Texas sports anchor Dale Hansen came to the defense of a transgender teen athlete in a two-minute address that’s worthy of repeat viewings. The WFAA-TV reporter didn’t mince words when it came to Mack Beggs, who was thrust into the national spotlight Feb. 25 after winning a state girls’ wrestling title. “I’m not always comfortable when a man tells me he’s gay; I don’t understand his world, but I do understand that he’s part of mine,” he said at the time.

Montel Williams and Sarah McBride were among the fans who applauded Hansen’s words on Twitter.
