2:58Now PlayingThe Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is at the centre of a culture war, trans rights advocates say, following tense interactions between fans of Indiana Fever shooting guard Sophie Cunningham and one of the owners of the Seattle Storm.
The altercation is the latest in a series of back-to-back legal rulings, high-profile interviews and a statewide ballot issue that could further diminish trans athletes' ability to compete in sports at schools.
The CBC’s Jayme Poisson explains the timing of it all.
