I love these guys… I mean, gals… Comedy is the way through this insanity.

The suggested men of the WNBA are not the trolls. They are known, visible, and public.

They are agitating against the unnamed, hidden cowards who hide within committees within pseudo-medical organizations, within vast medical institutions, behind instantaneous diagnoses, fraudulent billing records, and unnecessary surgeries designed by Satan & performed by Dr Frankensteins to create a new societal class of eunuchs incapable of reproduction & chemically dependent for the rest of their lives.

Those hidden cowards, Frankensteins, & their enablers throughout the process are the trolls.

I love it! More men need to stand up and point out the absurdity. I applaud them for being brave enough to face down the trolls.

It’s truly unfortunate that both these (almost?) NBA-caliber men also happen to be Republican supporters β€” not that their politics invalidates the actions they’ve taken, but that it provides β€œallies” with a readymade excuse for ignoring them.

That’s said I’m also a realist: if either were to play, they might not be the single best player in the league, but they’d still be dominant.

Which again, would be used to support β€œsee, men aren’t always better than women” (we’ve all seen this with the study comparing fit women to unfit trans identifying males).

Seriously, Serena & Martina & Nancy Hogshead & on & on: they aren’t anti-female, they’re just biology realists!

Unraveling the mess queer and gender ideology has made necessarily involves putting the insane contradictions its' proponents rely on to the test. I hope they don't back down. Trans activists were the ones that decided to use self-id as the foundation of their systematic dismantling of cultural norms. It is far past time for that ridiculous decision to come home to roost. It isn't enough to ask and answer the question 'what is a woman' in a courtroom. That question needs to be asked in a way and in venues where people can actually see the real life impact of nodding along politely to the cult-like chant "trans women are women.' By adopting, to some extent, the TRA's own rhetoric and turning it back against them the entire house of cards falls apart.

This just makes me so happy :) I am a huge House fan, and Hugh Laurie fan in general, so that alone is comforting, but I am also so proud of these men for standing up and demonstrating the absurdity of self-ID.

Your daughter sounds wise beyond her years!

Good on your daughter! Humor (though not humor alone) gets a person through a lot of awful things. Especially shared humor. It's good to be on the joke.

I thought you wanted us all to be kindly Good Samaritans, though.

I don’t get it when you give us morality lectures and then turn around and support mocking stunts like this.

Do you change your mind a lot? How do you reconcile these contradictory articles a couple days apart from each other?

I have to admit I have misgivings about how this is being done.

In a case like the WNBA, preventing males from playing matters, and if nobody else will face facts, your political opponents will. Fair enough.

But it’s not hard to see the malice behind this particular ploy, and when you say pull this stunt for β€œevery sport”, how far down the list do you mean? Roller Derby does not seem to care one whit about sex, so if that’s what they want to do, let them! Having a guy β€œtransition” in a sport where no one cares and there’s no large monetary stakes (scholarships included) is just being a jerk, as far as I can see.

Miss White and Miss Kanter are stunning and brave.

Royce White’s former partner has a no contact order against him for alleged abuse. He also never scored any points in the NBA, has now said he’s going to run for president, and said that Jews use the Holocaust to cover up for corruption. So yeah, I think this might be a stunt. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/04/23/us-senate-candidate-royce-white-is-under-order-to-avoid-ex-wife-their-son-over-threats.

Prior acts of sexual violence or other violence against women doesn’t preclude a male prisoner from declaring a female identity and being transferred into women’s prisons, so why would it preclude a male basketball player with a self-declared female identity from playing women’s basketball?
