Layshia Clarendon Gained Support From Liberty, WNBA and WNBPA for Top Surgery

Layshia Clarendon, a New York Liberty guard and WNBPA first vice president, revealed Friday via Twitter that they’ve undergone successful top surgery.

"I’m usually not scared to share news publicly but the amount of hate, myths & ignorance actually had me debating sharing this joy," Clarendon wrote. "I had Top Surgery! I’m feeling free & euphoric in my body & want Trans people to know and see that we’ve always existed & no one can erase us!"

When Clarendon made the announcement about his surgery, the Liberty, the WNBPA and WNBA commissioner all released statements of support.
