MEN INVENT A PROBLEM, THEN TRY TO MAKE IT REAL
There are no men playing in the WNBA. Yet Enes Kanter and now Royce White are announcing plans to enter the 2027 draft as actors in a broader anti-trans narrative that falsely portrays women’s sports as being overrun by men.
Kanter averaged 11.2 points and 7.8 rebounds across 748 NBA games but never became an All-Star. White played nine total minutes across three NBA games and recorded zero points, rebounds or assists. Royce White is going to lose his campaign so this is a political stunt.
Neither man identifies as trans, nor sincerely identifies as a woman. This is a calculated dog whistle aimed at mocking trans people and manufacturing outrage. They think they’re playing 4D chess, but they’re literally men attempting to force themselves into women’s sports so they can pretend their invented threat was real all along.
Pretty simple. The right is constantly inventing totally crazy scenarios of gotcha moments that won’t happen to create a sense of hysteria.
Here are the facts:
— A trans woman has never played in the WNBA. In 30 years.
— Trans women are barred from competing in women’s sports in the NCAA and the Olympics.
— 29 states have banned trans girls participation in women’s sports K-12.
— The Supreme Court ruled states can exclude trans girls from participating in women’s sports.
Y’all won. Y’all got it. So why is the right still crying and whining about an argument that is backed by law and policy at virtually every level?
Wait, I have an answer. They want to erase trans existence period and no amount of exclusion, degradation, or denigration will ever be good enough for them.
SO they create these dumb, illogical, stupid-ass scenarios because there actually isn’t enough there for them to make a salient point. It’s fear-mongering bullshit that is designed to create a hostile environment for trans people. It’s weak.
What do you mean one of the Phillippou brothers did a death match spot for a documentary and sent a retired female professional wrestler into a week-long crash out?
