I\u2019m sorry, your kid\u2019s high school volleyball team just isn\u2019t that important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think people also need to understand that sports is not the most important thing in life, right?\u201d she continued. \u201cLife is the most important thing in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re talking about kids,\u201d Rapinoe said. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about people\u2019s lives. We\u2019re talking about the entire state government coming down on one child in some states, three children in some states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ESPY award-winner claimed without evidence that gender-confused children are committing suicide at higher rates \u201cbecause they are being told that they\u2019re gross and different and evil and sinful and they can\u2019t play sports with their friends that they grew up with. Not to mention trying to take away health care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s monstrous,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Rapinoe went on to argue that not many girls have been shortchanged by transgender athletes, yet, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShow me the evidence that trans women are taking everyone\u2019s scholarships, are dominating in every sport, are winning every title. I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s just not happening,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we need to start from inclusion, period. And as things arise, I have confidence that we can figure it out. But we can\u2019t start at the opposite. That is cruel. And frankly, it\u2019s just disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to really kind of take a step back and get a grip on what we\u2019re really talking about here because people\u2019s lives are at risk,\u201d Rapinoe added. \u201cKids\u2019 lives are at risk with the rates of suicide, the rates of depression and negative mental health and drug abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re putting everything through God forbid a trans person be successful in sports.
