"If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA," Freedom stated in a social media post. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I'll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well," White later added. That would mean the WNBA stepped in and told both they were not eligible for the draft because they are very clearly not women. For example, something along the lines of, "Trans women can only enter the draft after showing proper transition history and hormone levels." Saying Freedom and White can't play because they are biological men would shatter the entire narrative.
