Earlier this week, the WNBA, the women’s professional basketball league, announced that two former NBA players were ineligible to play in the league.
Former NBA stars Royce (Roysha) White and Enes Kanter Freedom had announced they were intending to play in the league next year after the WENBA brass refused to condemn biological men playing in the league against women.
The league did not elaborate on the reasons for declaring the two men ineligible.
Since this announcement, news has broken that the league previously allowed trans players to play.
In fact, one of the trans players has been very vocal.
Layshia Clarendon was born a female but decided to have her breasts removed while playing in the WNBA. She played in the league from 2013 to 2024.
Clay Travis posted the tweet earlier on Thursday. Travis believes the WNBA has a major legal problem.
The league allowed Clarendon to play while receiving testosterone, but Royce and Enes are not allowed?
I would like other lawyers to read and analyze this too. If @wnba let a woman identifying as a man play — while receiving testosterone — and called him a man in league releases how can they ban men who say they are women? https://t.co/snCpxHxhvp

Layshia Clarendon was not shy about her transition. She even posted photos of her breast removal while she was playing in the WNBA in 2021.
Layshia was playing for the New York Liberty and then the Minnesota Lynx that year.
I’m usually not scared to share news publicly but the amount of hate, myths & ignorance actually had me debating sharing this joy. I had Top Surgery! I’m feeling free & euphoric in my body & want Trans people to know and see that we’ve always existed & no one can erase us! 🏳️⚧️✊🏽❤️ pic.twitter.com/6ERDPoQGwb

The WNBA needs to explain this.
