Angel Reese gesturing

Angel Reese has only just arrived in the WNBA, but she’s already taken a stand, coming to the defense of her former pros on social media.

Reese, drafted No. 7 overall by the Chicago Sky last month, was one of the more outspoken female players in college and has shown no signs of slowing down now that she’s in the WNBA.

A video of Dallas Wings players Kalani Brown and Teaira  McCowan posing for photos on media day surfaced on Twitter/X on Thursday, and one fan tried clowning them, stating, “They’re letting trans [athletes] in the WNBA.”

X’s Community Notes quickly checked the user with the following:

“These are both BIOLOGICAL  black women #21 being kalani brown and #15 being Teaira McCowan. False rumors about black women are extremely damaging.”

Reese also stepped up to defend the players, calling fans out for being “weird” and “insecure” as she pointed out that black women can be both “tall” and “fine.”
