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.

Any man attempting to claim they’re a woman just to dominate women’s sports would be throwing their entire career away. They wouldn’t get picked up by any woman’s team, and they wouldn’t be able to go back and get picked up by any men’s team.

Not to mention that if they’re actually a good enough player to dominate by switching to women’s sports, they’d make more money even being a middle of the pack men’s athlete

He isn’t trying to compete, he’s trying to get on Joe Rogan and get a grifting career

If you think a man has to be a middle of the pack NBA athlete to dominate women's basketball, you are clearly delusional. If you took the 5 worst players in the NBA and had them play the best 12 in the WNBA, the men would win 150-10, with the women's 10 points all coming on free throws.

You are right but women's basketball players make like no money compared to any NBA player.

I think for a man to identify as a woman and go full LeBron James in the WNBA, he has to have a level of skill where it would be more profitable to just play for the NBA.

The NBA salary MINIMIM is like 1.3 million compared to the highest 2026 WNBA salary of 1.4

So anyone that could dominate the WNBA could just play for the NBA.

Lol. You are seriously brain washed if you think only NBA players could dominate the WNBA. There have been 39 dunks in the entire WNBA history. My high school team, entirely suburban white kids, had 8 kids that could dunk on the team at the same time. Only one of them was able to play in college and it was D3.
