Jonathan Van Ness shut down Megyn Kelly’s criticism of his recent conversation with Dax Shepard about the rights of transgender kids
He continued: “But here’s the thing, I don’t think you would make a video of every single time a high school or collegiate athlete got injured playing volleyball or soccer or basketball or baseball or any of those sports when she gets injured by a cisgender competitor, which happens all the time. Why? Because sports are dangerous. Volleyball is dangerous. Trans women don’t make sports dangerous, they are dangerous.
Van Ness then noted that “advocating for trans inclusion in sports and for trans rights does not take away from women’s rights.” He emphasized that “women deserve the same access” to opportunities in sports and said that he is “advocating for that all the time.”. I believe in trans rights. So, yeah I’m advocating for all the people. That’s what I try to do and all the best to you.”, 38.
Van Ness countered: “All I’m saying is what we know about misinformation and disinformation is when you have an outsized reaction to something, there’s a good chance that you’re being exposed to misinformation and disinformation. And a lot of the rhetoric around the anti-trans backlash does have a lot of misinformation and disinformation in it.”
He went on to point out that many people “think they’re really fighting” for women when they exclude trans kids from sports and said it’s possible to “not be transphobic” while still having “thoughts that espouse trans misogyny and espouse transphobic ideologies or beliefs.”By signing up, I agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy and to receive emails from USWeekly
