FASCISTS USE SIMPLIFICATION, Reductionism - to reduce complex issues to what they believe are infallible generalized tropes. “Pro-Life” trope is killing women; “2 gender” trope ignores the inconvenient truth that 1.7% of humans are born with both male and female biology; yet, less than 1% are Trans.

As a woman, this doesn't surprise me at all. Surprised that it took this long for some asshole men to act out because the WNBA was becoming well-known and successful. This kind of shit is what women have put up with...... forever. And if you think that people are enlightened in 2026, think again.

Just another bigot hiding his hatred for others he is incapable of understanding behind fake outrage over a cause he doesn't actually believe in. The WNBA started 30 years ago and has only been acknowledge the last couple of years as even existing. He never supported them when he was playing.

republicans are absolutely dying to make this an issue again this election season because their entire thing involves being mad about things that are not happening

What should have happened the white players on either team should have kicked his ass. Used their damn white privilege for good for once. Im proud of this woman regardless but they are going to attack her as the angry black woman and not him. Sorry don’t follow sports so don’t know any names.

Who really cares? He can declare for the draft if he wants but I highly doubt any team will even consider drafting him. Just a forgotten NBA player looking for attention long after the circus has left without him.

If I saw this fool at a game, I would pay no attention. What does that shirt even mean? I would assume he was trying to remind himself he likes girls, not boys, and needs it written down when he goes out.. if you have to explain your protest material for people to understand, you've already failed

Damn isn't being in the NBA enough attention . If you want to be a change agent , talk about importance of vaccines , or help Indiana , or , how about standing up for Women.

It's an apparent bid to get someone to pay attention to him. All it's done is made them look him up, and that's not a good thing for him.

It's beyond me why someone would want to make such a sad spectacle of themselves. I guess he knows he can get on some right-wing podcast and make some money off the cult.

Isn't this the guy who scored zero points in the NBA? A complete washout? A loser who went down in flames in an extremely public way? Why are you talking about what he wants to talk about in your article and not just mocking him?

He cares NOTHING about women’s sports nor about women’s rights. He should be banned from all WNBA arenas for this disruption and if he’s not, that will tell us all we need to know about league leadership (they are feckless).

What’s with all these non-Americans interlopers needling American politics? Like, fuck off already. Go back to Turkey and try to embarrass that government. Oh right, you’d be thrown in prison. Fucking loser

transgender=1% of Americans Some Americans are spending a whole bunch of time on them when the pressing issues are affordability, $40T deficit & climbing, Soc Security will go bankrupt, Trump trying to stop people from voting. For me, when Mr. Kanter gets his penis cut off, he can do women's sports

So, he's going start hormone therapy, dress, and live as a woman 24/7, right? Nah. He's merely another rightwing nutjob who thinks "being trans" is just a dude putting on a dress.

So has he already accepted that he will never play in the NBA? If he thought he had a shot, he wouldn't throw it away for a stupid stunt, would he?

Kantes, picking a culture war fight for another 15 minutes of fame. Goes to show his fight against human rights abuses in China, renouncing Turkeys involvement in the Armenian genocide were just a detour on his 15 minute of fame tour...all he is, just another poster boy bigot for the GOP.

Why do they think we can't define a woman? We've literally said exactly what his shirt said every time we're asked. Adult female includes trans women and does not include trans men. Of course, they don't care about or even remember trans men exist, even though Elliot Page is 1000x the man he is.

These are the same kind of people who opposed marriage equality using an argument that if we give gay couples the right to marriage, it would lead to people marrying animals. None of these people really care about women's sports. BTW, no transgender athletes in the WNBA right now.

Yeah, clearly he needs to take estrogen to get his T-levels down to what is considered within the range of an average woman of his age. He could optionally elect to have a tracheal shave & bottom surgery. Let's check in & see if he's agreeable to that if he's so interested in playing in the WNBA.

You do not seem to understand how testosterone levels work... If that's all it took then men could play.. some men have lower T than some women.. some women have unusually high T so it would probably ban several women unless you set it high enough to let men play.. Maybe sit this one out.

So a nobody, who wishes to be somebody, is capitalizing on marginalized people to project they are somebody. This is why you spend time with your kids folks so they don't become attention seeking chodes.

what a fucking loser. he shld just remove himself from society instead and make someone else happy for the first time in his pathetic life.

He doesn’t even qualify lol. This is sad. He gets kicked out of the NBA and so he tries to join the WNBA. The only problem is Enes Kanter isn’t good. The WNBA doesn’t NEED an out of shape washed up face up rebounder, with feet of cement, and NO jump shot. Try the G League buddy.

His ego and personality are among reasons why people are flocking to watch women’s sports. …Sick tf of grandiose exhibitionist idiots making a scene. … kindof like the goofy guy at a wedding proposing to his girlfriend because he can’t let others have their moment.

most trans women would describe themselves as an "adult human female" so i'm not sure what this shirt even accomplishes

V confirms this claim checks out. Enes Kanter Freedom, a former NBA player, declared for the 2027 WNBA draft in a satirical video challenging transgender eligibility rules, widely interpreted as mocking… Real-time fact-checks on your feed: https://veratify.ai Errors or comments: info@veratify.ai

Does the misogyny ever end? Women cannot be allowed to work, write, speak, perform, or play whenever men are present because men cannot abide the idea we are as good as, if not better than, they are.

I wonder if he knows he’s a minority? One minority hating on another minority group doesn’t help a damn thing. He should be hating on the ones that denied him opportunities to play in the league his dreams got shattered in…. But I guess deflection is the tool he used instead of therapy.

Couldn't make it playing in the MNBA so this is his next attempt at being relevant. Thank God by this time next month, I'll be back to not knowing who this is, like I was last month.

You know you’re a fucking loser when you mock a group of people already threatened. If he were any good as a NBA player he wouldn’t be so desperate for attention now, and if he were smart he’d go back to school and get educated so he wouldn’t keep embarrassing his family.
