- 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.
I love that she said “bodies play sports not identities”. Perfectly put.
but men are men and women are women.
@@laryjohnson5736what?
Ratinoe uses a classic broad based straw man argument approach, with flawed logic. Its like saying "vehicles race not vehicle types" - so if you put V8 cars up against small 4 cylinder cars in the same race then its the same thing according to her logic. Biological men are simply built more aggressive and more powerful than biological women. If this is were not the case, then why are "trans women" dominating by a wide margin in every single women's sport they compete in, after being very average when competing against biological men in the same sports. Trans women through competing in a range of sports now have ironically provided all the statistical data needed for this absolute proof. If there was an unsettled debate before, its now well and truly settled now that "trans women" have been allowed to compete against women. Its proven to be an interesting live experiment across many sports and scenarios - with the exact same outcome. Thank you trans women for finally settling the entire argument. Its shows without a doubt that biological men are physically superior to biological women. Game, set and match.
@@finch2213yes, and I am backing up her case to do so with statistical facts, provided ironically by the trans athletes themselves.
@@finch2213 I reworded - was directing at Rapino's logic.
Canada has completely lost it! It’s utterly disgusting what’s happened to this athlete.
Trust me, it's no less insane, and ridiculous, here in the US when it comes to this nonsense either unfortunately. So many Countries have lost their minds, and are letting the crazies out of the asylums, and they are spreading the disease to other individuals. It's sad what has happened, especially in just the last 3 years, or so, maybe a little longer than that, when it comes to this ridiculous topic.
Born and raised in Canada, and I'm disgusted of what my country has become.
@@egonschiele8404That is exactly how I feel about the US now as well, and how it's gotten here, especially since 2020.
The Trudeau government has lost it. The people firmly want him out. Even liberal outlets are getting tired of the guy.
Not all of us in canuckistan believe in that lunatic bs I am one that already spoke up and said that due to their bs I am boycotting the CPf and hope the international gov body bans the cpf
Refuse to watch or support when men play in a women's team. Time to stop the funding.
I don't think anyone does. Look at when the guy swimmer wins. There is no one there at all
Refuse participation. If the playing field isn’t equal, don’t play; group walk-off. They’re so gross they’ll probably take it as a “W” but at least they won’t be *shattering* records and rewriting *women’s* history.
and only a few short years ago women were saying they could do anything a man can do and better
@@julesvern-u4e they were right. Women can do anything men ca, As long as they were born men.
As a Canadian, I'm so disappointed and disgusted by these terrible decisions. It all starts at the top and our government isn't helping this at all. April, i'm sorry this happened to you and hope justice is served soon.
That Trudeau reminds me of damien omen when he grew up....Some weirdness behind those dead eyes. You need to oust him, Revolution style!!!
Your speaking the truth. Dead eyes indeed. @@armondtanz
Ashamed to be a Canadian at this moment. I support you April.
When Fidel Jr runs your country into the ground can’t blame anyone but yourself. Voted him again.
Canada is going through a rough patch, sorry about all that.
Canada is going downhill pretty fast, damn
@@mikemike5223You're such a tool. Tell us you have no idea how the election system in Canada works without telling us you're utterly clueless.
on the plus side as a Canadian we can blame any stupidity on trudeau and the world will easily believe it because he is such a well known moron
Women really need to stand together on this!
Yes I don't understand why they just refuse to compete and let the events fail. What are they so afraid of when winning this is right there in plain sight? Simply DO NOT PARTICPATE. Stand your ground.
Yes and real men❤
As long as females stop asking for equality.
EVERYONE should, we all should
This is disgusting. I stand with you April.
Yea, this is getting ridiculous!
It’s ok to stand with April but until her female piers stand with her this will continue
@@rollingpaper9942 piers is trans?!!!
LOL@@kkuznetsov2424
@@kkuznetsov2424 YEAH , he's not much of a man , Piers should come out and have the right to say what he is a two spirit weasel .
SHE made a good point! What terrible unfairness shown to this lady
“Bodies play sports, not identities.” Right on April.
I'd die a million deaths and hang my head in shame if I won and everyone knew I was born a man and won by entering and beating women. Unbelievable! Rather to lose to a man, than to win against a female!
