Allowing biological men to participate in women's sports "sounds absurd," and while it's important to be inclusive, it's vital to provide a "level playing field," said celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels.
"I'm empathetic to the situation; I completely understand why we want to provide inclusion," Michaels said Thursday during an appearance on Newsmax's "National Report" following the Biden administration's Title IX revisions. "But we also need to provide a level playing field, and you have to determine what's the overriding principle here, right?
"And the science just does not lend itself to this case. If you look at every single aspect, from a genetic predisposition to strength, there are over 6,500 genes in biological men and biological women that express themselves differently; 3,000 of those differences impact the musculoskeletal system.
The Biden administration's new rules broadly protect against discrimination based on gender identity but don't offer guidance about transgender athletes. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose state is among five GOP-led states that have sued over the regulations, said the rules mandate "compliance with radical gender ideology."Solange Reyner ✉ Solange Reyner is a writer and editor for Newsmax.
