I'm pretty sure there's a vast silent majority out there who agree whole-heartedly with Morgan and Navratilova. But people are afraid to speak up because madness has become the right thing in this world. You get cancelled for being sane.
It's actually a movement that's indoctrinating kids, it's ridiculous.
I'm absolutely sure the vast silent majority is there, because 100% of people who express an opinion face-to-face, outside places of work, to people they at least know a bit (me), agree with Morgan and Navratilova. I've not heard one single opinion disagreeing with them. I'm sure they exist, but they don't exist in the circles I talk in.
Most people including trans people agree with that view. There’s a reason why they’re been banned from every female sport now.
Why scared being cancelled? The world dont evolve around them.
This is great, as a man i can identify as a woman, make millions in women's sports for like 3 years then leave and identify as a man again. Heck yeah, easy money
true, I think we found a new get rich quick scheme xD
🙃🙃🙃🙃
there isnt that much money to be made in woman sports. isnt it?
The only problem, hope you dont compete against women(identified).
Wait until this transgenderism becomes a trend. Then women sports will be just as competitive as men's.
Well said Piers! "BULLYING PPL INTO SILENCE" that pretty much wraps it up , your no nonsense approach to this topic is greatly APPRECAITE , your continued quest to help society come back to their senses is so reassuring THANK YOU , keep up the great work!
I think trans people should compete against trans people. Trans-men v Trans-men, Trans-women v Trans-women
This is all uterly nonsense. There are " 100 genders" then there should be 100 gender categories in sport. Simple as that. And next will be changing rooms, toiletes, specific schools and so on. This has to stop.
Trans woman are trans woman NOT woman gget out of the woman sports, toiletes, changing rooms etc.
I aint payin tax dollars just for that
Or just 1 trans people category. If they see themselves as gender neutral, then let them suffer the consequences of their own choices. Then the biologically born women would probably complain, but oh well, you chose it in the first place.
yea lol no one will watch that
This will open a pandoras box... We'll have other genders wanting recognition in sports as well
We´ve seen cases of 60 years old men identifying themselves as women in order to retire earlier (sin men retire at 65), this is in Argentina, this is the same case. this is not embracing inclusivity, it is just taking advantage of an unclear agenda.
The professor complete ignores nature. The fact that more muscles and the ability to use them, will give an transgender (male to female) tennisplayer for instance, unfair advantages against a female player. Once debaters ignore facts, it is an uneven fight against reality.
Interesting that they didn't invite a real medical doctor for his opinion but some "sociologist". What a joke.
This is gold! LGB is like KGB
😂😂
This professors argument doesn't hold water. Well it does, but not for the reasons he would like.
He says he can't be a jockey because he's to tall, a basket ball player because he's to small, well then shouldn't that translate that he or any other man shouldn't be able to compete as a woman because they are to male?
ikr. but i say, hey, let's wait until they talk about fighting/martial arts sports. and if they don't change their mind even then, idk what would make them.
I believe a trans gender women should compete with other trans gender women. They should have their own division.
It wouldn’t last
True
only fair solution
Taht would be great - but we literally don’t have enough trans athletes. Maybe in a couple years yes but not right now.
I just don't understand how this man can call himself a professor when he clearly does not have a clue what genes and hormones do to someone's body, Otherwise he would not have this argument.
He's terrified of getting canceled, and plays the game he needs to play from there
Also he is NOT a woman!
@@classicalcompanionclassicalcom joke, where did we get with this
*He also looks like he's never played sports in his life.*
That "professor" didn't answer the question. Don't let the cheaters and frauds invading the women's locker room, restroom and sports stealing championships, records and opportunities.
Women who speak out are labeled as transphobic and banned from competing.
Caster Semenya was not born a female. He is a genetic male, with XY chromosomes. He has PAIS----Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, which causes his body to have an incomplete response to androgens, the most dominant of which is testosterone. Therefore, at his birth, his genetalia did not look fully normal for a male, and his doctors advised his parents that it would be best to rear him as female. However, his parents did not follow the next medically necessary step. For AIS males who wish to live as females, to more closely match the look of their genitalia, their undescended testicles need to be removed, and they need to receive supplemental estrogens to help them go through female puberty. If that surgery and therapy had been done for Caster Semenya, he would be considered to be a biological female. Not a genetic female, not a fertile female, but a biological female, who went through puberty as such, and who therefore has no gender advantage over genetic females. Biological female should be defined as someone who went through female puberty. Chromosomes (genetics) should not matter, and current hormone levels should not matter. If Caster Semenya suppresses his hormones for six months, that dies not take away his male advantage of bigger, stronger, bones and muscles, and larger heart and lungs. He has permanently received those advantages over biological females, be cause he went through male puberty. Therefore, he should never be allowed to compete against women, at all.
