Boosie Badazz Speaks On Trans Women Athletes “Please Keep Juwanna Mans Out The WNBA”

Boosie Badazz says “Please keep them Juwanna Mans out the WNBA,” he wrote in a post shared  referring to the 2002 sports comedy about a man impersonating a woman to play basketball after he was suspended from the men’s league. “U was made a man to play against one… Go try out for the NBA n match up against Wemby.” He suggested that any trans women athletes are “hating on women’s sports” by vying to compete in the category of their gender identity. “Y’all go too far n it’s sad,” he wrote. “These girls been playing against women they whole life… just look at that girl from France that’s a dam linebacker #straightpride. The rapper appeared to be referring to the 34-year-old French transgender basketball player Julie Tétart, who was recently dragged into the ongoing debate on trans athletes even though she doesn’t currently play in the WNBA. Tétart’s name entered the debate via OutKick, the Fox News-owned sports outlet. Tétart currently plays for Monaco in the French women’s basketball Ligue 2 and was asked whether she would play in the WNBA if contacted. She reportedly said she would but that she’s “old” and that there are “far better players” than her in the world of women’s basketball. OutKick later published an article accusing WNBA figures supportive of trans athletes of being “performative.” Controversy surrounding the acceptance of trans athletes has ramped up after Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham voiced her opposition to trans women competing in women’s sports. She told reporters she believes it’s “kind of common sense” and that she’ll “always believe” trans women don’t have a place in sports.
