Aaron Rodgers: 'Trans women' competing in women's sports is 'anti-woman'

Aaron Rodgers, a former quarterback for the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets, said that men identifying as women and competing in women's sports is "anti-woman."

Rodgers, currently a National Football League free agent, made the comment on Wednesday during an interview on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, The Daily Wire reported.

“What is it, like 700 women were robbed of gold medals across various sports — might have been more than that — because these biological men pretended to be women and identified as women and dominated in women’s sports,” Rogan said. “They have a giant advantage. Stop pretending they don’t.”

“Yeah, the trans women movement is actually anti-woman,” Rodgers responded, clarifying that he was referring to sports.

“You’re not seeing trans men dominating anything,” he added, speaking of biological women who identify as men and compete against biological males. “It’s because there’s a biological difference.”

A United Nations report from the Special Rapporteur last year about violence against women and girls found that female athletes lost out on nearly 900 medals after they had to compete against males.