I'm not embracing gender fluidity, I'm offended and this man is a doctor.
LGB is fine, but when they added the T they joined the crazy train that America seems to be on. AFAIK Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual are all words referring to a persons sexual preferences. Then they added all these letters that have nothing to do with sexual preferences and are all about personal identity. The word ''Straight'' has more inline with Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals, since it also refers to sexual preference.
Adding all these letters that refer to personal identity just confuses everything.
this man is a professor? then i can become one too then. and quite easily too.
so if that's what he's suggesting, then we should hold such an event and *purposefully let the women lose* then? because that's what it is.
this professor doesn't take into account biological women at all. the records would be set by men and trans-women. even then i doubt that that would make him concede.
and one more thing: trans people exclude themselves. openly. then suddenly insists they are to be included. what kind of unfunny joke is that?
Ye, He's a professor in Bullshit studies by the sounds of it.
Transphobic means afraid of trans people, seeking to understand the appropriate place for a trans person or for all trans person's is far from being afraid it is being rational
Transphobic means people who are too afraid to actually transition and commit to the surgeries to become the opposite sex and are a fraud by simply declaring they now identify as something they clearly are not!
EVERYONE has to know the correct answer to this. It's not confusing.
You were bullied a little at a time, until your afraid to speak up.
Be opposed to any hate speech policies.
"If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize." ~ Voltaire
We are not born in a body. We are born as a body, we do not self-identify we are identified but others.
1 question
How the hell is he a professor.
He just identifies as a professor
@@romperstomper1183 🤣🤣🤣
It's mind blowing that he said 'why would someone live a facade' with such blind ignorance, although considering what he's arguing, not surprising.
Yeah. Why would someone live a facade? Millions of dollars, that's why.
Heck yes. Never should of been aloud
Honestly we don’t have to accommodate, especially when it takes from others rights
I believe these people who say that it is ok for men to join women's sports should get in the ring with a man themselves and prove to us that there is no advantage.
💯💯👍
Imagine being in the university were this professor is your teacher. How much is he being paid to do this nonsense? Not everyone can be elite athletes just like you can’t just wake up one day and change your sex. We’ve entertained this for far too long.
Absolutely not ! of course it’s an unfair advantage , they are male
Definitely an unfair advantage, chucking a wig on and having some silicon put in your chest doesn't make you female.
The thing is it doesn't even take that these days they just have to "feel" like they're a woman.
A schizophrenic might think they're an international spy, we don't chuck a James Bond kit at them and say "crack on, have at it" we medicate them back to reality. It should be the same with this lot.
hahahahaha that introduction was hilarious at :25
Piers doing the Lord's work💯
The professor is mixing vaginas and penises, I mean apples and oranges. The military and other organizations are accepting the admission and equality of trans people in a social sense. They can do jobs if they're qualified. But athletic competition is not just a social construct. It's based on the science of the body. Athletes spend their entire lives improving their bodies performance including, reaction times, muscle mass, VO (oxygen intake based on size of lungs), heart size (increased efficient blood flow), etc. The worlds athletic organizations are choosing social constructs over science. They're afraid to anger sponsors and appear trans-phobic, then loosing commercial sponsors. Money. that's the bottom line.
He basically said noone wouls go through all that trouble so its fine. Have you no idea to what extent people will go to for money?? They risk their lives, what's pretending for a few years. And he didnt even have a solution in the end. Oh yeah we have to inclusive, so that means if a man de ides he is a women, he can take part in women games and too bad for women, we dont give a shit about women's rights
Of course he knows
Yeah, like no athlete ever went through all that trouble to take performance enhancing drugs. Winning is everything to these people. They'll do anything to win and for all the publicity that goes with it.
I think we shouldn't ask biological males if transwomen are allowed in women sports. Let's ask biological female medical experts, biological female sports committees, and biological female sports participants if they should allow transwomen in their category.
We are behind you Morgan..
How can he say “just accept the fact that he can’t be a jockey,” or Piers can’t play in the NBA because of physical reasons, but refuse to understand that a male who can’t compete with the top men in the WORLD just accept it and not transition to have an advantage?? He literally muted his own point.
Then, why not give them their own category transgender men play against transgender men trans women play against trans women. 🤷🏻♂️
Because men identifying as women don't want Trans sports. Why would they? Winning against women is too easy.
Indi she is a great example of what a Trans person is love her view….. I feel sorry that she has to put up with Pride ideologies/activism… I would love to see Douglas and Indi in a Peirs interview… please it would be a good listen… against trans in sport…. Indi you are a great human being❤️ I am a biological woman… the man needs to be shut up he is a waste of space.
India is not like this anymore. He is a full TRA. Says he is a biological female. Says men should be in women's prisons and in changing rooms with girls and women.

