- Freedom wore a black shirt stating that a woman is an adult human female and joined a small pregame rally supporting Sophie Cunningham.
- Chicago lost 113-90 to Indiana, while Cloud later met with team and league security and did not speak to the media.

- On Sunday, critics and supporters of Sophie Cunningham’s position on transgender participation in women’s and girls’ sports gathered around and inside Target Center, making it the third consecutive Fever game accompanied by a rally.
- The Lynx, described as the WNBA’s top team, won 108-100 as Cheryl Reeve wore a message supporting trans children and fans in the stands showed similar support for trans children in sports.
- Cunningham and Reeve spoke on the court before the game, with Reeve declining to disclose the conversation’s exact substance while saying they both primarily wanted to educate but did not agree on every point.
- Cunningham was booed on her first touch and throughout the game; afterward, Caitlin Clark said the team’s focus was basketball and that leagues and governing bodies should work with athletes on solutions.
I wasn’t concerned about rallies against transgender participation in women’s sports becoming a distraction for the Fever. I think everyone who knows me personally, they know that I’m full of love. I’m bubbly. I love the people around me. I love basketball. I love inspiring the next generation and doing that in a positive light. And so that doesn’t even cross my mind. Doesn’t cross my teammates’ minds.— Cunningham said Friday in Portland

- The Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of birthright citizenship, which grants automatic citizenship to anyone born in the U.S.
- The Trump Administration claims the policy encourages illegal immigration and birth tourism, but faces strong judicial skepticism.
- Historical debates and legal precedents largely support a narrow interpretation of the 14th Amendment with limited exceptions.
- A majority of the Justices currently appear inclined to uphold the established right and reject drastic changes.
Ask any American what our citizenship rule is and they’ll tell you everyone born here is a citizen alike. That rule was enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment to put it out of the reach of any government official to destroy.— Cecillia Wang, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, as quoted in The New Yorker

- A trans woman with male physical traits caused discomfort in the women's nude area of Marzili pool, resulting in police involvement.
- Bern's city officials apologized to the individual but also questioned police actions and introduced queer-sensitivity training for staff.
- Women reported unease about male anatomical features in their designated area, while authorities suggested that familiarity could reduce fears.
- Opponents argue the city's approach disregards majority opinions and risks harming both women and transgender acceptance.
As a person who has walked that path, I speak from experience: During my transition it would never have occurred to me, out of respect for women, to enter a women's bath.— Ex-trans woman Chris Brönnimann, quoted in the article about the Trans affair at Marzili pool; summarizing the tenor of the debate.
