The debate around transgender athletes participating in women's sports has reached all-time highs after comments on the subject by Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and tennis stars Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff.

"That is not what we should be supporting. That doesn't mean that you don't love people. It doesn't mean that you're not kind to people, but it means that you're talking about rational things…
