There wasn't a problem with trans people in sports at any level. Trans women have never dominated any sport. If trans people were proportionately represented in women's Olympic gold medals (just to take an easy example) we'd see a few trans women take gold every year, instead of zero ever.

Dawn Staley isn’t here for Geno Auriemma’s apology. She also isn’t in this to beat Geno’s ass. She is driven by something else — and it’s the same thing that drives Geno: www.si.com/college-bask...

Geno Auriemma screamed, he complained, he doubled down afterward. But if he and Dawn Staley can agree on anything, it’s this: The better team won. www.si.com/college-bask...
