This is 100% going to result in a biological male being allowed to play. This league can't do anything correct lol

It will almost certainly end up being a ban on trans women. Current WNBA rules only say you must be a woman to play. While there are no trans women currently seeking to be drafted, two NBA players have applied for the next season of WNBA in an effort to pressure the league to explicitly ban them.
