Megan Rapinoe is back, taking shots at women's sports advocates and once again insisting the differences between male and female athletes shouldn't matter in women's sports.

Speaking on her "Why Are You Like This?" podcast — a question sports fans have been asking about her for years — the former USWNT star went after Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and OutKick's own Riley Gaines after the two posed for a photo following the Fever's game against the Minnesota Lynx.

Rapinoe supports allowing biological males to compete in women's sports, yet frames women who object, and even athletes who simply stand beside them, as the villains.

"I want to address the controversy that is happening right now around trans women in sports," Rapinoe opened.

"As you know, I've talked about this a lot and will continue to keep talking about this."

Satanic anger rears it’s ugly head once more with that woman

Apologies for the poor formatting

[MPJackal]

Wasn’t she the captain of the U.S. National Team that got beaten by a High School boys team?

[Flaming Conservative]

Is she a “trans woman”?

What a bitter fish
Worth 5-7 million
Poor baby

Hardly anyone ever paid any attention to women's professional basketball before this controversy.

How about allowing the troons to play and if it kills the enterprise, so what?

[DIRTYSECRET]

It’s not just her my friends. There’s a lot of them out there and they’re motivated. How do you slap her kind down when another will just show up? It’s whack-a-mole.

“Smug Megan Rapinoe goes on unhinged rant, attacks Riley Gaines and Sophie Cunningham over women’s sports”. Megan what went wrong in your marriage to Sue Bird?

[Sicon]

"Is she a “trans woman”?"

No, she's a retarded lesbian.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Meghan’s “world champion” team was beat by a good (by American) standard high school boys team.

That belies her claim that men and women are the same.

This fella was a good soccer player. Not sure why he’d care about trannies in women’s sports.

[No name given]

I’m not so sure she’s even a biological woman.

[No name given]

Most likely.

[No name given]

I think she WAS, yes.