This response answers THAT, ! question. :Marker{04:18}. In the swimming field, there should be a lapse in the starting bell a few seconds after the starting bell or women's. THAT would be determined by the racing council and officials. In Golf, There are two Tee markers on the tee-off green. One for women and one for men. Also, you are given the choice of having a ,"Handicap " in Golf also. In track and field, A racer on the inside lane starts farther behind the farther outside lanes. In the most famous car race in the world Indianapolis 500, Your qualifying time determines where you start in the starting grid. In a lot of sports, you have the choice of having a point advantage also. Ping Pong for example. I.E. Player #1, says to Player #2, I'll spot you "X" points".
What I find strange is the fact that there a no ftm athleths who compete in the mens cathegory complaining that the will always be at disatvantage against men.
Somehow they are always left out out this discussion ?
India Willoughby has done a complete 180 on his opinions here and now supports trans women in sports. Maybe his activist buddies pushed him into it.
Funny how you don't see trans-men competing against real men, isn't it?
That would have the opposite effect. They would always lose and therefore, no one would notice.
There are certain sports that trans gender athletes could complete on a fairly equal footing but these sports tend to skill based (eg shooting archery and equestion ( where men and and woman do complete on an equal footing )), but I do understand where those concerns about physical based sports come from. I believe more reseach on this issue is needed.
Yeah just do a different event for these people. I've seen a streetfight with my own eyes pitting a normal adult female against a smaller built trans person. It was like seeing Khabib destroying everyone in MMA. Literally in seconds. Let them compete against the likes of them. Like the Paralympics for example.
India Willoughby has it right on. Enough said.
Why is castor Semenya pic in the background ?
Over FOUR MILLION VIEWS? And just 159 comments lol? C'mon youtube, the censoring is off the damn charts!!
@truthhurts2879. Sadly, my friend, they employ muppets as moderators here. If brain cells were made of chocolate, half of them wouldn't have enough to fill a Smartie. 😉
What a lot of people don't understand about hormones, and this also includes steroids, is that even after blocking out testosterone and replacing it with estrogen, the body (muscles) retains most of that strength. Just because you are on estrogen now and are blocking your test, doesn't make all of those gains go away. Most of those gains actually will stay there. That's the main reason why athletes when caught doing steroids get a life time ban. The argument is basically "ok fair enough, you're not doing steroids anymore and we could test you every day for the rest of your career, but that's not gonna change the insane advantage you already have accrued from the days where you were doing roids. It can never be fair to put you up against a natural"
Most people who use steroids will do them in cycles. You do them for the months in the off season while you're training, then you stop doing them but continue to hit the gym hard. You won't fail the test, and you will have most of the gains you made during the cycle in tact.
SAME RULE APPLIES TO NATURAL TESTOSTERONE. You could take a 25 year old male, castrate him entirely, and pump him full of all the estrogen you'd like. He could have 34 GGG sized knockers and still be insanely way stronger than any woman.
A lot of people think that you take away the test and put in estrogen, and the muscles just act as though it's always been that way, but that's just simply not the case. If it were, athletes wouldn't get a lifetime ban for steroids. But the science clearly shows that there are lasting impacts from high levels of test even after its no longer present in the system. That is why trans women should under no circumstances be able to compete with biological women in athletic sports.
Do they compete in men's sport because they will come dead last in every event😂😂
Based on the doctor's theory; Tyson would not be a good boxer because of his height? Also you do get short NBA basketballs players.
Can i please join the womans national futbol team!!??? Im a 60 year old man....Retired futbol player....and..out of shape....and look forward to scoring 3 goals every game....and winning the scoring title. Oh please...put me on your squad!
When the Olympics is on, there should be Transgender Games, just like we have the Paralympics, and the Special Olympics. Everyone has the right to Compete in Sports, as long as they stay in their own category.
8:00 he lost his mind lol
The answer is Yes this isnt a debate.
Piers and Sharan are correct end of
Why is that everyone who supports Transgender who comes in a debate, always cut off and get loud and wants the other people to shush! Then they get angry if you dont agree with them! hmmm!!! toxic
PROFESSOR Ellis's INCLUSIVITY WIPES WOMEN OUT.
ITS NO LONGER INCLUSIVE FOR BIOLOGICAL WOMEN anger 😒 😤 🙄
Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the biological sex, reproductive organs, and sexual characteristics that develop in a person. Female (XX) mammals inherit one X chromosome from each parent, but males (XY) receive an X from their mother and a Y sex chromosome from their father.
The fact that discourse in this subsists of the title is why the state of things is so dismal. Men clearly and obviously have an advantage over women in physical contests. The debate about this is so behind where the issue is currently at that there's no use in even tuning in to these kinds of interviews/debates.
Please as Africans lets never allow these kinds of things to enter our society, and let's protect our kids at all costs in Africa...
