Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan has blasted former women’s soccer player Megan Rapinoe after she called for transgender athletes to be included in international football teams just days after announcing her retirement.
“'You’re taking a ‘real’ woman’s place,’ that’s the part of the argument that’s still extremely transphobic,” Rapinoe told Time magazine in July.
Mr Morgan questioned what the women’s football space would look like if World Cup winner Lionel Messi became transgender and joined America’s women’s football league.
“Is that the way we are going to go? Where Lionel Messi suddenly says, ‘I’m a woman’ and breaks even more records but makes it irrevocably impossible for an actual woman to compete,” he said.
“That is where this is going if we are not very careful, isn’t it?”
Mr Morgan discussed this issue with Canadian powerlifter April Hutchinson.
