Royce White Wears Blonde Wig While Sitting Courtside at Fever-Sun Game After Declaring for 2027 WNBA Draft
“They better bow for a beautiful Black Trans Lesbian,” he wrote on social media
Royce White donned a blonde wig while sitting courtside for the Indiana Fever's game against the Connecticut Sun on August 28, 2026. The 35-year-old former NBA player declared his intention to be drafted in the 2027 WNBA draft, sparking debates about transgender athletes in sports. White shared a photo on Instagram, writing, "The Kweeeen has arrived!
They better bow for a beautiful Black Trans Lesbian! Royce White For President. WNBA #LetRoyshaPlay." He stated, "Black trans lesbians matter. We've always mattered, we've always existed. We have a right to exist and be included and participate." White's appearance comes after he and Enes Kanter Freedom were reportedly told they are ineligible for the WNBA draft.
Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz agreed to provide legal assistance for White's bid to join the league, calling him an inspirational voice for Black transgender lesbians aspiring to play in the WNBA.