Where are all the comments
"No". This issue doesnt deserve to even be discussed. Pierce is right. Next topic please
I couldn't be a jockey or a basketball player...yes, you could...just not one that can compete in professional sports
If I wanna be like Lebron or MJ, I just need to identify myself as a woman then join WNBA? ahahahahaha
I haven't watched this show since Peirs left. He was the only good thing about it.
YES
Notice how the transitioned guest answers the gotcha question from that other guest who evidently has a doctorate but he couldn't do the same and gets so upset, maybe he is not use to being interrupted and has the floor and everyone's undivided attention at his brilliance, that he tells them to be silent. Always the condescending arrogance from the one side in these debates in my opinion.
The American swimmer was in the 400's in standing; converts to female, is a champion.
This guys arguments are tertible
Let sports be open for all categories rather than gender categories. Let trans people, men and women compete together in combined events to conlcude that biological women sports will vanish from the pages of history 😂
Love how on every good morning video I go on with piers challenging people, all the comments have been removed and only now new ones are being made, wonder when they get around to removing all of are new comments!
online college professor at best.....
Why are there only 12 comments from within the last 3 days..? Odd.
some people are like, put debate while cooking😂
Fast forward a male weight lifter Anne Andrews entered a competition identifying as a woman and smashed the world record previously held by a trans woman
Uhm excuse me! Why is Castor Semenya on the poster at the back? She’s a woman competing with other women!
Wanna call me transphobic? Go on, like I give a ****. I won't cry, I swear 😅
She said the LGB is like the KGB 😂 that’s clever asf I like that one.
Whether at an elite or non- elite level, it should be based on biology. This is WHY there are male and female sports.
This is why professors do not live in the real world.
Apparently there is a 10% difference between women and men of similar stature in muscle strength etc., so why not do a study to see if limiting trans athletes to those who are 10% shorter and/or 10% lighter than the average height/weight of the female team, and then see how the results are?
Yes, but you can not reduce a persons stature or muscle density by 10%. It is simply impossible, even if they fully transition. So even a trans person that has fully transitioned will still have certain physical advantages over biological women.
I Salute Martina Navratilova for speaking out against transgender athlete's competing against female athlete's, especially in Track and Field events, if these Trans athlete's wants to compete against other trans athlete's as well or better yet since they were born a man they should compete against the male athlete's.
I always laugh when someone says "SELF identifies as". Yes. YOU. YOU YOURSELF IDENTIFY AS A TOASTER. It's not MY job to call or treat you as a toaster. MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA.
Ive got a great idea to make it fair for evryone Just make a tournement / orginisasions for the trance genders so they can compete with other trance gender and stuff .
HOLY SHIT, this was 4 years ago?!
He has only ever had a game of ping pong against his boyfriend
Clueless
. Don't you remember the Olympic games in 1948/ 52/56/60/ The East Germans and the Russians used to have Female hammer throwers and shot put and discuss throwers built like heavy weight boxers. They were massive in size and strength . They won all the golds , and nobody said a sqeak , but nobody believed they were normal. Our athletes looked ridiculously small against these female giants. They could have been trans, but were never tested for years
Im a male n im not tall 5'5 lol but i know i have strength advantages over the average female
TRANSGENDER GAMES IS A SUPERB IDEA.
This professors argument about sports being unfair is that “it’s nature” the irony of saying that when talking about trans athletes 😂
What about contact sport? What about transgender men fighting in the mens heavyweight division.
Trans then should begin their own "all-trans" sports teams in which ever sport they choose & compete with their own kind. That would make it equal.
Yes they do
These people need compeated against them self seeing that their more then enough to compete
And yes seperated all three types female competition
The male competition
And the transgender competition
And problem solved
And why would anyone be offended over that
If a pathologist receives a badly injured body and is to perform an autopsy. How then does he identify them? Most likely as a man or a woman..because there is no other choice...
I'm waiting for the day a female born person or transgender opts to compete in sports and dominates.
I wonder why it's taking long
They included a handicapped sports category, so there should be transgender category.
Of course they do! End of.
Do winged animal species have an advantage in being able to fly, compared to their pairs living in the ocean, who have dorsal fins?
yes you dumbass
some have wings and cant fly and the ones that can fly are more likely to survive longer asshole
Why do they have Castor Semenya at the back?She is not a trans woman
what theory? the professor could barely string 2 words together
Woman v woman no compromise.
LGB acting like the KGB, I couldn't think of a better comparison. GIVE TRANS-WHICHEVER WAY THE CLAIM TO BE, their OWN CATEGORY.
Yes, no argument because its true.
The easy thing is for all the women athletes walk away and do not compete, then the trans male will have to compete on his own
I think transgenders should have a different category in sports
Mother Nature has nothing to do with what trans people are doing to their bodies, in fact she is most likely crying. How dare that guy bring Mother Nature in to this.