Like small man's syndrome.
Absolutely ridiculous ! Suspended for being a real woman in women’s weightlifting JESUS SAVE US
Women being extinguished within the sports world.
Banned from her sport for two years for making a comment that nobody would have bat an eye at 15 or 20 years ago... Not only that, but she wouldn't have needed to say her comment at all 20 years ago, because we didn't have men competing in women's sports 20 years ago.
I hope she takes them to court. It's shameful what is happening here in canada. April, you have my support
“Bodies play sports, not identities”. Well said April.
Why are we not " naming & shaming " the people who actually make these decisions ?. Why are we only given vague information about bans & action taking against athletes when it is such a important issue and oppressive to the truth. Let us know who signs the letters or makes the decisions. They want to go against society as a whole, we have a right to know who they are.
this is really disgusting and heart breaking.. no one should be punished or suspended for speaking their mind and expressing their opinions.. the people who suspended you are the one who should be banned
It wasn't even an opinion, everything that she said about him was a fact
As a Canadian, I’m disgusted with these woke people/federations in Canada. Good luck April !
Until Trudeau is removed, this will continue,
Ya have to vote em out!!
yeah that rugby player thats clobbering women is an absolute outrage.
Eh!
Start your own union then, I’m sure you’d get plenty of support from your fellow women.
To give you an idea of how fucking crazy things have gotten in Canada, about a month ago a 50 y/o man entered a swim meet in Toronto and competed as a 13 year old girl. According to Swim Canada's rules, they have to accept an entrant in whatever manner that entrant presents himself. So, if a 50 y/o man says he's a 13 y/o girl, then he can compete as a 13 y/o girl. Absolute madness. If my daughter was competing, I would have taken her out for her own safety. Organizers like this simply cannot be entrusted with the safety of children.
This is a hypothetical joke right?
@@escallite Sadly no there's even news stories about it
Simple all women should decline to participate, end of competition
Why should men be allowed to compete in women's sports?
m.ua-cam.com/video/nYXB0UPeisY/v-deo.html
yes.. and they/them can have their own competition. I wonder how many people would watch that ?
@@brucewigley7227they don't want to compete with men, they want to get paid for breaking woman's records. all about the money and nothing to do with "being included"
LOL “simple” yeah its simple to just stop what youve been working for your entire life on the basis of others insanity. Spoken like a cheeto finger
Piers missed the point when he talked about Messi. A huge number of young male athletes are simply not good enough for the top level of male sports but would absolutely dominate women's sports and would destroy the category completely. Messi has no incentive, but an unknown nobody would suddenly be breaking records and getting deals... so there's a huge incentive and the complete destruction of the women's categories.
Who would give such person any deals? If the Public supports it’ll continue if not the Trans Athletes won’t be a thing.
Real women just need to stop playing when they know a male is going to play.
m.ua-cam.com/video/nYXB0UPeisY/v-deo.html
What does "real" even mean, all women are real women
Suspending her is the easy way out. How about having a meaningful conversation but this is how it is these days. It’s embarrassing and insulting.
Mock or ignore males who claim to be females. Do NOT allow them access to female sports, bathrooms, etc.
So basically be transphobic 😂
Soon as trans enters the comp every woman should pull out. Can't have a comp with only 1 competitor.
There's a reason why women have always had their athletic competitions separate from men and it isn't because competing against women put men at an unfair disadvantage.The reason is so obvious that only a baseball bat or hockey puck would lack the means to see why.
Women don't pull out but I bet all trans athletes still can....
When you're right, you're right. That is a man's job.
@@carpet6986😂😂😂
@@carpet6986🤌🏽👍🏿🤭
“Bodies play sports, not identities” That’s putting it in a nutshell perfectly! This is a disgrace, I hope you are successful fighting this!
Who else remembers how great it was when Megan Crapinoe missed that crucial penalty kick against Sweden in The World Cup?
Pepperidge Farm remembers....
Is rapione president of national biological men haters club?😂 Even though he looks like a guy? I meant she
I remember. I'm glad they lost.
Remember when women couldn't vote and certain folk weren't allowed on golf courses?
