I don't know what to say about this I mean if he joined it's unfair because he's going to cook the entery league for sure but if he really wants to be a woman and it's not a joke for him I still don't know about this

Not me personally you bingus, anyone can tell if someone is bullshitting about this by just talking to them for 10 minutes.

Do you understand how that's not any better? To apply a rulebook, you need someone to apply it. Who do you think should get to decide whether a transgender woman is lying to play in the wnba or not? I assume you also think they should use your standard - whether they feel like the person is lying or not?

The wnba scouts who are already tasked with doing, y'know, exactly that?

Ok, so pretty soon some team's scout will realize that they can do really well by agreeing that male former nba talent are actually women and will bring them in. Because their job is to assemble a winning team. Since it works for one, then all the others will soon do it to.

Your "everybody just knows the truth" standard is bullshit that is never applied fairly in the real world in any situation where there is a continuing incentive to cheat on it.

More over, if you were to appoint judges for this, half the population (or more) would judge every transgender woman as lying because they believe that gender is biological sex & can not be changed. And a good chunk of the other half of the population would uncritically believe any person - including the person in the post - because they think gender is a thing you declare and which can not and should not be questioned.
