Here's Why One Democrat Came Out Against Trans Athletes in Women's Sports.

Biological men who think they are women competing in women’s sports has been a hot-button issue for several years now. While many Democrats promote the idea of letting men compete against women in the name of inclusivity, Republicans have worked hard to push back on this and protect women’s spaces. 

However, in the aftermath of last week’s election, some Democrats spoke out about transgender in women’s sports. Townhall also covered how The New York Times acknowledged that this was one of the issues that helped Trump win.

One Democrat who voiced his opinion on the matter happens to be elected to Congress.

Last week, in an interview with The New York Times, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) said that Democrats focus too much on issues that do not resonate with most of America. Allowing transgenders to compete in women’s sports is one of them, he said. 

“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” he told the newspaper. “I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” 

Predictably, Moulton faced backlash from his party for stating this. But, he doubled down. 

“I stand firmly in my belief for the need for competitive women’s sports to put limits on the participation of those with the unfair physical advantages that come with being born male,” Moulton said in a statement to NBC10 Boston late last week. “I am also a strong supporter of the civil rights of all Americans, including transgender rights. I will fight, as I always have, for the rights and safety of all citizens. These two ideas are not mutually exclusive, and we can even disagree on them.” 

On Sunday, Moulton said on MSNBC, “The backlash I’ve received proves my point.”

“I was just speaking authentically as a dad about one of many issues where I think we’re just out of touch with the majority of voters, and I stand by my position,” he said.
