The Phoenix Mercury star who made her first media appearance ahead of the start of the 2023 WNBA season called it “a crime” to “separate someone for any reason” when asked about state legislation aimed at preventing transgender athletes from competing against those of the gender they identify as.

“Which NBA team would have @brittneygriner since apparently the overwhelming, obvious differences between men and women should simply be overlooked? Heartbreaking to see athletically successful women take this demeaning stance,” Gaines tweeted Sunday.

“And if we’re going to talk about crimes, Brittney…”

“That ranks high on the list of things I’ll be fighting for and speaking up against,” Griner said when asked by an ESPN reporter about advocating for transgender athletes.

“Everyone deserves the right to play. Everyone deserves the right to come here, sit in these seats, and feel safe. And not feel like there’s the threat, or they can’t be who they are, or like it’s just all eyes on them.

“I think it’s a crime honestly to separate someone for any reason. So, I definitely will be speaking up against that legislation and those laws that are trying to be passed, for sure.”
