Go anti-woke, go broke. A planned anti-trans rally outside of a WNBA game in Seattle, of all places, appears to have been a major flop.

The “rally” took place outside the Climate Pledge Arena ahead of the Seattle Storm v. Indiana Fever game. Even calling it a rally is generous though — per a video posted to Instagram by local news outlet The Burner, attendance was sparse. According to ESPN, the crowd consisted of “a few dozen,” who were there to both voice support for Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and for legislation that would bar trans girls from participating in school sports in Washington state.

These dorks need to find a better hobby than hating trans people. What a pathetic bunch.

There’s no place for transphobia in the Storm fandom. Those few dozen can move to Indiana and root for the Fever, but they’re not welcome here.

Seattle makes me proud quite often and this story is no exception.
