French trans basketball player Julie Tétart is waiting for a call from one of the inclusive WNBA teams who needs a 6'3 scoring and rebounding machine.
During the 2025-26 season for a club team in Monaco, Tétart dominated the second-tier French women's basketball Ligue 2 by dropping 21 points per game while grabbing 20 rebounds. The biological male, who came out as trans in October 2021, led the league in both categories. It was as season unlike any the Ligue 2 had ever seen.
With those numbers, the WNBA should be knocking down Tétart's door, right?

"If they contact me, I won't say no. But you have to be realistic: I'm old, and there are far better players than me!" the overly humble 34-year-old Tétart told OutKick in French over Instagram direct messages on Monday.
Far better? Are you sure?
Tétart's season was so dominant that French media was stunned when the shredded center didn't win league MVP honors. The season was still good enough to win Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Domestic Player of the Year.
Woke WNBA fans swear there's no clear and present trans danger to biological women. They swear this is some sort of delusion cooked up by MAGA.

Meanwhile, Tétart destroyed Ligue 2 so badly that there were collusion allegations being made against league captains and coaches who voted on the MVP award.
Those same voters are alleged to have excluded 43-year-old trans player Aurore Pautou (14.4 PPG, 7.7 RPG) from winning postseason awards. French trans groups are furious. "Despite top-tier athletic performance on the court during the 2025/2026 season by Julie and Aurore, voters for the Ligue 2 Féminine de Basket Awards deliberately decided not to grant them any awards," activist group TRANSpire cried on Instagram.
Former WNBA player Audrey Sauret, who's French, spoke out in April after the MVP drama and sounded a warning to leagues around the world as to what's coming if they don't protect biological females .
"Ligue 2 serves as a kind of testing ground, to introduce trendy ideas, but by allowing them to participate in professional competitions, we create unfair competition, especially for younger players," Sauret wrote . "This can close doors and discourage aspiring athletes. This situation risks becoming commonplace, even if it’s regulated. Men and women aren’t built the same way. Changing hormones doesn’t erase gender differences. I regret that this issue wasn’t addressed much sooner."

During a March game that should've been a trans showdown, Tétart had 21 points and 30 rebounds, which was a new league record, breaking the previous record of 25 rebounds (Tétart held that record, as well), but Pautou didn't play.
The question we had for Tétart was simple: Would you ever consider trying out for the inclusive WNBA? The trans scoring and rebounding machine seemed confused at first before realizing we were 100% serious.
"Obviously, it's a childhood dream just like for any female basketball player, but unfortunately, it's not possible," the French native wrote back.
Wait a minute, why not? The WNBA is inclusive. What are we missing here?

"The league, yes. The country, no, haha," Tétart fired back while hinting at some sort of problem with Donald Trump's presidency.
When pressed on what would need to change politically in the U.S., Tétart stopped playing games with me, finally admitting that if a WNBA call came, it would be time to talk business: "I won't say no."
As for Sophie Cunningham's stance that biological males need to stay out of women's sports , I gave Tétart a chance to respond. "Aucun," the French stat stuffer replied.
Translation: "None."
Imagine a Tétart vs. Cunningham matchup in 2027. It's time for the WNBA to once and for all prove just how inclusive it is. Tétart's DMs are wide open.
