Now that @EnesFreedom announced he’s a woman & entering the draft @wnba has three options, all bad for them. 1. Deny he’s a woman. (Which means they know what a woman is.) 2. Admit men to league. 3. Announce only those born as women are eligible. Which path? Checkmate.
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

Enes has now said she's a woman. If @espn covers this (unlikely), and doesn't refer to Enes as the beautiful woman she is, then they're invalidating her entire existence.
Essentially equivalent to genocide.
@BrendanDarr You don’t have to transition. If he feels like he’s a woman then you need to respect her/his/theys/its feelings. Just like Lia Thomas. You seriously need to stop being racist.
@John_Karalis I think this is a good thing. It will actually make the WNBA and women’s sports actually admit what a woman is. If he can’t put on a dress and say he is a woman and play basketball then why can any other man do it? Why can men play dress up and swim on women’s swim team?
