During an interview with &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom,&#8221; Freedom\u2064 proposed the idea of wearing a \u200cwig, adopting the name \u2064&#8221;Enisha,&#8221; and trying out for the WNBA. He believed that\u200c this bold move would finally awaken people&#8217;s \u200coutrage when they witnessed\u2063 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-is-off-to-a-fast-start-with-executive-orders-but-does-he-know-whats-in-them-and-can-he-explain-how-any-help-the-average-american\/\" title=\"Biden Is Off to a Fast Start with Executive Orders But Does He know What\u2019s In Them and Can He Explain How Any Help the Average American?\">biological male<\/a> not only taking a spot from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/female-athletes-denounce-biden-executive-order-on-gender-identity\/\" title=\"Female athletes denounce Biden executive order on gender identity\">biological female<\/a> but also dominating in professional women&#8217;s sports.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Are the Women&#8217;s Rights Activists?<\/h3>\n<p>Freedom questioned the absence of women&#8217;s rights activists and feminists in this debate. He wondered \u2063if it would be fair for him, a seven-foot, two-hundred-and-seventy-pound individual, to identify as a woman, play in the WNBA, and\u2063 potentially hinder the dreams of women who \u200dhave been pursuing their goals\u2063 since childhood. He \u200bfound it intriguing \u200bthat such a discussion even\u2064 existed.<\/p>\n<p>Freedom further emphasized his stance by posting a photoshopped image of\u200b himself wearing a wig and smiling, declaring, \u2062&#8221;I&#8217;m identifying myself as a woman! Lol. From now on,\u2063 y&#8217;all can call me ENISHA Freedom. I&#8217;m a 7-foot, 270-pound \u200cbiological male who wants\u2063 to\u200d compete in \u2062women&#8217;s \u200dsports. Hey, @WNBA, are you hiring?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Continuing the Conversation<\/h3>\n<p>This was not the first time Freedom broached this topic. In a \u2062previous \u2062post on his X account,\u2063 he expressed his belief that men should \u2064not be present \u200cin women&#8217;s spaces, including restrooms, locker rooms, and\u200c sports. As he faced being blackballed from\u2063 the NBA, \u2062he pondered whether donning a wig, identifying as \u2064a woman, and dominating the WNBA would finally spark the\u2063 outrage he anticipated. He questioned the fairness of\u200c such a scenario for women\u2062 who have dedicated their\u200b lives to achieving their \u200bgoals. He also called out women&#8217;s rights activists and feminists\u2062 for their apparent silence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the video \u2062below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Enes Kanter Freedom\u200c floats idea of throwing on a \u200cwig, renaming\u200b himself &#8220;Eneshia,&#8221; and claiming he&#8217;s \u2062a woman to force the\u2064 WNBA to\u200c sign him\u2063 to \u200bmake an\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yall-can-call-me-enisha-enes-kanter-freedom-threatens-to-don-a-wig-and-join-the-wnba\/\" title=\"Enes Kanter's freedom threat: \"Call me Enisha,\" as he considers joining the WNBA in disguise.\">anti-trans\u200b athlete statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe I should do it and \u2062it\u200d will show my point, actually.
