Hugh Laurie backs Cunningham, says men shouldn’t compete in women’s sports

Hugh Laurie publicly backed WNBA player Sophie Cunningham in the transgender-athlete debate, writing that men should not compete against women and praising Cunningham after she said she opposes biological men in women’s sports. Cunningham, who told ESPN she aims to extend love while advocating for truth and to protect young girls in locker rooms, has faced backlash for her views. A New York Times poll cited in the piece notes broad public support for excluding men from women’s sports.
