Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports: The Left's 'It's Only a Few' Defense Demolished

Kelly reads from an Out Sports article estimating tens of thousands of uncloseted transgender athletes at the high school level, directly contradicting media claims that only a handful of trans athletes compete in women's sports. Finnerty picks up the thread with two concrete examples: Lia Thomas, a biological male who won a Division I national swimming championship at UPenn, and Peyton McNabb, a female high school volleyball player who was spiked in the face by a 6'3" biological male in 2022, was knocked unconscious for over a minute, and suffered a traumatic brain injury requiring hospitalization. [1] — Matt Taibbi "CNN's chief legal analyst Laura Coates described the Supreme Court's trans-sports ruling as involving someone 'assigned the male gender at …" 18:50 Finnerty makes a moral argument as well: even if the numbers were small, as the left claims, that would not make it acceptable — drawing the parallel to Sheridan Gorman's murder, which Democrats similarly try to dismiss as an isolated incident. Kelly credits McNabb with helping build the case that led to the Supreme Court's ruling.
Rob Finnerty cited Lia Thomas's national swimming championship as proof that even a single transgender athlete can cause significant harm to women's sports competition.
In 2022, a female high school volleyball player suffered a traumatic brain injury after a biological male player spiked a ball into her face at close range.
Pride Month 2026 featured scenes from Washington Square Park of people twerking on poles and light fixtures while throwing bottles at police. Seattle Pride ended with Antifa-affiliated attendees arresting independent journalists who covered the event. Finnerty says these events have become increasingly violent and perverse since gay marriage was legalized in 2015.
