The Biggest Loser star and celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels has come out against men competing in women’s sports, saying the evidence “irrefutably” undercuts the transgender cause.
Michaels, an open lesbian, expounded on her position during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Tuesday. While she acknowledged that the LGBTQ cause for “inclusion” is a noble one, she felt it should not come at the expense of women athletes.
“You’ve got two competing goals in sports. … One is inclusion, which everybody can understand and get on board with. However, the second goal that’s in direct opposition with inclusion in this instance is going to be a fair competition,” Michaels said.
“And if that’s your priority, if your overriding priority is going to be fairness over inclusion, you’ve got to turn to the data, and the data irrefutably shows that biological males are 10 to 30% stronger, faster, have better endurance, better aerobic capacity across the board,” she added.
LGBTQ activists have often touted puberty blockers and testosterone reduction as an equalizer, but Michaels noted that the evidence refutes this.
“If we defer to the studies … they show that even on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, the decrease in physical performance is, quote, trivial. That’s what the data says,” Michaels said.

Thank, Jillian for your firm grip on the obvious.
Who’d a thunk it?
Where’d you get this info? I mean how did you find it?
This Lesbo has a point.
Martina Navratilova has also taken a lot of heat for her stance on this issue.
I would disagree, only because the statement is false.
I agree that it is true in many cases.
“’Data irrefutably’ shows transgender athletes have advantage in women’s sports”
Some may have an advantage, the others really are possibly pussies
but that can’t be! we’ve all been assured by the women’s liberation movement that women are no different than men. bunch of whineybabies just proving that men ARE better than women. even at being women. now buck up girls.
No Shi**te Sherlock.
Anybody who has been to a competitive swim meet can audibly hear the difference when the girls hit the water vs when the boys hit the water.
Did anyone not already know this?
Duh?
Don’t need Jillian to state the obvious.
And Jilkian was also downplaying the strength difference. Way more than 10-30%. Especially upper body.
The woke mob will cancel her in 3, 2, 1...
Back in the day I was a pretty hard core weight lifter
Had about 6 months where I was really struggling
Turns out I had a condition that led to acute low testosterone.
My bench press dropped from 365 lbs to the 330 lb range.
Pretty significant drop but not exactly female strengths and physical conditioning
A trained male is going to have a massive advantage over virtually every female short of those on the old East German swim team regardless of what tranny juice he is hitting
Its really just as easy as going and looking at world records in various sporting events head to head. Do women hold the overall world records for any of them?
Whenever I search medical related stuff I add NIH as a term
That search was: lungs men women NIH
Long story, NIH was one of my customers back in the 1990’s and I’ve been addicted to reading the med relates research on the National Library of Medicine site
She’s a lesbian so her thought process even if right on this issue is irrelevant to me.
She’s part of the overall problem.
