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."

because men are women see?
That’s not a man because he say he’s a woman. Do what the man said!! Good is bad, up is down, bad is good, and communism is not socialism. Black is right and white is bad and true communism never was before tried. They shall bring in !!TRUE!! communism you’re really gonna love it!
must be time for her annual comments again...she emerges every summer and seems to get more inane as time goes on.
She does fit right in. When you add up the IQ points of the hosts of the view, you get single digit sum. Add in Rapinoe’s and you are still in single digits, but it is a smaller number.

No, she’s a lesbian.
Mentally deranged. Doesn’t know the difference between a man and a woman.
The “men” in that league would complain that they are getting beat up by the “women” and it isn’t fair.
Ok, you’re right! We should allow fake women fake women’s empowerment…. 😂😂😂
“Who sets the lowest bar for rank stupidity? Actors? Singers? Musicians? Athletes? Politicians? It’s quite a contest.”
That is a very good question that deserves widespread conversation and debate.
It’s easy for retired women in sports to pontificate; they’re not the ones who have to play against men pretending to be women.
My head hurts trying to follow her “logic”. So, as I understand her, not allowing fake women to compete in real women’s sports is an attack on real women? Did I follow her?
Then there’s this little gem “...to go through a sex test, an invasive, like examining their genitals to see if they’re a woman...”. Is she for real? These days, genitals won’t tell the true story. I’m also pretty sure the Bill doesn’t say that.
She’s a communist.
Juwanaman
She’s a communist.
Left wing women vote for and support this.
Megan Rapinoe HUMILIATES Herself On The View With INSANE WOKE MELTDOWN Over Trans Athlete Bans!
