Ep. 87 – Why the WNBA won’t define the word ‘woman’

On Sunday, former NBA center Ennis Freedom, he used to be Ennis Cantor, used to play for the Oklahoma City Thunder, my favorite basketball team.

Ennis Freedom attended a WNBA game between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever.

He wore a shirt that said, woman, noun, adult human female.

So he wore the definition of woman on his shirt.

Now during the third quarter of the game, sky guard Natasha Cloud started screaming at him.

He stood up from his courtside seat, extended his arms and took one step forward.

Security then kicked him out of the arena.

Now this isn't going to be the last the WNBA hears about Freedom.

Earlier this month, Ennis Freedom announced that he is a woman and declared his eligibility for the WNBA draft.

Now there's no doubt that Freedom would physically dominate WNBA players.

He stands at 6 feet 10 inches tall and during his playing career weighed 250 pounds.

If he played in the WNBA, it'd be like prime Shaq playing against middle school students.

Now, the WNBA's collective bargaining agreement says only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA.

Now, if you have been with us for a while, I hope that that grade eight question, question five is just jumping right to your mind.

What do you mean by that? WNBA, when you say only women are eligible to play in the WNBA, what do you mean by woman? Now, for the vast majority of human history, everyone understood.

People still understand what a woman is, even if they won't admit it, right? But everyone would have said, okay, yes, there are men and there are women, and his freedom is a man, so he's not eligible.

But the left, many on the left, have decided that men who declare themselves to be women are actually women, are women, just as much of a woman as my wife is.

just as much as a woman as your mother.

And therefore those men who say they're women, since they're actually women, they must be treated as such and to not do so is discriminatory.

Okay, so there's a lot of issues here, but what I want to do is I want to look at this argument that what Ennis Freedom is doing isn't protecting women.

He's out to instigate, divide and marginalize.

Now, normally I will just present the argument from the other side, but today I'm going to take an argument by Jerry Brewer writing in The Athletic, which is a major sports publication, and that's his argument.

He's attacking freedom, and he says that freedom is out to instigate, divide, and marginalize.

And I want to walk through this argument, and then I want us to think about this argument.

All right, so this is what Brewer writes.
