Fox News host and sports commentator Will Kane stopped by FOX News Tonight on Friday to discuss the invasion of women’s sports by transgender athletes.
Guest host Piers Morgan told Kane that he believes transgender participation in women’s sport threatens the integrity of the Games.
‘This is the new doping,’ said Morgan
Morgan said performance-enhancing drugs were once prevalent in many sports, and she believed transgender women’s participation in sports was equally unfair. (Related: Transgender cyclist Austin Killips crushes women’s competition on his way to victory)
“It’s the same thing,” Morgan said. “It’s cheating.”
Kane argued that allowing transgender athletes to participate in women’s sports not only amounted to cheating, but also put women in physical danger.
“I think more than that. It wasn’t just cheating. It was dangerous and it was insane.”
Kane went on to praise sports governing bodies such as the International Cycling Federation for moving to ban transgender athletes from competing. But Kane warned that banning only transgender athletes who transitioned before puberty would be a “half-baked measure”. She also said that allowing transgender athletes to compete against women in contact sports such as martial arts and basketball is dangerous.
“[F]First and foremost, any sport, not just martial arts, but contact sports, is making women unsafe,” Kane said.
Kain said women’s physical safety is an issue, but transgenderism poses an even more serious danger.
“This is a disease, a madness that has struck humanity. The only way you and I and humans can communicate is through a shared reality,” Kane said.
Morgan also expressed surprise at soccer player Megan Rapinoe’s support for transgender inclusion in women’s sport, which contradicts what she envisions as an advocate for women’s rights. said.
Kane also accused Rapinoe of having a “confused mind” that fails to understand that supporting transgender participation in women’s sport undermines opportunities for women.
“Megan Rapinoe is simply not an intelligent person when it comes to understanding the words that come out of her mouth and the issues she struggles with. Opportunities for women obviously mean nothing once you create a back door for men to get exactly that position,” Cain said.
Morgan also argued that pro-trans public figures feared a “Twitter mob” accused of speaking out against transgender people. They feared becoming the next JK Rowling, he claimed.
By including transgender people in women-only spaces, Kane said, “women are raped in prison, girls are disqualified from sports teams, scholarships evaporate, victims of serial killers become unidentifiable. “I lamented that the reality was born.
