What is your stance on men or athletes who tested biological male participating in women's sports? What's your personal stance?

I do think, you know, when we think about various levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport and things that go into that, like I said, I'm not educated enough at the different levels. I know growing up, I played with the boys all the time. There are girls sports. Would you welcome a biological male in WNBA? Again, it's like I don't know when we talk about biological male and scientifically where we are. I think it's a totally different scenario. As I said, I'm not educated enough in terms of transgender and transitioning to give you a smart answer. I would say though that I just don't feel like exclusion is an answer and I think that we need to have deeper more layered conversations.
