“Opposing transgender athletes in women’s sport is not a problem of tolerance or equality. It is justice and protect biological women,” he wrote. “I do not believe in any universe that a person who was born as a biological man does not have a physical advantage over a biological woman, regardless of the hormones they have taken.”
McCain added that he did not believe that women and girls should be forced to share a costume with a biological man, a former star swimmer from NCAA Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan spoke with legislators about last year.
McCain added that, ultimately, the problem is a “loss of loss” for Democrats.

“This is a lost cultural war problem for Democrats. I will never understand why they want to die in this hill,” he wrote. “They claim that it affects such a small number of people, but that argument also works in reverse: why are they promoting an unfair situation for the ego of a few?
“This is a problem of equality. I am not coverage, I do not turn to social pressure and I will not move to all those who fight with me on this issue, I thank you for your courage.”
The problem began in March after McCain highlighted Payton McNabb’s injury he suffered in a volleyball game at the hands of a transgender athlete.
He suggested in his response to McCain that McNabb was “vilifying” the transgender people.
“Surprised that it is buying the vilipendio of the trans community given the real problems that occur in this country, its previous ally of the LGBTQ community and the fact that this problem affects approximately four people in this country,” Cohen wrote in an X publication.

McCain added in her column that she knew Cohen for years, but now suggested that she could be considered a “former friend.”
