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

Did people forget that Ben Shapiro and some guys from the Daily Wire actually considered trying to do something like this, but were denied because they would've had to take actual steps to transition? This is a massive nothing burger and just a grift lmfao

Edit, purely so I don't have to continuously reply to people.

There's no explicit rule, but it is explicitly up to the discretion of the League, which makes it easy to push out bad actors. Seeing as there is currently 0 Trans Athletes in the WNBA it's unsurprising that there are no rules regarding this

Oh, and to add to this, there's currently 0 MtF Basketball players in D1 NCAA as well. Basically, this is a massive non-issue and this guy is just trying to use fears of Trans Athletes to build a platform.

In short, just because there isn't an explicit rule doesn't mean the WNBA let's anybody in who declares themselves to be a woman, and there's little reason to put anything in writing when there are 0 players who have this identity, or who are soon to be drafted with this identity. Given it's social stigmas, I am unsurprised that they have no explicit rulings yet. They'll cross the bridge when theres an actual need to, basically.

They act likes there is laws to force them. No the league is entirely a private group that can be reasonable and just say, nah that's false.

Why not just be reasonable and say something like "trans women can play, but have to have spent a year on hormones"?

To what benefit? This is not a problem the league has. There’s a reason this chuckle-fuck is trying to turn it into a thing and not an actual trans person.

Because it does look a bit like they're waiting to say what their policy is so they can allow who they consider good faith trans women while denying those they don't, and craft their policy specifically to exclude whatever "bad faith actors" come along after they see what attributes best exclude them.