You would never be good enough to even try what she’s done.
She's great at looking at her own reflection, that's about it.
Agreed. It's disgusting that this is happening. I feel so sorry for anyone going up against Trans people and social wokeness. It's complete BS. Good luck April. Take them on and I hope you win!
OH, the poor minorities who seem to always dictate.
I get that women need to stand up against this but i really think more real men need to stand up against this and support real women.
No we have tried many times but we get called bigots and dismissed them. Unfortunately this is up to women they have to refuse to play against them
@@swizzarmynige1585 yep.i get you. Its sad really.
Females should just be like peace rather not play. A female in pool did it and was cheered when she did face a trans and got second place.
Women need to.lead the charge.
No.more standing on the podium all smiles and cuddles next to the winning transwomen.
Women need to on mass refuse to compete. How else will change occur and this madness end.
if you havent realize..men are following women's lead. Men wont do shit unless women really show they are invaded. But as at now women care less, so dont expect men to care. Its womanhood that is invaded, men are fine.
I’m just appalled. So unfair. I think the world is going crazy.
My 23 and 17 year old daughters believe in equal rights just like I do. But both girls are 100% adament that biological men should not be competeing in female competition.
That's great and I agree but yeah since when did we take advice from children
@@seasonedbeefsWhat about the eco zealot. Greta Dumbberg ?
Equal rights has nothing got to do with this. There’s a reason why sports are segregated into male and female. Because men clearly have a physiological advantage.
the problem is you only want equal rights when it suits you. as soon as it doesn't then you claim the womanhood card.
Then it is not equal rights. You wanted, and caused, this.
I totally support April. She is correct in her description of this man and that he should not take part in female sports. Here in the UK, in Wales recently a biological man identifying as a Trans woman was taking part in an American Pool competition for Women. He reached the final against a Female player called Lynne. As the game was about to start Lynne conceded the match and walked away because she disagreed with a man playing in a womens sporting competition. We need more women like Lynne to stand up against men. April needs the support of every female weightlifter.
Most women are still pretending that women can do anything a man can do. They themselves supported the tranny thing and weren't smart enough to see themselves being pushed out of everything made for women. They are getting what they asked for...😊
When is this misogyny going to end?
Sue their ass for violation of your civil rights and freedom of speech.
In Canada “hate speech” is not protected. Check out bill C-16. You could be breaking the law if you misgender someone.
@@rygarisfun8164 Trudeau is a trans... he runs like a girl for starters !
Canada went full re re and now theses weirdos have special rights.
@@rygarisfun8164she did not misgender anyone she was talking sport specific which you compete in woth your body that person has a body of a man its just a fact as for how he/she wants to be treated outside of sport thats another thing
The world has gone to shit. It's not just sports. US based corporations are forcing DEI trainings, etc. on employees in non-US countries. Today they are encouraging to use pronouns and tomorrow they will expect us to use pronouns and call people as they "identify" themselves. Go against them and you get terminated from your job.
Canada never really disappoints in making the whole world laugh.
Well, the US and UK aren’t very far behind… trailing closely really. Canada just sets the bar for us all to pathetically follow.
@@robinmcinarnay7827 the whole western culture is embarrassing to the human race!!
That’s unbelievable! Poor girl! This is totally unfair to be suspended! World has gone delusional
"Bodies play sports, NOT identity" what a powerful and true quote!
We are talking Canada here. They are beyond help
Watch your mouth! Canada has nothing to do with what this over rated woman said
@@ashleysleeth1106 watch the video before you comment, it’s about a female Canadian weightlifter being suspended for two years for referring to a trans woman as a man
There have been Million Parent Marches, parents and students protested the school for allowing Kayla Lemieux to wear his clown suit, there are women's groups in Canada fighting the trans malarkey. It's become a very repressive country, so a lot of fear of speaking up, and media (except Rebel News) doesn't really cover the harms that trans does, but there is pushback.
@@kai-jm7bbI get that , but they keep voting Trudeau back in. So obviously Canadians only have themselves to blame
@@dorianshadesofgray WE don't keep voting him back in. The Liberals barely got by with just over 30% of the vote (the lion's share coming from larger cities in the east of the country) and they only reason they're still in power is because the NDP are propping them up. Believe me, outside those urban areas, he's pretty much universally loathed.
