Eray Ozkural is the founder of [[Special:MyLanguage/Transhuman Foundation|Transhuman Foundation]], together with Jason Wright and [[Special:MyLanguage/Ben Zion|Ben Zion]], which aims an equitable and charitable future based on secular humanism and progressive politics. He has ongoing disputes with the [[Special:MyLanguage/U.S. Transhumanist Party|U.S. Transhumanist Party]] over politics and communication style.<ref>https://transhumanist-party.org/2019/08/12/statement-ozkural/</ref> Ozkural is currently under threat of legal action, due to an abusive stalking and harassment campaign he began in 2016 toward a transhumanist woman from the USA after she disagreed with some of the wording he used in an online forum. Ozkural's generally non-political focus on the target indicates that his transhumanist views aren't the reason for this cyber abuse. Ozkural has attempted to use progressive politics to disguise often unrelated, abusive behavior.
