Enes Kanter, who last played for the Boston Celtics, has trouble finding a new team in the NBA after being left unsigned in 2022, so he turned to activism.
However, unlike his other advocacies, his latest involvement did not sit well with many followers.
This time, he is going after transgender women in sports.

He wrote:
"Men don't belong in women's spaces. Restrooms - locker room or sports.
"Since I'm blackballed from the @NBA, should I put on a wig, identify as a woman, and start dominating the @WNBA?
"Is that when the outrage will begin?
"Is that fair to all the women who spent their whole life chasing their goals?
"Where are all the Women Rights Activists and Feminists?"
Kanter's noise definitely rattled some
He got the attention he was aiming for in his latest statement.
Some said he does not understand the issue of transgenderism.
"My guy. It's not about putting on a wig. It's about an intrinsic identity equating with a physical appearance. I generally appreciate your platform & activism but have you realize that Trans rights are an intersectional feminist issue," a female's comment that made it to the top said.
Right-wing people, on the other hand, agreed with him.
"Spot on correct, I see lots of haters responsing to your 100% truthful post. That means that you're speaking the truth! Keep it up! Anyone who doesn't believe what you just said; Is living in an alternate reality," it said.
Kanter has gone political ever since, finding shelter in right-wing politics.
He became an American citizen in November 2021 and changed his official name to Enes Kanter Freedom, a word American Republicans and conservatives love to sing.
