U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe said in a recent interview that questioning transgender participation in women’s sports is harmful. Rapinoe mentioned remarks made by tennis legend Martina Navratilova and ESPN anchor Sage Steele, who believe transgender women should not be competing against biological females in sports. “Dave Chappelle making jokes about trans people directly leads to violence, whether it’s verbal or otherwise, against trans people. In March, she applauded World Athletics for adopting a policy to exclude transgender female athletes from women’s competitions. I see trans women as real women,” she said.