I feel bad for April, I know how hard it is to progress in power lifting as a man, and it's twice as difficult for a women. Being betrayed by her own community because of a dude who decided to chop off his genitals is very harsh.
thanks for bringing this to light Piers.
Yes THANK GOD 🙏🏼 Praise Jesus. This affects less than 1% of the population of the world. So glad he’s bringing this up. Way to go.
oh yes let's live in a world where facts don't matter. no problem@@sunblue22
It's really mental that we are even having these conversations. We are allowing men who think they are women to actually compete with women and break all their records. Incredible.
Canada is lost too.
All biological female powerlifters should not compete for two years in protest in that federation. You have to make a stand for actual women’s rights.
Makes me sick in a stomach thinking which direction modern world turning…
"Bodies play sports, not identities". Nailed it.
Yes,but she forgot that she lives in Canada, the dystopian epicentre of cultural marxism so she should sort of expect it.
Every female lifter in that class in Canada should quit showing up for meets.
Hire a lawyer - go after those cowards.
I've painted an apple orange yet nobody will accept that it's now an orange....
I wake up thinking things will be better in the world and it’s just more messed up!
Thank you April! Speaking FACTS!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
We are living in a world gone mad. Lewis Carrol could not have written a more upside-down story. We are all down the rabbit hole.
A 2 year suspension is attempting to end her career
It would seem most people in sports these days are not as special as they like to think they are. They behave more like sheep. They can't even stand up against this huge lie that's being forced on them. So glad this woman at least has the courage to speak truth!
Agreed
It's unbelievable that up until a few years ago, this would have been considered madness by everyone. Now the sane and truthful are pilloried. It is beyond the pale.
It’s amazing how naturally talented trans athletes are… must be something in the water. Can’t wait for UFC… don’t forget medical insurance
UFC have sold out and are now sponsored by Dud Light....
Already been done. Look up Fallon Fox
@@carpet6986 soon to be rebranded dude light.
@@chelfynnot in the actual professional leagues
All women who are expected to compete against trans competitors should immediately withdraw en-masse from every competition it happens in. The only way to stop this lunacy is to make sport untenable until sanity returns.
Does he have face tattoos next to his eyes? That’s usually a sign someone doesn’t think right.
April- Thanks for speaking out. Also, as Piers mentioned, what an absolute joke that you can get suspended for taking performance enhancing drugs, but you can be a man and compete, and nobody says anything.
April Hutchinson dear April mi support with you it amazing how polite and respectful you are with the words you are not just great in sport you are bjutiful and great woman big respect and hug ❤🙏
All Canadian women power lifters should pull out of any competition he's competing in.
I'm a man and I don't wana compete with women.
The end
Well that’s because you aren’t a cheat.
Canada is done. Unbelievable
So is the U.S. Pretty sure it started here, it’s contagious, like a virus.
This is appalling! I admire April for speaking out. I feel that it may take all women athletes taking a stand and refusing to compete with biological males before things change. Male athletes, especially those in the public eye need to also speak out in support of women. We as fans, need to applaud every time a woman walks away from having to compete with a biological male. IMO, this would make it stop. How long it would it take? I don't know.
Megan abuses God then blames God for her Achilles heel injury because if God is real, he should have protected her. How self focused are we getting? 🤦
She’s a horrible human being. Not just for that but for hating the country that made her rich.
Simply outrageous.It truly is a man’s world .

It’s unthinkable that she was banned for pointing out the obvious! RIP common sense.
I'm a transgender person and it's absolutely bonkers mad that a biological male could compete against biological females. I was born male and am 6 foot tall and 270 pounds. I'm built like a linebacker and while that really sucks for fitting into women's clothes, it doesn't change the fact that I would absolutely demolish 99.9% of biological women in most sports.
You need help dude.
Won’t ever change the fact you’re a MAN.
You sound like a dainty little thing...😂😂😂
@@GreenieMcGreenWhy do you think,?!
World gone mad.
What is with all these women's sporting records being shattered all of a sudden? Keep it up ladies!
