WNBA, also known as the Women's National Basketball Association, is a privately owned entity headquartered in the United States. Founded in 1996, with approximately 140 employees, the organization functions as a professional basketball league comprised of 12 teams featuring women’s basketball players.
On August 20, 2026, XX-XY Athletics founder Jennifer Sey alleged that the WNBA may be concealing male participation, suggesting this is a reason for the league's reluctance to change its eligibility criteria. This claim follows increased attention on transgender player inclusion, initially sparked by comments from Sophie Cunningham. Previously, an article published on August 19 highlighted how anti-trans attacks are testing the WNBA's historical reputation as a refuge for LGBTQ+ fans. The article included an updated statement from the WNBA following a meeting held on August 12.
