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."

Same thing in New York. Antisemitic attack on the Upper West Side. Horrible, but left wing Jews sowed this world.
Where are “trans men” in men’s sports? It seems to me to only be going one way.
Big time.
I’m not sure she’s even a biological woman.
What a disgusting stool sample. Craves attention any way it can get it. No male would come near it...ever!
How can a woman be this stupid about women’s sports?!
Maybe a hermaphrodite?
Truer words have never been spoken.
If a WNBA team took one or two Division 2/Division 3 men’s players, gave them make-up, hair weaves and a padded sports bra and said they were “trans women” they would go undefeated for the season.
That league is such a woke shit show, I can’t wait for the first real tranny to put this to the test.
They would rather have it end up like Randy “Macho Man” Savage winning the South Park Strong Woman competition than actually call it out for the nonsense it would be.
If it’s with an un-altered “tranny” it would be heterosexual in nature.
Oh, the irony.
I know a tranny married to a tranny, both are male to female,
They’re mentally addled from jump. Note how many lesbians hate men but go to incredible lengths to physically resemble them via hairstyles, clothing and avoiding makeup.
The icing on Rappinoe’s cupcake is that the vast majority of lesbians despise trans guys trying to look like women and do not accept them as such - totally opposite of her argument.
If she is a lesbo, and has never seen a man’s member, then maybe she really doesn’t know when a man calls himself a female.
She’s just mad cuz she lacks a penis.
She’s a moron, Jim.
What else would you expect an atheist idiot like her to say?
LUNATIC
So we see a mannish appearing female , such as Megan Rapinoe, is in favor of actual men playing in women’s sports, in order to take a stand for women’s rights.
I’m all twisted up trying to follow the reasoning in some of these issues.
I expect to be sent to reducation camp someday.
Fakers are a disgrace, be they male or female in an opposite-gender sports competition.
Megan isn’t very smart.
