I think this story puts pressure on NBA commissioner Silver. If the LGBTQ-rights people are supporting the action by the cyclist policy, will they put pressure on other sport-related entities to change their ways for transgenders? 

Silver was massively upset over North Carolina's law related to transgender people so much he relocated the All-Star game out of North Carolina. Silver doesn't care who uses what bathroom in Charlotte (no matter who the person "feels" like) but Silver's massively sexist league continued its ways. 

When you have a woman; a 101 percent woman; a woman who acts, talks and thinks like a woman; a woman who has the evidence she is a woman when you look down her pants - she can't play in the NBA. She has to play in the women's professional league. 

Silver wants people included with equality and respect and no discrimination. But that's only for ticket buyers. As for the players on the court, all of that is thrown out the window.
