Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams has refused to apologize for her public support of transgender athletes, declaring "If I pissed off a bigot, great" in a recent statement.
The comment came after the Valkyries' game seven of the 2026 WNBA Finals against the Atlanta Dream at Chase Center in San Francisco on October 31, 2026. Williams, who wore jersey number 1, has been vocal about LGBTQ+ inclusion in sports.
Williams' stance has drawn both praise and criticism, highlighting the ongoing debate over transgender participation in women's sports. The 2026 WNBA Finals marked a high-profile platform for her advocacy.
