Former NBA first-round pick and Minnesota Republican U.S. Senate candidate Royce White is taking his mockery of the WNBA’s incoherent gender policies to the next level.
The 6-foot-8, 35-year-old is now testing out a blonde wig and declaring he’s entered his “feminine era” as he prepares for the 2027 WNBA Draft.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday that White announced he has plans to enter the WNBA draft.
“As I stated a few days ago, I am declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft,” said former NBA player and current Republican Senate candidate in Minnesota, Royce White.
“I identify as a sometimes identifying transgender woman! My wig is in the mail,” he said.
Royce White said he will pursue legal action if the WNBA denies his bid.
“I have to file a discrimination lawsuit, right? I mean, that’s, that’s ridiculous,” Royce White said. “We’re gonna have to have a huge legal battle about discrimination if I can’t play.”
In a post on X Sunday, White shared a photo of himself sporting the new hairpiece while still rocking a full beard.
It came y’all… My 1st wig! Tomorrow I test it on the court. This is my feminine era glow up, did I slay? If y’all don’t “yassss queen” you’re transphobic. I really don’t understand all the hatred, I just want to play some hoops with my fellow ladies.

On the same day, Royce White joined Fox News to discuss his bid for a starting slot in the WNBA, arguing that until the league can “define the W in the name,” they should let him and other male basketball stars play.
White began by trolling the transgender insanity, telling Fox’s Griff Jenkins, “Right now, I’m just having a blast in my feminine era. I never thought that I was a woman.”
“You know, I’ve always trusted the science, and I thought I was a man my entire life. But you know, after further review, you know, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear that I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman,” he continued. “And I think it’s only fair I get a chance to play with some of my queens here in the twilight of my career, my athletic prime.”
On a more serious note, White told Jenkins, “It’s just astounding that the WNBA can’t define the W in the name, and I think we’re going through a very necessary conversation about who’s actually eligible to play in some of these professional sports leagues, I guess, on both sides of the gender spectrum.”
“But my goal is to help elevate the WNBA. I think the ticket prices and the attendance, you know, will soar. I think the audience, the live audience, will increase, and I think ultimately it’s good for the game. It’s going to help evolve the game,” he argued.
White further said that Enes Kanter Freedom and Lebron James, when he “wakes up one day and realizes he’s a you know a woman as well,” should be allowed to play.
