US women's soccer hero Megan Rapinoe has come out strongly in favor of including transgender women in women's sport, labelling the arguments against 'cruel and disgusting'.

The veteran soccer star, who co-captained the United States Women's National Team in 2019 as they won a second successive World Cup, was dismissive of the notion that trans women are dominating women's sports and thus need regulating.

Instead, she argued that excluding them from competing at lower levels is cruel, as people value their 'kid's high school volleyball team' ahead of the lives and wellbeing of transgender people.

Her comments come in the wake of the furore surrounding professional swimming body FINA's (Fédération Internationale de Natation) new policy that bans transgender women from competing in swimming races.

The decision came in response to transgender UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas' record-breaking victories at college swim meets, which sparked claims the trans athlete had an extreme advantage as a result of going through male puberty.

'Show me the evidence that trans women are taking everyone's scholarships, are dominating in every sport, are winning every title,' the Rapinoe said. 'I'm sorry, it's just not happening.'

'I'm 100 per cent supportive of trans inclusion,' she told TIME. 'People do not know very much about it. We're missing almost everything

Assuming “she” is even a biological female, and not trans. Kind of makes you wonder about joyless Reid.

No actual vagina possessing human will ever play professionally if a “former male” can play.

Arguments against men in women’s sports are disgusting?

And some people think she’s a disgusting freak. So how do we resolve these situations?

I find USA women’s soccer disgusting. Actually, I find all soccer rather boring, it becomes disgusting with it played by a bunch of carpet munching lesbos.

That is a garbage argument. It’s like saying lynching was okay because not every black got lynched.

If even one woman was pushed aside by a man participating in a women’s sport, then it’s wrong, and must be stopped. And for sure many women have been pushed aside.

Fascinating how an athlete isn’t disgusted by another athlete who cheats.

The real problem with women’s sports is that women won’t watch them. They are too boring.

Except for beach volleyball. But then women don’t watch that either.
