Also as per usual, many anti-trans people in this thread are either extremely misinformed or are themselves being intentionally misleading. It's weird seeing people make broad generalizations about what feminists, trans ppl, or any other particular group supposedly believe, when it's painfully obvious they have never been exposed to any of those communities and are relying on second- and third-hand knowledge to inform their opinions

If someone has firsthand knowledge of trans people, are they allowed to be a transphobe (in the parlance of our times)?
Beats me. Consult your root chakra for further information.

Indeed. To wit:

Obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate will remain a serious and lifelong commitment. Trans people will still make a statutory declaration to this effect and people will still be subject to criminal proceedings for lying or making false applications.

You've once again willfully missed my point. I don't care about what the WNBA's actual standards are. I am trying to find logical consistency in your argument, and I am trying to understand at what point you think a person's mental "identity" ought to receive institutional recognition. What standards would you apply?
I cannot speak for Skunk, but I imagine that starting hormone therapy and signing an affidavit should qualify someone for institutional recognition.
