Debate on Transgender Athletes in Sports

Well, if you think Megan Rapinoe is basically full of crap,

then get ready to see the toilet with me

because I feel like the entire premises, in my opinion, is transphobic

because if you look at participation, right,

in the top level, high level sports, right,

there are over 500,000 people who are participating in NCAA sports.

How many people of those people are trans athletes?

Only 10, right?

So you're extrapolating 10 people out of a population of half a million people

and focusing on them as if they are the problem,

an overwhelming problem of the sports field

when it comes to the threat of women

when that is not the case, right?

You say that you are concerned about biological men

competing in the game of any sport, right,

whether it be basketball, whether it be soccer,

anything of the sort.

Why are we assuming that?

the process of becoming a trans person,

whether it be a trans woman or a trans male,

it's as simple as putting on a wig

and just deciding to change your pronouns.

That is simply not the case, right?

People who are trans go through a process

years over years over years of going through hormonal therapy,

of going through support for their mental therapy as well,

going through support of changing their pronouns through official means.

They go through a process in which they determine whether or not

they feel like they are internally a male or a woman.

It is not as simple as just deciding to become an athlete.

I feel like the premise of this conversation is

just supposing that a man can decide to-

Okay, so let me ask you.

Okay.

And just decide to be a man.

Do you accept-

That's simply not the case.

Let me-

Okay, let me try and help you.

Let me try and help you.

Do you agree that men have a

Superior power strength lung capacity.

I believe speed I believe that

once you are in the process of becoming either a male or woman

you go over you go through a hormonal therapy in order to become that and

Doesn't change any of the things I've just talked about

Andrea

Just to be yes, just to be clear

none of that has any impact on your basic physiology that you were born with

Andrea

Yes.

Andrea, stop filibustering me.

Yes, go on, Phil.

Here's my second question.

If, as you say, there is nothing to see here and no problem,

presumably, if we extrapolate your theory,

then we should have gender-neutral Olympics.

You agree with that?

I think that entire premise is also crap because,

again, we are, one, supposing that there's not a transitional process,

but also, two, what exactly does it mean to be a biological man or a biological woman?

Because there are tons of people,

one in 20 people are intersex.

Also, two, 10 to 30% of the population has PCOS,

PCOS presented in women gives them higher testosterone levels.

There's also 10% of people have thyroid issues, all right?

Yeah, Andrea, can you answer my question?

So thyroid issue also deals with your hormonal levels.

Andrea, can you answer my question?

Or answer women, or less women.

Answer my question.

I cannot answer your question without trying to get to the basis

of what is a biological man and what is a biological woman in the first place.

Because science cannot tell me that as well, Piers.

Let me help you.

Let me help you.

My God.

I am a biological man, you are a biological woman.
