Once again, the progressive left seems to be at odds with reality.
In the latest chapter of controversial stances, former women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe is making headlines by advocating for the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports. Despite her background in a sport that demands speed, strength, agility, and endurance, Rapinoe appears unbothered by the biological differences that typically exist between men and women.
The issue seems straightforward: individuals with an X and a Y chromosome are male and should compete in men’s sports, while those with two X chromosomes are female and should participate in women’s sports. There’s no need for the term “biological females”—biology already defines the sexes.
These scientific facts seem to have sparked another passionate response from Rapinoe.
Although she had more to say, her comments clearly indicate a disregard for scientific and biological realities. Let’s take a closer look at her perspective.
These are facts, and it was these facts that prompted yet another outburst from Rapinoe.
“They announced a new policy that they’re calling, I can’t even believe that they’re calling it this because it has nothing to do with protecting women, I feel like two people, who played at the very highest level for every competition that you possibly could, don’t agree with this and never felt like this was an issue at all, ‘The Protection of the Female [Women’s] Category.’”
Rapinoe dismissed the notion that the policy was rooted in science and said the IOC was subjecting women to “invasive testing.”
She had more to say, but these few words are enough to establish that she has no interest in science, in biology, in reality. Let’s deconstruct her statement, shall we?
