Enes Kanter Freedom publicly urged WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert to join a “peace summit” on who can play in the women’s league, and said Caitlyn Jenner would moderate the discussion, according to a post he shared on X on August 31, 2026, cited in the source document.
“Let the public hear both sides”
Addressing Engelbert and the WNBA task force, Freedom said, “I would like to offer you a peace summit, moderated by my friend @Caitlyn_Jenner. I’ve already spoken with her, and she’s in.” He framed the proposed meeting as an open, on‑the‑record discussion about “men in women’s sports,” adding, “Let’s put everything on the table and let the public hear both sides.”
In the same message, Freedom told Engelbert, “You have turned the #WNBA into a laughingstock,” and closed with, “Name the time. Name the place. Let’s talk. Are you in?” These quotations are taken from the post as reproduced in the source. The source also notes Jenner is “not to be confused with Caitlin Clark.”
What the source claims about league rules
The source article asserts the WNBA “has not announced who qualifies to be in the WNBA and who doesn’t” and “hasn’t decided what the definition of a woman is.” It also claims Freedom “labeled himself eligible for next year’s WNBA draft,” was “escorted from” a game he attended, and was told he was ineligible to play. The source cites a separate report that two former NBA players are “reportedly not eligible to play in the WNBA.” No league statement or documentation is included in the provided material.
What’s next
The source does not include a response from Engelbert or the WNBA to Freedom’s invitation, nor independent confirmation of Jenner’s participation. The referenced X post is cited with a shortlink (pic.twitter.com/fuQxVnqmJI) in the source.
