2 Men In Dresses Declare For WNBA Draft In Controversial Stunt That Had Security Dumbfounded At Las Vegas Aces Game [VIDEO]
Men in dresses declare for 2027 WNBA draft.
The WNBA has no active transgender women players. However, there are many people actively trying to change.
Public debate intensified after Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham voiced support for her gender. She supports restricting women’s sports and locker rooms to biological females, calling it “common sense.”
Demonstrations for and against inclusion occurred outside games. Many fans were made to cover up their shirts or face being ejected from the arena.

A surprising appearance took place during a recent contest involving the Las Vegas Aces at their home arena. Two men in dresses were trying to make a point about transgender women trying to participate in women’s sports.
The men wore dresses and accessories while holding a basketball as they walked through the stands. Furthermore, footage caught one security guard looking completely confused. Eventually, even she had to laugh at what was happening.
Former NBA Players Want To Be In the WNBA

Former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are not backing down. Both of them have publicly stated an intention to declare for the WNBA Draft in 2027.
Earlier this month, Kanter announced that he had written an official letter to commissioner Cathy Engelbert declaring his eligibility for the 2027 WNBA Draft. He stated that he was attempting to exploit a loophole in the league’s collective bargaining agreement.
The WNBA quickly shut down Freedom’s campaign. They released an official statement clarifying that they have no intention of allowing him to enter. A league task force determined that Freedom’s actions were being done in “bad faith.”
Despite the league’s swift rejection, Freedom has not stopped. He continued to use the situation to fuel an ongoing social media campaign against transgender women’s inclusion in sports.
