Hundreds of people gathered outside Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday before the New York Liberty’s game against the Indiana Fever to support transgender individuals in sports and the broader community. The rally was organized by the Trans Safety Alliance NYC. Attendees chanted slogans such as “Get up, get down! We love trans people in this town!” and held signs reading “Trans people belong here,” “Equality means inclusivity,” and “Ban bigots not trans women.” About 100 participants were reported. A non‑binary lifelong New Yorker said the rally was one of his first experiences joining a trans‑focused action. Participants distributed shirts and signs and used a bubble blaster as fans entered the arena. New York Liberty power forward Breanna Stewart said the league should serve as a safe space for all fans and players, noting that many attendees come to feel they can be themselves. He added that the game itself offered a tangible moment of catharsis with a clear winner and loser. Kristen Blush, a New York Liberty season‑ticket holder, said she purchased a “trans kids belong” shirt and found it meaningful to see a larger gathering of supporters. Danielle, a public high school teacher and parent of a transgender child, described the event as a celebration of trans life and noted that many students do not view anti‑trans attacks as relevant. She added that the new generation of young people understands gender and sexuality differently and may lead future change. The U.S. Supreme Court previously upheld Idaho and West Virginia state laws that prohibit transgender girls from participating on girls’ school sports teams, reinforcing restrictions on transgender participation in sports. The New York Liberty defeated the Indiana Fever 109‑102 later that evening.
