Veronica Ivy - Trans Women in Women’s Sports | The Daily Show

“It all boils down to, do you actually think that trans women and intersex women are real women and are really female, or not? And if you do, it’s very simple: Just stop policing who counts as a real woman.” Transgender athlete rights activist and track cycling world champion Veronica Ivy discusses the debate over inclusion of trans women in women’s sports. #DailyShow #Comedy

Funny how there is NEVER a conversation about trans men in men's sports, almost as if, gasp, there are inherent biological differences between men and women.

[ALVIRAMDANI]

imagine normal people compete in paralympic because they say they are disabled.

[marefshale]

I must give it to them though, they went from fighting for their rights to walking on other people's rights. Wow

[joelthemodelcitizen]

A white man playing a white woman telling us about racism. Amazing.

[walter]

It's not transphobic it's having common sense

[foximoxi]

This is normalized insanity. This hurts women and young girls greatly. We are regressing women’s rights.

[victorgodwin]

The way she navigated her way to the conclusion that she's a biological woman is the most ridiculous and hilarious line of thought, I think I've ever heard in my entire life (and I've taught Kindergarten for 5 years)

[AngelicNastiness]

The comment section has restored my faith in humanity. This trans woman said some very ridiculous things, but I’m comforted to see that people are seeing right through it.

[SAnderson]

We respect people’s choices to live as they identify, but you can’t ignore biological facts. Transwomen are not biological women. The unfair advantages they have in women’s sports are enormous.

[molly]

To lecture a black man who grew up during apartheid in South Africa on racism, is a narcissistic level of entitlement I did not previously know was possible.

[bizichyld]

This person is basically arguing with the “unfair advantages already exist” point that there should be no separation of men’s and women’s sports. This then begs the question, why not just compete with the men?

[MindfulAttraction.]

Trevor was walking on a very fine line. He didn't want to get fired 😂😂😂😂😂 which pretty much proves a point. This is a bunch of BS

[Blvntdd]

"My identification says I'm female, and I'm made of biological stuff so I'm a biological female" is insane mental gymnastics lol

[TheGreatTraeX]

This "woman" is sitting here looking like a NFL linebacker and claiming we don't know if they have an advantage

[sandilembatha]

i am a biological horse because i identify as a horse and i'm pretty sure i'm made of biological stuff.

yeahp. that's a perfectly reasonable and just argument.

[drafpor]

I cannot believe this is where we are as a society

[jessynicholls]

I am a physical therapist and i can garantee there is a difference in the body structure, muscle and strength

[StumblingThroughItAll]

The fact that this person claims to be biologically female, based on being "made of biological stuff" should tell you all you need to know about the "seriousness" of this conversation. The fact that someone as smart as Trevor nods along in agreement while the crowd cheers it on is truly wild to watch.

[MarkGreenfield-qo]

It’s painfully obvious just how uncomfortable Trevor is throughout this conversation. You can see the fear in his body language about saying the “wrong thing” and thus getting canceled and attacked by the far left. I am a registered Democrat, but I am so tired of this insanity. The far left only wants tolerance when it applies to them, not to anybody else, and not to diversity of thought and opinion. If Donald Trump was not on the ballot this election, I would most likely vote for Republican. When Veronica says, “fear of protecting the fragile white sis woman”, that seems pretty offensive and derogatory towards a huge demographic in this country.

[Niamh-niyo]

“Stop policing” while they police language and opinions. Brilliant.
