Doi foști jucători NBA spun că se identifică drept femei și vor să joace în liga feminină de baschet / Până în prezent, nicio femeie transgender nu a evoluat în WNBA

Former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White announced their intention to enter the WNBA draft as women, but league sources stated they are ineligible. The WNBA's current collective agreement allows only women to play, and there are no specific rules regarding gender identity. The league plans to review the issue with stakeholders but will not be swayed by external pressures. The controversy escalated when Freedom was removed from a game for wearing a shirt defining 'woman' and engaging in a verbal altercation with a player. No official sanctions have been announced against him yet.
