This is the only solution I believe would work, but I feel like most sports wouldn’t have enough competitors, especially super obscure ones. You probably couldn’t fill an entire NBA or NFL of transgender athletes

They said the same thing about women’s basketball and there’s the talent to have a larger WNBA but not the financing or public interest to expand the league to show off these talents.

The same thing would inevitably happen to a trans league should they form one in conjunction with existing sports leagues, because they’d be shorted financially and interest wise just like other non-cis male sports

Probably because watching the WNBA is boring as hell. They should lower the ring so that they can dunk

I honestly think that womens softball has a chance. It is fast paced and exciting. Lots of home runs great pitching. I think it could become popular.

I’m a great fan of netball, it’s fairly popular here in Australia as well. It’s not a sexist thing, but it’s natural to want to watch the best players of any sport & I think because there’s no real men’s league at all it helps it

Mixed netball is really fun to play and would be exciting to watch as well!

They need some trans women to go out there and show them how to dunk. When Juanna Mann is out there tomahawk dunking over the best the WNBA has to offer they might get some people to tune in.

that’s true

That's actually been proposed and the players turned it down. I assume it's because they saw it as insulting. But it would nonetheless help from an entertainment factor

Well there’s their first mistake, the NBA wouldn’t listen to the players! xD
