Sen. Ted Cruz Challenges TMZ DC on Transgender Athlete Debate | TMZ DC

How are you man? It's good to see you. I'm doing well. Hey, have you been following the WNBA and this transgender debate? It's all they're talking about there. I saw Clay Travis offered 10 million dollars for a game. I'd watch that game. Could I just ask, Megan Kelly said that Caitlin Clark is a coward for not taking a side in either this or that. What do you feel about that? Oh look, Caitlin Clark is a hell of a ball player and fun to watch. Do you think she should take a side? At the end of the day, I don't think athletes are required to express an opinion on every topic. I think it is clearly unfair to allow boys to compete against girls and to allow men to compete against women. Boys and girls are different and mankind has known that literally since the dawn of time. Is it a big issue though at WNBA level? Like I don't see many. I'm curious, tell me what does the W stand for? Women. It seems there's some coaches in the WNBA who can't figure that out. But should they also be like sympathetic and empathetic for young little girls who like are feeling an identity crisis? They want to play a sport, they want to be with their friends. If they're boys, they're not young little girls and the fact that your ideology, do you think it would be fair to let LeBron James play in the WNBA? No, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about young people. You're talking about old people too? You're not just saying five-year-olds. The WNBA doesn't have five-year-olds. At a professional level, yeah, I mean obviously. But at a minor level when these kids are just trying to be happy and be kids, not letting them socialize with their friends. They can socialize, they can be happy, but to be honest though, a lot of the transgenderism is coming from leftist adults who are convincing their kids of this nonsense and it is really sad to see the ideology of parents. Listen, I think God knows what he's doing when he makes a little boy. I think God knows what he's doing when he makes a little girl and I think the phenomenon of woke leftist adults. I read a tweet once from Cynthia Nixon, the actress, who said her child is trans, her sister's child is trans, all of her friend's children are trans. You know what that is? That's adults putting their politics and their ideology on their kids. Maybe it's letting their kids be who they really are. You don't know. We don't know. You know what? If you don't know what a boy is and you don't know what a girl is, there's a reason you work at TMZ. All right, Ben Ted. I appreciate you, man. Thank you.
