WNBA Rules Only Biological Women are Eligible for Competition

Sports10 hours ago

Commissioner Cathy Engelbert informed members of Congress that Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are ineligible to compete in the WNBA because they are men. In a formal letter to Republican lawmakers, the league clarified that only biological women are eligible to play, ending months of internal deliberations regarding gender definitions and eligibility criteria.

Kanter Freedom contested the ruling in a statement to OutKick, arguing that the league cannot determine his gender while remaining unable to define what a woman is. Despite the formal ineligibility ruling and reports of receiving death threats linked to his support of transgender athletes, Kanter Freedom is currently preparing for the WNBA Finals.
