Former U.S. Women's National Team star Megan Rapinoe said Tuesday that efforts to bar transgender athletes from competing in women's sports amount to "an attack on women in society," arguing the debate extends far beyond questions of fairness in athletic competition.
Appearing on ABC's "The View," Rapinoe dismissed arguments that restrictions on transgender athletes are primarily about protecting girls' and women's sports. Instead, she argued, opponents are using the issue as part of a broader campaign against women's empowerment.
"They're going after trans people in sports, and they're using this as a wedge issue because we love sports. And, you know, we don't want our little girls to be unsafe in sports. And it's like, ‘Unsafe from who? But okay,’" Rapinoe said.
"But now we're using this as like, an overarching thing, when really what we're attacking women, we're saying, ‘If you look like this as a woman, you can play, if you look like this as a woman.' There's a bill in Washington happening right now that's going to require all girls, just like full stop, to go through a sex test, an invasive, like examining their genitals to see if they're a woman," Rapinoe said.
Initiative IL26-638, according to the House Republican Caucus, would "prohibit students it defines as ‘biologically male’ from competing in certain school athletic activities intended for female students only. It would require verification of biological sex by students’ healthcare providers."
"They don't like women in sports because it helps us with confidence and power," Rapinoe said. "And we see so many women in the C-suite played elite level sports. It's just great for you physically and all of it. But it's an attack on women in society."

Megan Rapinoe became a prominent sports activist by kneeling during the national anthem in 2016 to protest racial inequality, later pivoting to a silent standing protest without singing or placing her hand over her heart after U.S. Soccer instituted—and later repealed—a rule requiring players to stand.
She’s an Idiot
She just PROVED that she is INSANE!
Megan who?
Rapinoe is a gender traitor.
“And it’s like, ‘Unsafe from who?”
From you lady, for starters.
One day I’m gonna start a tranny league. Should make a mint.
I wonder if she has lesbian sex with the trans women?
“Appearing on ABC’s ‘The View...’”
She fits right in with that crowd. Of course they’d welcome her ignorant ‘view’ on the subject! Barf!
So, this is right after she retires and doesn’t have to get body checked at midfield by a 6’4” dude? Ok. thx.
Coward. Plain and simple.
She retires and then becomes an advocate for men playing women’s sports.
Barring men from womens’ sports is an “attack on women.”
Who sets the lowest bar for rank stupidity? Actors? Singers? Musicians? Athletes? Politicians? It’s quite a contest.
Someone sent her a check (it wouldn't surprise me).
Your cucumber misses you, charlatan.
oh, it’s Me Again
Megan is “an attack on women in society” all by her lonesome.
I’d call her the “C” word, but it probably doesn’t apply. Skank loser will do anything for notoriety now that she’s a nothing.
