The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The WNBA said Monday that league security should not have required fans to cover shirts with messages about transgender women in women’s sports during Sunday’s Atlanta Dream-Indiana Fever game at Gateway Center Arena. At least three fans were approached, including Georgia mother Kasey Thomason and her daughter Annie, who wore XX-XY Athletics shirts. The league said the shirts complied with arena policy and should have been allowed.

The WNBA was wrong to make fans hide XX-XY Athletics shirts supporting women’s sports. Threatening or targeting spectators for that message is unfair discrimination against pro-woman views.
