🚨SEE YOU IN COURT!!!
Just filed a federal complaint.
I’m taking legal action over my ejection from the @chicagosky game while peacefully exercising my First Amendment rights.
My T-shirt did what the whole @WNBA apparently couldn’t: define a woman.
No threats. No violence. Just biology.
And somehow, that required a security escort.
You don’t have to agree with my speech but you don’t get to silence me for it.
I will not be intimidated.
I will not be silenced.
I will continue to stand for women and defend free speech.
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the @WNBA task force,
I am now speaking directly to you.
I’m going to keep this short and sweet, so open your ears and listen carefully.
I would like to offer you a peace summit, moderated by my friend @Caitlyn_Jenner. I’ve already spoken with her, and she’s in.
I’m not a troublemaker. I’m more of a peacemaker.
Listen,
The whole world is laughing at you. You have turned the #WNBA into a laughingstock.
It’s time to stop hiding behind closed-door meetings, excuses, and delays and finally give the public a clear answer.
Let’s have the peace summit.
No shouting. No hiding. No carefully scripted statements.
Let’s sit across the table from each other, have an open and respectful conversation, and address the questions millions of people are asking.
Let’s put everything on the table and let the public hear both sides.
If you truly believe in your position, you should have no problem defending it publicly.
So, Commissioner Engelbert and the WNBA task force, the invitation is officially on the table.
Name the time.
Name the place.
Let’s talk.
Are you in?
UPDATE: I have not received any official or unofficial communication back from the WNBA regarding my eligibility. I will say as a Black Trans lesbian, the rumors of denial for my multi-spirit existence are concerning. I’d also like to remind everyone there is a Trans genocide taking place right now in America. These kind of casual comments lead to violence and our deaths.
If the “sources” are true, I would like to see the league take immediate action to correct anybody who refuses to affirm my identity or use my pronouns pay/me. The WNBA leadership has to show up and 👏🏽 do 👏🏽 the 👏🏽 work. To tell a Black Trans woman she is not a woman or that the Trans experience is a “stunt”, is transphobic, bigoted and racist. It’s literally nazism and white supremacy. I think the commissioner may be demonstrating some white privilege, no? 🧔🏽♀️🏳️⚧️

CNN this is so disgusting and bigoted. 2 cis women refusing to affirm my Black Trans Lesbian identity. 1 of them is White, so that’s her white privilege and the other is a self hating Uncle Tom bootlicker! They are gatekeeping femininity and womanhood.

>Enes Kanter identifies as a woman
>"you're not a REAL woman"
They all know what a woman is, they just lie to you when it's convenient to destroy families and everything you love
EXCLUSIVE: Former NBA first-round pick Royce White says he's declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft, claiming he now identifies as transgender for the purpose of playing professional basketball.
The 6-foot-8 former Houston Rockets draft pick follows fellow former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom, who announced his own plans to declare amid the growing debate over transgender athletes in women's sports.
White told Fox News Digital he believes he'd be "unstoppable" in the WNBA and suggested he could pursue legal action if denied an opportunity to play.
White said the move is meant to challenge the WNBA to clearly define its eligibility rules for transgender athletes, saying: "I'd like to know what the parameters are."
JUST IN: WNBA Commissioner announces the league is meeting to review what a woman is, after multiple former NBA stars announced plans to join the league.
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.
I haven't even been publicly trans for 72 hours and I'm already getting so much hate.
I just want to hoop with my girls in my feminine era! Why can't y'all be happy for me? 💅🏽
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.
