Sport · First reported 30 Oct, 10:19 · Updated 10:33
In an interview with comedian W. Kamau Bell, Megan Rapinoe discussed trans participation in women’s sports, fairness and athletes’ rights. Two opinion articles criticize her position and emphasize competitive fairness and sex-separated sports.
- Rapinoe said she was appalled by what she described as a lack of empathy toward trans people, and argued that sports are not always fair.
- Bell asked Rapinoe about concerns over trans women in women’s sports and compared the concern to LeBron James declaring himself a woman and joining the WNBA.
- The two opinion articles challenge Rapinoe’s arguments, with one citing a Washington high-school runner’s move from a boys’ cross-country team to a girls’ team.
