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.

Defense of this from a GC biologist, acknowledging it's a stunt, but pointing out that the WNBA doesn't have any written policy. Regardless of what they decide, it seems that it's time to pick a lane.

Some policies are ‘hybrid’: inclusive in some domains and exclusive in others, and some use developmental thresholds like whether an athlete went through male puberty.

The point is: the rules are written down.

Not so for the WNBA.
