Megan has been a thorn in women’s sports for some time now, using her soccer fame as a platform. Her argument that it is only a few is just plain ignorant. A man has had a scientific advantage over a woman since the beginning of time.
Would Rapinoe say the same thing if it were between her and a man going to the Olympics? I doubt it, but now it is easier for her to promote an ideology that doesn’t affect her career. It is time for Megan to leave the stage and go on with her life because she is no longer relevant as she thinks she is. All IMO.
“She downplayed the prevalence of female-identifying transgender athletes in women’s sports, saying that she and Bird never encountered a problem in their multi-year careers at the top tiers of their sports.
“Two people who played at the very highest level for every competition you possibly could don’t agree with this, and never felt like this was an issue at all,” Rapinoe said.
Transgender athletes in female sports are so few that you could count them “on a single hand,” she said.
That may be true at the Olympic level — only two male-to-female transgender athletes are known to have competed in the Olympic Games — but it’s certainly not the case in high school or collegiate athletics.”
