Royce White links fear of flying to transgender identity as he aims for the WNBA draft
Royce White, the former NBA guard, said on his podcast that his fear of flying stemmed from a transgender inner self and stated he would enter the 2027 WNBA Draft as transgender, following Enes Kanter Freedom’s similar plan. The remarks sparked controversy online and included a brief exchange with Robin Lopez; White, drafted 16th overall by the Rockets in 2012 but who played only three NBA games, later pursued politics as a Republican Senate candidate.
