Former NBA players are publicly announcing their plans to play in the WNBA.

Enes Kanter Freedom is the first one:

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.

Royce White is the second one:

I wish them both the best.

I also hope that more NBA players will do this. Transwomen need to have the same rights as everyone else.

This is funny, it seems that a lot of these guys were annoyed at the way the media plays up the WNBA farce and are doing a very normal guy type of thing to mess with them, I hope they take it all the way and don’t let up.

A “trans woman” is nothing more or less than a queer, with an extra layer of mental illness. How many NBA players see willing to admit that they are fags?

A person must be in a peculiar mindset to watch a WNBA game. The Fever play at 2:30 today.

The WNBA will have to fish or cut bait. They’ve been virtue signaling for years and now they will have to back it up. My guess they will tell the teams not to draft them.

Expected response from WNBA: “These are not real trans women.”

What does it take to play on a team with Sophie Cunningham? Asking for a very good friend!

That would be hilarious if that were, in fact, the WNBA’s response. The follow up would be “So let me get this straight (pardon the pun)...you don’t know what a real woman is, but you know what a real trans woman is?”

That only works until someone leaks it. Then it blows up in their face. Their hypocrisy will be exposed, and they will have potential lawsuits on their hands which will cost them money if they win, and even more money if they lose. And which will force the judges to say whether or not they can tell the difference in human plumbing.

They should show up at the draft dressed as women and simply announce that they're a woman (i.e., that they're as delusional as an "official" "trans" guy).

But even if it involved an actual "trans" (i.e., mentally ill; delusional) former NBA player who is drafted by a WBA team, the outcome would be the same ... not just for the game, but for the people who pander to these seriously mentally ill, delusional "trans" people who know they will hurt women with their delusional antics.

Next step is for Tyler Adams — Captain of the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team — to come out as Taylor Adams and demand to be named to the women’s national team.

How true.

Does the WNBA have an antitrust exemption?

Yep. It will be done quietly. Nothing in writing. “Wink and a nod” stuff. And they’ll probably get away with it.

Nevertheless, I applaud what these guys are doing. The woke left deserves it.

I don't think they have to prove that they actually honk on bobo.
