Conservative radio host Jason Rantz and guest-host Sandra Smith criticized the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports, citing concerns about fairness and the erasure of women’s achievements.
Rantz suggested creating a separate league for transgender athletes to ensure fair competition.
“Now tell me again the strides women have made when society applauds a man for pushing us off our own podium,” Sandra Smith said.
“I do think the Democrats are doing this to their own peril. I think when you look at poll after poll after poll, it’s pretty clear where the American people stand on this issue,” Rantz said.
The discussion highlighted the ongoing debate over Title IX regulations and the participation of transgender athletes in collegiate sports.
“We want a general sense of respect for folks who are transgender. I don’t think anyone is saying otherwise. Where we take a stand is where we pretend that there’s no differences whatsoever between men and women, and they very clearly are,” Rantz said.
“They pretend that there’s no differences whatsoever, and that is to the detriment of women who fought for generations just for some basic fairness, for equal access to sports and sports funding. And what we end up having is someone who is biologically male, taking away opportunities from biological females,” Rantz added.
“Some people do see the path forward as having that separate entrance, that separate group. Some believe that shouldn’t even exist either. It should just be biological male, biological female,” Smith said.
“If you want to have competitions with transgender athletes, okay, create a third league where anyone can choose to join because at least then you are making the choice to compete if you’re biologically female against someone who is biologically male. Because if you’re a kid on any of these teams, even outside of this college, I imagine you’re feeling a lot of pressure not to say anything, because the second you step up, the second you say something, you’re immediately accused of transphobia when this is just about basic fairness,” Rantz said.
Ramapo College transgender student Meghan Cortez-Fields’ record-breaking performance in women’s swimming events sparked controversy and raised questions about the balance between inclusivity and fairness in sports.
“Male swimmer from Ramapo College sets another school record in women’s event. Now tell me again the strides women have made when society applauds a man for pushing us off our own podium… Title IX literally means nothing at this point,” Riley Gaines wrote on X.
“Ramapo College swimmer in New Jersey goes from less than mediocre male swimmer to a record smasher competing against the women. Hmhm. Where have we seen this before,” Gaines said.
“We have done everything the NCAA says needs to be done regarding trans athletes competing on the team. All of the steps were taken, and documentation was provided for approval of Meghan’s participation,” Ramapo College stated.
