing up. But we are told the exact opposite. We’re told that we “can’t” even ask this question.
I feel like the importance of this has been a bit… Lost, during the trial, because if Griner is actually a biological male, this… Changes a fair bit. Not just about the trial, but also about the media reporting of the whole saga, AND the WNBA…
Imagine the actual female WNBA players who didn’t know, if this comes out in the wash. Imagine them learning they’ve been lied to for nigh on a decade.
I get it, “serves them right”, “fuck the WNBA”, etc, but come on, this is a massive culture war self own for the left, if it turns out that they’ve lied about Griner’s biology for all this time…
I don't think she's an MTF transsexual - for someone who wears their left-wing activism on their sleeve like this, I think there's too small a window between "banned for being a man" and "revelling in 'her' transness" for that to be the case. More likely in my view is that an intersex woman gravitated towards a job where a masculine build with just enough feminine traits not to be disqualified gives maximum competitive advantage.
Yeah my guess would be that if you started testing the WNBA, you'd find some interesting cases.
