I looked it up and Meghan Rapinoe is 38 years old. Seems like a marketing thing not a winning thing to put a 38 year old on the field with a bunch of 20 somethings. Is she really the best the US could field for the team? She has to be a couple steps slow at that age.
When Megan Rapinoe, a former co-captain of America's national women's soccer team, was asked whether she would welcome a "transgender woman" on the U.S. women's soccer team "even if that woman took the place of someone assigned female at birth" Rapinoe was unflinching: "Absolutely."
"'You're taking a real woman's place,' that's the part of the argument that's still extremely transphobic. I see trans women as real women," the outspoken athlete and progressive activist told Time in an interview published on Monday. "What you're saying automatically in the argument you're sort of telling on yourself already is you don't believe these people are women. Therefore, they're taking the other spot. I don't feel that way."
"We as a country are trying to legislate away people's full humanity. It's particularly frustrating when women's sports is weaponized," Rapinoe added. "Oh, now we care about fairness? Now we care about women's sports? That's total bulls**t. And show me all the trans people who are nefariously taking advantage of being trans in sports. It's just not happening."
This came out 2 days ago! And it happens frequently in tennis, golf, weightlifting, cycling, track, skateboarding, etc.
It's going to take Lebron James or Lionel Messi to switch teams and dominate for the left to ever believe there is an advantage for men.
