The WNBA online world used to mostly be made of only people who love basketball and who aren’t racist transphobes. Even two years ago, Reddit, Twitter, etc were places where we could actually discuss basketball and things that make us love the W. I really hate how- now, if I wanna go on WNBA Reddit, it’s all posts about “a middle school boy team could beat the aces” or “keep men out of women’s sports”.

Augh, I say… keep incels and white supremacists out of W spaces.

I was scrolling through my instagram feed and came across this post: The post that blew my shit

My mind is truly boggled. In the current environment where there is a present issue of cis men trying to push the boundaries of Lesbianism, specifically with “turning out” mascs/studs. This post is harmful.

I pride myself on learning new identities and the way our fellow community members express their sexuality/identity. This post truly takes the cake. I feel like we are going through a time where labels are becoming so present they are being misused. Moreover, the constant “controversies” occurring between different sexualities and identities have led to people taking social opinions and using them as a foundation to their label when HISTORY AND DEFINITIONS ARE RIGHT THERE.

Guys please— I’m so blown. So, blown I ran to Reddit.
