Whoopi Goldberg Thinks Those Opposing Men In Women’s Sports ‘Don’t Know Anything About’ Female Anatomy

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed Monday that anyone opposing trans-identifying men from competing in women’s sports fails to understand basic female anatomy.

Goldberg told Dylan Mulvaney, a trans-identifying male activist, that those against men competing in women’s sports are ignorant about women’s bodies and just immediately assume that female athletes are weak. Studies have proven that men are biologically stronger and carry more body mass than women, posing an unfair advantage to male athletes and a higher risk of injury for women.

“I think part of the problem that the trans community is facing is the same problem that women face,” Goldberg said. “Is if you don’t know anything about our bodies, then you don’t know how it works. So, when you come in and you say ‘oh, 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 don’t know what’s going on or why this is an issue.”

“The same for me when people say, ‘oh, you know, I don’t know how I feel about you.’ You do, God doesn’t make mistakes. And the challenge is not to the trans people, it’s to the people who are not trans. That’s what God is looking to see, how you treat people. That’s what is happening,” Goldberg continued.

Despite Goldberg’s claims, women athletes’ body strength is typically between 40% to 75% that of men’s, meaning that male athletes naturally have significantly more upper and lower body strength compared to their female counterparts, according to the National Library of Medicine. Men also have been found to have “significantly higher” muscle thickness and larger body sizes compared to women, a 2002 study by Princeton University found.