It’s so sad to see these amazing athletes who worked the hardest of all in their respective fields get treated like this. This is real injustice, real discrimination yet you won’t see feminism fight for it. So sad, I do feel for all these women who have lost out on their rightful spots as champions to men who blatantly have copious advantages over them by the sheer fact they are men. It’s why we’ve separated men and women’s sports ever since sports became competitive. The world’s gone mad.
Imagine turning up on your appeal day only to have it resheduled because it clashed with the trans-lifter's prostate examination
Male horse: stallion, Female horse: mare. Male cattle: Bull, female cattle: Cow. Male human: Man, female human: Woman. It’s as simple as that.
GOOD ON HER, GIRLS WE HAVE NATURAL VIGINA, CLITORIS, HORMONES PRODUCE IN OUR BODIES TO HAVE PERIODS, WE GIVE BIRTH💪💪💪💪💪
For millennia, sports meant competition among the strongest, fastest human bodies. All of those bodies were exclusively male. That was an accepted truth. In the 20th century, women's sports was created solely for the purpose of allowing women to compete in sports. The only reason women's sports exists is so that women, (i.e. adult human biological females), can safely and fairly compete against themselves. Allowing any man to compete against women in women's sports completely destroys women's sports. Eliminating all women's sports would be fairer than allowing men in women's sports.
So women have gone along with this by competing with known men, I have no sympathy
The day will come, when a 6ft6 male tennis player will play against women and win all the prize money
Stop giving her attention. She's finished! Her career is over!
Exactly
She can now fade into oblivion and her relevance is null and void

@@millwallholdingslol right ppl keep saying she an I don’t know if they’re talking about the power lifter lady or Megan
Easy, make biological male teams, female teams and then have a seperate category for transgenders, more ticket sales, 3x world cups every couple of years, let the crazies sort themselves out! Go April, the world supports you.
Rapinoe makes me wish hate crimes could get a pass.she doesnt deaerve to be on earth
Karma,ALWAYS FIXES THESE THINGS!
where can I get her sweater?
Best way to handle this is that all biological females should not participate at all and that no one shows up to this event.And start a new event when no.1 rule to enter the event should be “Must be born a biological female” to participate………it’s not against the “law” if it’s a rule of an event 😂
This is an absolute disgrace. This is what happens when people tell the truth. I feel for April. It is not right.
Oh, And best of luck with your appeal, April. If there is any justice in this world, you will be successful.
The worst part is that there are people celebrating this and congratulating someone for breaking a record they didn’t really earn. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to have a trans grouping. You want to be trans, no one is stopping you. We honestly don’t care. Just go join others like you and compete against them.
Megan Rapinoe is also one of the worst women to idolize. I pray no young girls are looking at her and want to be like her someday. There are so many much better women to use as a hero.
Respect has gone too far.
Why did a WOMAN get suspended so that MEN can compete in a womans catergory?!! Absolutely ridiculous 🙄
Absolutely bonkers!
Piers should release the names and email addresses of the board members who have decided to suspend her. Canadians should know who exactly is suspending women from their sports for speaking out about men competing against women.
“Bodies play sports, not identities” … bars!
The idea that it's ok for a woman to play in men's leagues and vice-versa is just plain insane.
That career ending injury might be a curse in disguise as now without a soccer career Rapinoe can focus all her energy on more senseless activism. She won't care of how little credibility she has left, narcissists never know when to stop.
Glad April will be pursuing legal action if needed. Total BS done against her. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 April!
When it comes to trans truth and scientific facts and biology, they ignore utter madness
A 2 year suspension is insanity!!
Thank you Ben for your moral strength in these terrible times!!! And thanks for the comedic break, we needed it!
What has Canada come to
The craziest part about all of this is that you don’t hear or read about senate hearings or national news stories because a woman playing in a man’s sport.
It’s always about a man in a woman’s sport
I just love how Pierce inadvertently admitted that Lionel Messi is a better player than his great friend Cristiano Ronaldo at 3:09
Women's sports has always struggled to be taken seriously, stuff like this doesn't help
Fucking love it it when they call him Pierce. Never gets old.
Why doesn't every single woman back her up and refuse to compete and let the man compete against himself? Simple .
