WNBAs ‘Big Mama Stef’ Tried to Send a Pro-Trans

Seattle Storm heart Stefanie Dolson determined the best method to greet Sophie Cunningham before their matchup on Tuesday was to stroll out in a tank top screaming “Trans Rights Are Human Rights.”

Because arguing that organic males ought to be allowed to infiltrate ladies’s sports activities — the WNBA being a major ladies’s league — is a alternative.

Comedian Dave Chappelle once puzzled what would occur if LeBron James determined to throw on a sports activities bra and compete in the WNBA. He contends James would “score 840 points a game.”

Dolson, though, who is known throughout the league as “Big Mama Stef,” doesn’t quite grasp that concept. She instead went with this very subtle message for Cunningham prior to the game.

Apparently some folks in the league think the proper response to Cunningham’s common-sense take that men do not belong in women’s sports is … to troll her with shirts suggesting they should stuff a dude onto the roster.

Sophie, who has become known as an enforcer for the face of the league in Caitlin Clark, induced a firestorm in an ESPN interview in which she said one thing so overtly regular that the leftists infesting the league could not compute.

“I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men,” she said.

Furthermore, she prefaced it with feedback declaring she has no hate in her coronary heart for males who could also be under the impression that they’re truly ladies, but that it would not belong in sports activities where they will erase feminine information or worse, injure a feminine athlete.

Cunningham said she was there to “extend love,” but with that “love comes truth.”

Dolson could not deal with it.

Guess what? Big Mama Stef’s pre-game stunt did not work. It did not work at all. It did not even work when the gang in Seattle began hitting Sophie with loud boos throughout the night time.

Instead, Cunningham promptly lit it up from long-range, knocking down a trio of early threes while she, Clark, and the Fever rolled to a 105-95 win.

Sophie completed with 11 factors and 5 rebounds, both above her season average, and the staff was a strong +15 when she was on the ground. Clark actually laid the hammer down with 32 factors and 7 assists.

Dolson, meanwhile, gave her Storm teammates 5 factors, which, imagine it or not, is above her average. She’s a backup heart.

Perhaps even more of a assertion was the fact that there have been “protect girls” indicators noticed in the stands at the sport, turning the entire night time into a reminder that a growing chunk of followers are squarely on Sophie’s aspect.

“Thank you, Sophie, for speaking up for girls,” one signal read.

As RedState’s Deputy Managing Editor, Susie Moore, said: “Be like Sophie.”

“I say we all take a page from Sophie’s playbook and every time a progressive leftist … speaks loudly and proudly of their aims, simply stand and point at them without saying a word,” Moore writes.

Sophie is doing just wonderful.

In a matter of weeks, the Fever guard has added more than two million followers across Instagram and TikTok. The bounce has elevated her to a different degree of visibility, turning a function participant into one of the most talked-about athletes in the WNBA.

Women and women love her.
