Megan Rapinoe blames Dave Chappelle for transphobic violence.

Women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe speaks out against anti-transgender violence

In a recent interview, Megan Rapinoe, renowned women’s soccer player, boldly called out comedy legend Dave Chappelle for his jokes about transgender individuals, stating that they directly contribute to acts of violence against the trans community. She emphasized the impact of such remarks, whether verbal or otherwise, on the treatment of trans people in all aspects of life.

Challenging anti-transgender policies

Rapinoe also expressed her frustration with the weaponization of women’s sports in the context of anti-transgender policies. She questioned the sudden concern for fairness and women’s sports, dismissing it as mere hypocrisy. Furthermore, she debunked the notion that trans individuals are exploiting their identity for an unfair advantage in sports, asserting that such occurrences are simply nonexistent.

As an outspoken member and advocate for the LGBT community, Rapinoe made it clear that she welcomes transgender athletes on the United States Women’s Soccer Team, even if it means replacing biologically female players. She firmly believes that trans women are real women and finds the argument against their participation to be deeply transphobic.

Rapinoe plans to retire from professional soccer after the 2023 National Women’s Soccer League season, making this summer her final appearance at the Women’s World Cup.
