Why does Britney Griner, the towering superstar of the WNBA, always appear with her legs spread at a 45-degree angle, whether on the basketball court or at public events? This isn’t just a matter of personal posture—it’s become a hot topic, sparking heated debates across social media and American news outlets for months. Especially after Caitlin Clark—the new feminine icon of women’s basketball—subtly “called out” three sharp details, suspicions about Griner’s true gender have become the center of controversy, plunging the WNBA into an unprecedented media storm.
The 45-Degree Stance: Personality or Hidden Secret?
Britney Griner’s signature pose—standing with her legs wide apart at a 45-degree angle—has become her personal brand every time she appears. Many body language experts say this stance projects dominance, confidence, and spatial control—traits typically seen in male athletes. Some wonder: Is Griner unconsciously revealing her true gender identity through these gestures?
On forums and social media, the topic “Britney Griner—Man or Woman?” frequently trends at the top. Photos and videos capturing Griner standing with her legs spread, broad shoulders, hands on hips, and a cold expression have divided the online community. Some argue it’s just a personal style, but many insist, “No woman stands like that, especially in front of the media!”
Caitlin Clark “Exposes” Three Details That Set Off a Firestorm
Tensions peaked when Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s rising star, subtly pointed out three unusual aspects about Griner in an interview:
Contrasting Appearance:
-
- Clark always appears with light makeup, well-styled hair, and feminine outfits. Even during breaks, she moves gracefully in high heels, exuding elegance in front of the press. By contrast, Griner never wears makeup, has never been seen in a skirt or shorts, and even in the sweltering summer, insists on wearing thick long pants, never exposing her knees.
Voice and Demeanor:
-
- Clark has a clear, gentle voice, typical of modern American women. Griner, on the other hand, shocks many with her deep, husky, almost masculine voice, causing first-time listeners to do a double-take and question her true gender.
Enormous Shoe Size:
- Clark wears women’s size 9 shoes—a standard for American women. Griner, however, must custom order men’s size 18 shoes, even larger than LeBron James’s size 15. Every step Griner takes draws attention because her “giant” shoes look like small boats, making her stand out even more from her female colleagues.
These details have sent the public into a frenzy, with endless comparisons between the two WNBA stars. Some outspoken fans even ask, “Is Griner really a woman, or just pretending to compete?”
