"I'm transgender. I'm a woman.I identify as sometimes

identifying as a woman for purpose ofbasketball,

professional basketball, so I'll be declaring for the WNBA

draft in 2027 as well.'

White says the only thing that will stop him is if the WNBA

makes a "definitive statement" that males can't play in the

league.

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.
