Whoopi Goldberg raised some eyebrows when the topic on ABC’S “The View” turned to whether trans athletes should be able to participate in women’s sports.

Goldberg perhaps thought she had an ally in guest Dylan Mulvaney, a trans influencer, not even Mulvaney’s presence could save the host, Outkick reported.

Monday’s conversation got going when Goldberg talked about what California Gavin Newsom (D) thought about the topic — mainly it was unfair for men to compete in women’s sports.

“If you don’t know anything about our bodies, you don’t know how it works…you’re assuming that the women can’t do anything,” Goldberg said.

Mulvaney did not come back with a strong opinion one way or the other, but offered a personal experience.

“The last time I played a sports I was 6 years old, and I assigned myself as the nurse,” Mulvaney said. “In the words of ‘Wicked,’ ‘I am not that girl.’”

Mulvaney then called Schuyler Bailar, a transgender athlete, someone Mulvaney respects on the topic.

Bailar has spoken out against what Newsom said.

“That’s someone who I really look to for guidance and I think that is what’s tricky, is like, now stepping into this identity, I’m still like a ‘baby trans,’ I’m only three years in,” Mulvaney said.

According to Fox News, Goldberg likened problems trans athletes face as the same female athletes face.

“Part of the problem the trans community is facing, and it’s the same problem that women face, is if you don’t know anything about our bodies, you don’t know how it works,” Goldberg said. “When you come in and you say, these are men competing against women, you’re assuming that the women are weak and just can’t do anything.”

“Have you seen female athletes? They know what they’re doing, so I’m not sure what’s going on or why this is an issue,” she continued. 

Goldberg added that people who think genders can’t be changed are the real problem.

“God doesn’t make mistakes. The challenge is not to the trans people, it’s to the people who are not trans. That is who God is looking to see how you treat people,” Goldberg said.

Riley Gaines, an advocate for banning trans athletes from women’s sports spoke out about the interaction.

“She is right; God does not make mistakes. However, people do, and it is a mistake to say that a man who transitions to be a woman should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, because it always ends poorly for real women,” Gaines said on X.

“Do transgender people deserve to be treated with dignity? Absolutely, you will never hear me say or see me do anything different. But they don’t belong in women’s sports” Gaines added.

"God doesn’t make mistakes. The challenge is not to the trans people, it’s to the people who are not trans. THAT is who God is looking to see how you treat people."

Blasphemy. Just when you think Whoopi can't get any more stupid, she proves us all wrong.

She also posted about the women of “The View.

“I will never not be impressed by how unintellectual and out of touch the women of The View are lol,” Gaines wrote.

“Absolutely remarkable,” she added.
