The hypocritical be-kind brigade refuses to see whats right in front of them in trans athlete debate

I wish Enes Kanter Freedom did not take the bait from Chicago Sky’s Natasha Cloud.During a game last week against the Indiana Fever, she shouted vulgar comments at the former NBA player, who was sitting in the crowd behind the basket.He chirped back and showed off his massive wingspan and his T-shirt, emblazoned with the definition of the word “woman” (“adult human.female”).Kanter Freedom was booted — and promptly became the story.Critics have said that he’s using the protect women’s sports movement for clout.
