Former NBA player Royce White took his fight against the WNBA’s gender insanity straight to the league’s doorstep Friday night.
On Friday night, 6-foot-8 former NBA first-round pick Royce “Roysha” White walked into Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis wearing a long blonde wig, a blazer, and a smirk, and the WNBA still cannot define the “W” in its own name.
White sat courtside as the Indiana Fever blew out the Connecticut Sun 111-91. Fans shook his hand. They took pictures. He posed. He scouted. And he said the quiet part out loud.

“The queen has arrived. All hail! Bow to the queen—Roysha!” White told OutKick.
“Well, first of all, Black trans lesbians matter. We’ve always mattered. We’ve always existed. We have a right to exist, and we have a right to be included and participate. That’s what I’m here to do. I’m here to participate—and scout some of the competition as well.”

White’s appearance came after he formally declared his intention to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft as a transgender woman, an obvious effort to force the league to explain who, exactly, qualifies as a woman.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, White announced his WNBA campaign earlier this month and said he was enjoying his “feminine era.”
White explained that he had considered himself a man for his entire life but, “after further review,” determined that he sometimes identifies as a transgender woman for the purpose of professional basketball.
He argued that until the WNBA can clearly “define the W” in its name, former male basketball players should be allowed to compete.
White even predicted that his participation would boost ticket sales, television ratings and attendance.
His attorney, former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, reportedly submitted a formal declaration to the WNBA arguing that White qualifies under the league’s collective bargaining agreement.

White did not get ejected Friday. He smiled for photos in the concourse and told reporters he was “just here to spectate” and “support the Fever.” Asked about fireworks after Kanter’s ejection, he shrugged. “Who cares? It’s life… hopefully you give all glory to God.”
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita was also in the building, along with women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines, backing Cunningham. Rokita has already mocked the league’s “task force” for failing to figure out that only actual women belong in a women’s league.
White has said he will sue if they shut the door. Gaetz has already told the league to preserve records.
This will be an interesting feature of litigation discovery. The @WNBA should preserve its records…..and its Y chromosomes… https://t.co/JKOLSO005j
