In an interview with podcast host Tomi \u200bLahren, Michaels made it clear that she believes sports are\u2063 inherently &#8220;biological&#8221; and that men should not be allowed to compete against\u2062 females due to \u2064the biological differences between the sexes. Safety and fairness, according\u200c to Michaels, are the\u2064 primary concerns.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Sports is biological. It just \u2063is,&#8221; Michaels told Lahren. &#8220;And I\u200c think that you&#8217;re starting to \u200dactually see \u200dwomen get hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Michaels\u200c pointed to examples like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/thats-fed-joe-rogan-talks-trans-swimmer-destroying-female-competitors-fallon-fox-comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fallon Fox<\/a>, a transgender MMA fighter who has physically dominated biological women in fights. Michaels argued that this goes beyond issues of\u200d fairness and poses a real danger to female athletes.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Like, this is \u2064beyond the fact of fairness. What we have trouble\u200d with as a society is &#8216;fairness,&#8217; right? Everybody wants to be &#8216;fair.&#8217; It&#8217;s not \u200bfair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While Michaels acknowledged the dilemma faced by transgender athletes who need \u200ca place to compete, she also\u200b emphasized that \u2063it \u200bis \u200cequally unfair to biological female athletes. \u200dShe highlighted \u200dthe difficulty of finding a solution that satisfies everyone.<\/p>\n<p>One notable case mentioned\u200d by Michaels is that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/news\/transgender-female-boxer-gives-female-opponent-concussion-breaks-her-eye-so\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fallon Fox<\/a>, who competed in MMA fights against women and caused physical harm. \u200cIn \u2064one fight, Fox\u200c broke her opponent&#8217;s eye socket and gave her a concussion.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1703684399691000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0m2xSiGF1JK_f4B43pJkSz\">CLICK\u2063 HERE\u2062 TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Michaels also\u200b mentioned the case\u2064 of \u2064transgender NCAA swimmer Lia Thomas, who previously competed as a male before transitioning to female athletics. Michaels pointed out the significant physical advantages that Thomas possesses over biological \u200dfemales.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The percentage of biological females \u200bwho are 6-foot-1 \u200cis under 1%. \u200bLia \u2062Thomas was number 400 when she swam as a male.\u2062 And number one when she swam as a female,&#8221; Michaels explained.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas made headlines when he dominated the women&#8217;s NCAA\u200d Division I\u200b Women&#8217;s Swimming \u200cChampionships. Another female swimmer, Riley\u200b Gaines, tied with Thomas \u200cfor fifth place\u2064 in the 200 \u200bfreestyle event but\u200d was denied a trophy by the \u200cNCAA.<\/p>\n<p>Michaels expressed concern that women&#8217;s sports will be systematically destroyed if the issue of transgender athletes competing against biological females\u200c is not addressed properly.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Catch\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JillianMichaels?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JillianMichaels<\/a> full answer on this TONIGHT 7pmET &#8220;Tomi\u2062 Lahren is Fearless&#8221; \u200bon YouTube, X, Facebook and <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kfev7OtHAd\">https:\/\/t.co\/kfev7OtHAd<\/a> \u2b07\ufe0f\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YmM86qmvZU\">pic.twitter.com\/YmM86qmvZU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tomi Lahren\u2063 (@TomiLahren)\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomiLahren\/status\/1740065359087202513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December \u200d27, \u20632023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/a-hill-i-will-die-on-sage-steele-says-espn-told-her-not-to-talk-about-lia-thomas-she-disobeyed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018A Hill I Will Die On\u2019:\u200b Sage Steele Says ESPN Told Her Not\u2062 To Talk About Lia Thomas.\u200d She Disobeyed.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are Jillian Michaels&#8217; concerns about the participation of transgender athletes \u200din \u200cfemale sports?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  =&#8221;https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fitness-guru-jillian-michaels-gets-blasted-for-saying-obesity-should-not-be-glamorized&#8221;>Jillian\u200d Michaels<\/a><\/b>, a prominent fitness guru and entrepreneur, recently voiced\u2063 her concerns about the\u2063 participation of transgender athletes \u2062in\u2064 female\u200d sports. \u2064In an interview with podcast host \u200cTomi Lahren,\u200b Michaels\u2062 made it clear that she believes sports should be considered in a purely \u2062biological context and that allowing male athletes to\u200d compete \u200bagainst females\u2064 poses safety and \u200bfairness issues.<\/p>\n<p>Michaels argued that\u200d the \u2063biological differences between\u200b males and females cannot be\u200b ignored when\u200d it comes\u200b to competitive sports. She cited examples \u2063like\u2062 Fallon \u200dFox, \u200ca transgender MMA fighter\u200b who has physically\u2064 dominated biological women in fights. Michaels pointed \u200bout that\u2064 such instances go\u200d beyond concerns of fairness and \u200chave\u2063 the potential to cause harm\u2063 to female \u2062athletes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is\u2062 beyond the fact of \u2062fairness. What we have trouble with as \u2062a \u200csociety \u2063is &#8216;fairness,&#8217; right? Everybody wants to be &#8216;fair.&#8217; It&#8217;s not fair,&#8221; Michaels emphasized during the \u2063interview\u200d with Lahren.<\/p>\n<p>While\u200c acknowledging the need for \u200btransgender athletes to have \u200da place to compete, Michaels emphasized that it \u2063is equally important to consider\u2064 the \u2063rights and well-being of \u2062biological female\u200b athletes. \u200bFinding a\u200c solution that satisfies both sides of the debate poses\u2063 a significant \u200bchallenge.<\/p>\n<p>Michaels highlighted the case of Fallon Fox, who participated in mixed martial arts fights against biological women and caused \u2063physical harm to her opponents. In \u200done \u2062particular fight, Fox broke her opponent&#8217;s eye socket and \u200bgave her a concussion. Instances like these raise\u2062 substantial\u2064 concerns about the safety of female athletes \u2062competing against transgender individuals.<\/p>\n<p>The debate surrounding transgender participation in sports is a complex \u200band evolving issue. It involves\u200b considerations of inclusivity, fairness, and\u2062 physical differences between\u2063 the\u200c sexes. As discussions continue, \u2062it\u2062 is crucial \u2062to take into account the concerns raised by individuals like \u200cJillian \u200bMichaels, who\u2062 argues\u200d for the protection of female athletes \u2062and maintaining\u2064 a level\u200d playing \u200dfield in sports.<\/p>\n<p>The opinions expressed by Michaels have sparked \u200ccontroversy and\u200d discussion within the sports community and society\u200b as a whole.
