To be fair, he was born from a woman, so he is indeed, half woman.
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.

So many of the WNBA players and coaches were so appalled by Sophie Cunningham advocating for women and thought she was being a big bigot. This is their chance to put their money where their mouth is. Put Enes Kantor Freedom in the league. If they refuse, they hate trans people.
Hopefully, many more men who feel like a woman will come forward in the name of inclusion. The minimum salary is $270,000. Surely, many more corporations will jump on board with brand deals for these revolutionary players. They should easily clear a million their first year.
Amazing. Well done. https://t.co/BAfMts0Tbs

Genius. Perfect. Waiting to see which WNBA team recruits @EnesFreedom. https://t.co/3Qv9W5nXGr

This will be exciting to watch! Maybe Cheryl Reeve of the WNBA Lynx will be the first taker. She wore the trans t-shirt and publicly confronted Sophie Cunningham, after all. Show us you're not all talk, Cheryl!

Or, perhaps Stefanie Dolson, the WNBA player who wore the 'trans rights' tank top will advocate for her team to pick up a trans player.
Congratulations!

I would absolutely pay to go see him play in the WNBA https://t.co/6tvrl1Daz3
Surely, there are more talented men who are also half women (as all men are) who are willing to join Enes in taking the league to the next level. This is literally going to change the face of the game.
No matter how bad you’re doing, you are probably not this big of a loser. Chin up. It could be worse. https://t.co/FNDDiRP5wm

The guitarist for a band called 'God Forbid' thinks this is loser behavior. It seems pretty great to make 300,000 dollars for playing a game.
🤣 Do it.@WNBA, your move. https://t.co/S2E0UX6TPa

If they don't, they're transphobic.
Introducing your next WNBA MVP: Miss Enes Kanter. She’s brave, strong and ready to ball. The @WNBA will of course start a bidding war for the best talent they’ve ever had… right? They definitely mean it when they say there’s no athletic difference and bio men must play… right? https://t.co/UX1hYiYAWo

It's time for them to put up or shut up.

Any WNBA team that refuses to draft Enes Kanter is not actually committed to winning. https://t.co/6VsHkEwEJP

And also, they're massive bigots.
Enes has now said she's a woman. If @espn covers this (unlikely), and doesn't refer to Enes as the beautiful woman she is, then they're invalidating her entire existence.

Essentially equivalent to genocide. https://t.co/3Qv9W5nXGr
Your move, ESPN!
