What is Brittney Grinner’s gender?

Contrary to the assumptions people have made, WNBA star Brittney Griner is not transgender. She is 6 feet 9 inches tall, Brittney is a cisgender female who is not identified as transgender. However, the 32-year-old WNBA professional has been part of the LGBTQ+ community as part of her sexuality.

Brittney Griner was one of the first lesbian players to come out openly in the league. Brittney was first married to WNBA player Glory Johnson, but their marriage was short lived as the couple got divorced in 2016. After getting engaged to Cherelle Watson in 2018, the couple is now married and living happily. Cherelle pursued her career as a math professor and is not from a WNBA profession.

Brittney never claimed herself to be transgender, and neither has she made any comment on the rumors. She has been actively supporting the LGBTQ+ community since she first came out as a lesbian back in 2013, during one of her interviews with Sports Illustrated.
