News24 host Rita Panahi discusses JK Rowling's response to a confrontation involving teenage protesters at a WNBA game and the broader debate over transgender participation in women's sport. “We spoke last week about the horrific scenes at a WNBA game where the co-owner of the Seattle Storm was filmed berating a group of teenage girls,” Ms Panahi said. “The girls were there wearing shirts and holding up signs supporting women's sport and WNBA player Sophie Cunningham. “Harry Potter author and women's rights advocate JK Rowling has weighed into the saga, tweeting, ‘These young women are heroines. They're peacefully protesting against the grotesque unfairness of men playing in women's sport.’”
